Four prisoners were shot and killed on Monday in Yirgalem town, Sidama Zone, Southern Ethiopia. The prisoners were demanding their release saying they had completed their time. Police said they were killed while trying to escape the prison. But the Sidama Liberation Movement (SLM) said that was not the case. Chairman of the Sidama Liberation Movement (SLM), Dr. Million Tumato told ESAT that the demand by the prisoners was to be free as they had completed their sentences. But the response from authorities, he said, was bullets. Dr. Tumato said it was a cold blooded murder. ESAT sources also said they had heard gunfire in the prison this past Monday. Meanwhile, authorities are reportedly rounding up and detaining the youth for what sources said was to stop an impending protest against the regime and lack of job opportunities after they had graduated from colleges. Dr. Tumato also confirmed to ESAT that the youth in Wondo Melge, Bona, Bensa, and Arbego districts have been ro

Summary of half a century movement to reconstruct political landscape of modern Ethiopia Original Posted on Kichuu Info Malkamuu Jaatee, January 2018 Afaan Oromoo: Documentary Afaanif Guddicha Saba Kush Modern Ethiopia was established by shifting its capital from Gondar to Finfinnee (Addis Ababa) during the era of European colonial powers scramble for the African continent (1881 – 1914). The recent political movement across Oromia, Amahara, and other regions are the continuous out comes of half a century national struggle of peoples of Ethiopia to achieve freedom and democratic rights. The vision to reconstruct the political landscape of modern Ethiopia came into existence out of peasant uprisings in Wello, Tigray, Hararge, Gojjam, and Bale plus the 1960s movements of Afran Qalloo, Macha and Tulama civic organization, and student protests. Erratic political movements before and during 1960s were gained momentum through time and developed into revolution in early 1970s. This p

Ethiopia: – The TPLF/EPRDF Apartheid Intensifies the Systematic Destruction of The Sidama Nation. December 29, 2017, By Denboba Natie Background The tragedies unfolding in Sidama land and befalling its people; and elsewhere in the country for so long, are premediated, systematically planned and stage-managed by the minority incumbent, ‘Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF)’ that is renamed as ‘Ethiopians Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF)’. The former guerrilla fighters, known for their merciless brutality whilst in Tigray mountains of northern Ethiopia (between 1975 and mid-1991), were allowed by the politico-ideological shift of the early 1990s, to become the rulers of Ethiopia. Ever since they controlled the country, they reigned the peoples of Ethiopia with iron feast. They remained literally terrorising the subjects of all regions and Zones with deep ingrained military mentality, hence killing instincts; employing violence after violence. The regime proved

ምንጭ Abstract The existing ethnic federal arrangement of the  Federal democratic republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) is devised with the aim to accommodate the interests of distinct ethnic groups in Ethiopia. This paper attempted to conceptualize federalism as a tool for ethnic diversity accommodation through reviewing the existing literatures on federalism, FDRE and south regional state constitution, city proclamations, and primary data from interview made and with researchers' interpretive arguments. The finding reveals that federalism at city government status contributes to accommodate rights, interests, needs and claims of competing ethnic groups, especially of ethnic minorities better at kebele institutional structures than at city institutional structures. At city institutional structures the indigenous groups are better protected rather than the non indigenous groups. Hence, the success of this process highly depends on the mechanisms adopted for shar
