The Proposal of TPLF/EPRDF’s regime on Federalizing the Sidama Capital, Hawassa, will Remain Illegal and Irreconcilable! Press Statement

By United Sidama Parties for Freedom and Justice (USPFJ) June 12, 2013 Unable to receive fair justice for crimes committed against unarmed and nonviolent Sidama civilians who were seeking justice and fairness for their nation, yet were slaughtered by the government army and police in broad day light; the Sidama people have remembered the Loqqe massacre of Sidama civilians whose marches were cut short of reaching their intended destination to lodge their concerns about the failure of government in responding to Sidama nation’s constitutional quest for regional self administration.
