Press Release:
Semayawi (Blue) Party is one of the foremost pro-democracy political parties in Ethiopia that is conducting a non-violent struggle to establish a democratic system of government in a country that has been ruled with an iron fist by a totalitarian regime for the past 25 years. The party’s main principle of non-violent struggle to democratize Ethiopia enjoys broad public support. It is to be remembered that after the regime illegally banned the once strong Andenet Party, most of its members joined Semayawi Party in order to continue their struggle. Following their footsteps and recognizing the need for unified support, Andenet and Semayawi Support Groups have been fundraising in support of Semayawi Party during its campaign for election. In addition to this collaboration, the groups have been working towards merger. Today, we gladly announce that Semayawi Support North America and Andenet DC Metro Support Chapter have finalized the process and completed the merger. The new unified support group will operate under the name Semayawi Andnet (Semayawi) Support North America (SASNA). Semayawi Andnet (Semayawi) Support North America (SASNA) mission is to provide all rounded support to Semayawi Party; to provide a forum for Semayawi supporters and other like-minded individuals in North America to get involved in the struggle; to disseminate research articles and/or materials and information which have relevant bearings on Ethiopia, Semayawi supporters, and the Ethiopian Diaspora in North America. As the repression level of the TPLF/EPRDF regime continues, the need for more intensified struggle for freedom becomes necessary; and for these efforts to succeed, the support of Ethiopians in the diaspora will continue to play a vital role. It is our belief that SASNA will serve as an instrument in supporting the effort of non-violent opposition political parties in promoting democracy, human rights, free press, good governance, free market, and national unity.
