The confrontation between students and security forces is getting violent by the day, after the government reportedly favored to pursue force rather than dialogue and settlement on the issues of freedom, rule of law, self determination and the issue of Finfinne raised by students in Adama University. Similar incidents are being reported in Haromaya, Addis Ababa and other Universities.

According to sources; Adama University is rounded up by military brigade and basic service within and around the University are shut down. The protest which started to be visible in two groups both by these students hold up in the university campus and by those who are in the Adama city comes with price to pay.

Even if the protest is still continuing, the peaceful demonstrators and their dormitory are being raided and until this report is compiled more than 50 students has been arrested which includes

The Adama University Students have also voiced their support for the questions raised by Addis Ababa and Haromaya University Students. The situation in the campus is still violent and unstable due to the military force interference. Finally the students have asked the public to stand behind the popular cause they are raising and to protest against the use of force against peaceful demonstration.

The Struggle shall continue!!!
