The opposition tour has sparked interest among the Diaspora since it is taking place in post-Meles Ethiopia. Meles Zenawi died on August 20, after 21 years of an iron-hand rule. Hailemariam Desalegn has replaced the deceased as prime minister, and many Ethiopians believe the oppostion may get a new lease on life after it has been brutalized time and again by the previous regime.
Will Medrek spring back to action and inspire the hopes and aspiration of the Ethiopian people is one of the many questions those who will attend Sunday’s meeting in Atlanta are very likely to ask.
The townhall meeting takes place at Jade Events, 2201 Lawrenceville, Hwy Decatur, GA 30033 beginning 3:00 PM on Sunday September 23.
