Oromo regional state president Lemma Megersa visited today victims of grenade attack, at Tirku Anbessa Hospital, during a rally organized to show support to prime minister Abiy Ahmed’s administration on June 23,2018.
“What happened to our compatriots is saddening and heart rending” said Lemma Megersa. He added, “It is hard to imagine a sane man would carry out such an attack on innocent civilians who were peacefully demonstrating.”
Yet, he emphasized that it always take sacrifice to bring about change and the victims will always be remembered for their scarifies. Lemma Megersa, arguably one of the most popular politician in the country, vowed that Ethiopians will carry on working for change in unity now and in the future.
