“Our party called for a stay at home strike in November. The government provoked violence and at least 44 unarmed citizens were murdered. The entire CUD leadership along with dozens of journalists and human rights defenders was jailed. It has been six month since our arrest and our ONLY crime is our commitment to democracy. The irony in all of this, is in the subsequent involvement of foreign officials. Especially US officials. Many Ethiopians were disappointed that the US did not exert its influence to promote democracy - as it could have, as it does in other parts of the world. In fact, in many instances, the US, unjustifiably, supported the dictatorial regime. I thank you for all your persistence to bring democracy in the world! I hope to personally thank you as a free man one day!” Dr.Brehanu Nega Click Mouse To Advance Slides

Just in Addis alone 2 million came out to support opposition parties!

You can fool some people sometimes, But you can't fool all the people all the time.

We will divided and rule forever….

What the Ethiopian government verbally pronounces about democracy to the West is quite the opposite of what it practices in on the ground.

"He comes across as a calm and rational leader, but right under the surface is a hard-core ideologue with a psychopathic willingness to kill his own people to keep power."

“It is outrageous that elected members of parliament are in jail, and facing ridiculous charges that carry the death penalty,” Ana Gomez.

“I want to pass over to my kids a country that makes them proud, a country that allows them to live to the limits of their dreams and beyond. I am in this fight not to liberate others but to fulfill my own desire to live in freedom. Those of you who want to stand and be counted as free individuals can join me and my compatriots in this honorable endeavor, but you have to decide in person and in full consent with your God. And when each one of us reaches that level of yearning for freedom there is no limit to the sky we can reach, to the stars we can approach” Dr. Nega “I want to pass over to my kids a country that makes them proud, a country that allows them to live to the limits of their dreams and beyond.

"It is actually oppression, is actually regression, is killing, it’s beatings, is harassment of people, of the youth… The government has branded the youth as “dangerous hooligans,” and ostracized them. How is it that a government would ostracize the youth, who are actually the future of the country?” Anna Gomez

“Lack of judicial freedom in Ethiopia rules out fair trial for opposition leaders” Ana Gomes,

Freedom of speech is the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship. It is often regarded as an integral concept in modern liberal democracies. The right to freedom of speech is guaranteed under international law through numerous human rights instruments, notably under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, although implementation remains lacking in Ethiopia. censorshipliberal democraciesUniversal Declaration of Human RightsEuropean Convention on Human Rightscensorshipliberal democraciesUniversal Declaration of Human RightsEuropean Convention on Human Rights

“I come to call you to renew your thinking---to rekindle your passion and to be part of creating an Ethiopia that can nurture and love its members, no matter how different each one may be from the next. It is not too late, but it will not be easy. We are caught in a cycle of violence towards each other, believing it is the only way to survive. I come to tell you—this is not the way! I come to tell you we are traumatized from this violence and hate and yet there is hope for healing for our wounds.” “I come to call you to renew your thinking---to rekindle your passion and to be part of creating an Ethiopia that can nurture and love its members, no matter how different each one may be from the next.
