ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA – The plan by Unity for Democracy and Justice (UDJ) to hold a march in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa this coming Thursday to protest the arrest of their leader Wzr. Birtukan Mideksa has been banned by the Woyanne regime.
Vice-Chairman of UDJ, Dr Hailu Araya, told Awramba Times today that the authorities have denied them permission to march.
The UDJ leaders had taken extraordinary measures to make sure that the march would not be banned by the dictatorial regime. One of the measures they took is to limit the number of participants only to 250 registered members of the party who are in leadership positions. They also requested the Federal Police (the notorious Meles Zenawi’s death squads) to help them make sure that only those who have badges to participate in the march.
Woyanne was not impressed by UDJ’s tail wagging. Under the Meles regime any march by UDJ is going to be a march to Kality.
