ANNOUNCEMENT
To All Ethiopians and friends of Ethiopia Living in Norway
A call for participation in the Word Wide March for Freedom, Justice and Human rights in Ethiopia.
Ato Obang Metho, the leader of Anuak Justice Council has taken the initiative and is organizing the World Wide March for freedom, justice and human rights in Ethiopia. The event will provide Ethiopians with an opportune moment to mark May 15, come together and renew their commitment to the struggle for democracy, freedom and justice in their home country. Democratic and peace-loving Ethiopians have decisively beaten the regime of the mercenary TPLF in the ballot box in the historic May 15, 2005 elections. The dictatorial regime does not have any legitimacy and does not represent the country in any way. The regime of Meles Zenawi has refused to accept the democratic and legal decision of the people as expressed in the ballot boxes and continued to impose its illegitimate rule on the country.
The anti-Ethiopian ethnocentric dictatorial regime of Meles Zenawi is in the process of plunging our country into deep crisis and chaos. It has remained defiant and is closing all the venues for the peaceful settlement of the political crisis which is its own making. Besides, there are alarming and unsettling reports of secretive agreements between the illegitimate regime of Meles Zenawi and Sudan which allows the later to grab Ethiopian land. Considering the gravity of the crisis our country is facing at the moment, we have no option but to forge unprecedented unity and stand together in defense of our county and rights.
There will be a public rally to be held in Oslo Norway as part of the world wide march for freedom, human rights and justice in Ethiopia. All Ethiopians and friends of Ethiopia are cordially invited to take part in the event and demonstrate their solid unity against repression, treason and tyranny which is jeopardizing the existence their country.
Date: Thursday the 15th of May, 2008 (15-05-08).
Place: In front of the Norwegian Parliament (stortinget).
Time: 15:00 or 3:00p.m. in the afternoon.

We have to be there and take the opportunity to remember those massacared by the brutual weyane regime in the aftermath of 2005 election and show our solidarity for the continuing struggle for freedom,justice and human rights.
Demonstration (march) is one of the civilized way of expressing dismay or anger. Using our democratic rights we Ethiopians in the diaspora have been demonstrating so many times against narrow minded, racist, and terrorist TPLF regime and we will of course continue doing so. Nevertheless, the crucial thing we all have to understand at this time is, woyane can not be knelled down by demos only. We need to make more concrete and consecutive actions against woyanes and its supporters wherever they are. Weather by Eritrean case or some other, the Norwegian diplomats are kicked out of Ethiopia by TPLF and I hope after so many years Norway can stand by the side of the oppressed people of Ethiopia. Therefor it is good that Ethiopians in Norway who have been fighting for democracy are preparing to raise your voices again!
