We also call upon federal army and security forces to stop the killing of civilians and unite with people to fight the undemocratic and brutal regime in power.

We call upon all stakeholders, political organisations, civic organisations, including academics, religious groups to unconditionally unite at this critical time to rescue the people in Ethiopian from calamity awaiting to unfold.

We call upon all the international community, politicians of Western countries, human rights organisations and the entire international community to stand with the people in Ethiopia whilst striding towards freeing of all peoples from TPLF/EPRDF’s state-terrorism!
