ADDIS ABABA - Thousands of supporters of Ethiopia's leading opposition party Unity for Democracy and Justice (UDJ) or Andinet called for the unity of the Ethiopian people in a bid to remove the despotic and anti-Ethiopia ruling party.
Leading the crowd with slogans is vocal opposition figure Habtamu Ayalew, foreign relations chief of UDJ. The charismatic Habtamu has been a fearless force whose inspiring messages unify the youth by transcending ethnic and religious lines.
Protesters called for the release of all political prisoners, journalists as well as prisoners of conscience, a call that has so far fallen on deaf ears of the highly corrupt and hopelessly brutal regime that has misruled Ethiopia for the last 23 years (Better video clips pending).
