Looking back, perhaps from the December uprising and the student movement, the political demands of our people were mainly reflected in street violence, both by weapons. We have seen that both roads are very backward and destructive. Our country, Ethiopia, has lost a large number of students and scholars who have been educated by the poor. The infrastructure that has been built over the years has been reduced to dust. Even so, the questions of the ages have not been properly answered.
