The only pro-democracy Opposition Coalition Party in Ethiopia, Medrek, held a rare rally in Finfinne (Addis Ababa) on Dec. 14, 2014. Here are a few photos gathered from around the social media reporting on the rally. According to the reports, thousands of rally goers chanted slogans in Afan Oromo, English and Amharic languages demanding the TPLF-led Ethiopian regime free Oromo political prisoners, journalists and other political prisoners. Some of the slogans included: “Free Bekele Gerba!” – “Free Oromo Students!” – “Stop Land-Grabbing” – and “Free Journalists!”

At the rally, senior leaders of Medrek gave rousing speeches; speakers included: Dr. Merera Gudina ‪#‎Dr_Beyene_Petros‬ (the Coalition’s President), ‪#‎Mr_Bulcha_Demeksa‬ (Chairman Emeritus of the Oromo Federalist Congress/OFC – one of the political organizations in the pro-democracy Medrek), Mr. Tilahun Endeshaw of the Ethiopian Social Democratic Federal Party/ESDFP, and ‪#‎Mr_Desta_Dinka‬ (Leader of the Medrek Youth League).
