Etaferahu Bogale and Zewdu Berasso are a married couple who live in Daye  town of Arbegona district in Sidama zone, Southern Ethiopia.

Abstract Food aversions, cravings and pica during pregnancy are commonly known all over the world. They are documented starting from long period of time, and their prevalence varies from 50 to 90% of pregnant women.

This was disclosed at a press conference held at Sarem Hotel on  Saturday where Ayele Semeneh, member of national council and eastern zone coordinator, Sida Haile, Sidama zone representative and Birhanu Fekena, western zone coordinator of the party, argued that new leadership had seized power illegally.
