Ethiopians in Norway have held a great and spectacular demonstration opposing the recent evictions


of ethnic Amharas from different parts of Ethiopia and demanding freedom in Ethiopia.

 We went to the street this afternoon to express their anger over the on-going camping which targets the displacement of Amharic speaking Ethiopians from different parts of the country.

The protesters condemned the eviction of Amharic language speaking innocent Ethiopians from Southern and Benishangula gumuz regions which they alleges is masterminded and geared by the ruling TPLF party.

The participants in the demonstration were different organizations, political parties, supporting organs, civic organizations, religious groups and independent individuals reflecting Ethiopians unity and colorfulness!




The demonstrators have also meet the representative of the Norwegian parliament –Stortinget, and delivered their appeal.

Organizers of the rally on the other hand urged the government to release Eskinder Nega, Reeyot Alemu, Woubshet Taye and thousands of other Ethiopian prisoners of conscious immediately and unconditionally. They say, they went to the street to express their outrage over TPLF’s regime unconstitutional policy of evicting hardworking Ethiopians and their families from various parts of the country.

The protesters also urged the government to release all leaders and followers of their Ethiopian Muslim compatriots and to stop its interference in religious matters.
government and the European Union to pressure on TPLF regime to respect its citizens’ rights enshrined in the constitution. The demonstrators say they will continue their solidarity with the on-going struggle at home and abroad against the dictatorial regime until the regime transferred its power to the government elected by the people.


Justice for the oppressed!
