According to article 30, in the Ethiopian constitution, every citizen have the right to protest peacefully.Now the regime will plan every anti- government protest. The protests will be located at places like Jan Meda, wich is one of the biggest open spaces, and Burayu, which is a marketplace. What do these places have in common? No audience,and it becomes very easy for the police to control the masses which mean that it will be far more difficult to document what happends there.

the mayor of addis ababa says we will revise every idea about the peaceful protest written in the constitution.
