Ethiopia’s Smayawi (Blue) Party staged several demonstrations in Addis Ababa today, June 2, 2013. Demonstrations were held in Arat Kilo, Piassa, Tewodros Adebabay and Ethio-Cuba Adebabay. The demonstrators waved placards that demanded justice and freedom. They also chanted “Ethiopia Hagerachin” — the famous nationalist rallying cry that translates to “Ethiopia, Our Country”.
In what appears to be a major challenge to the the regime, Muslims and Christians joined forces, rejecting the ruling party’s divide and rule manipulations.
