Sidama Liberation Movement leaders arrived at Bole international Airport in Addis Ababa early morning today where they were greeted by Professor Afework Kasu, Deputy Minister in the ministry of Foreign Affairs. They are returning home after decades in exile.
The leaders are returned home in response, they say, to the call by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government for all armed opposition parties to return home and struggle peacefully from within the country.
Demboba Kiyanate is public relation head of Sidamo Liberation Movement, and he is cited by Fana Broadcasting Corporation as saying that they returned to Ethiopia “for peaceful struggle, in response to government’s call for a peaceful struggle.”
The leaders of the movement were based in the United Kingdom and the United States, the report added.
