Addis Ababa, May 27,2011 - The twentieth anniversary of May 28 will be colorfully celebrated across the country, Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) said. Redwan Hussien, head of EPRDF secretariat and member of the executive committee, told journalists yesterday that nations, nationalities and peoples of Ethiopia will colorfully mark May 28 as it is the base for the economic, social and political developments registered in the past two decades.
“It is a day in which all Ethiopians, led by EPRDF, got rid of the brutal and murderess regime of Derg,” he said. “It is a day where democracy, justice and freedom were introduced for the first time to Ethiopia”.
The system of democratic federalism introduced ensured the equality of all nations, nationalities and peoples of Ethiopia, Redwan said.
“It [the day] has opened the door for us to fight poverty, hunger, war, backwardness and illiteracy,” Redwan added.
He said that the day will be unique as it will be marked while the country is implementing the five year Growth and Transformation Plan, which include the construction of the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on Nile River.
Reassuring the people, Redwan expressed EPRDF’s commitment to continuously tackle the artificial price inflation and supply gaps in the market play.
The people of Ethiopian annually commemorate May 28 (Ginbot 20) - a day when the 17-year dictatorial rule of the Derg regime came to an end after long years of struggle.
