Political situation is "tense but calm" after a total disturbance in Addis Ababa the capital city of Ethiopia, media sources indicate in this month reports.
Reports are saying the Ethiopian government is not up to its obligations towards democracy, while riots irrupted, students and other citizens killed, the government security conducted several arrests, and the Ethiopian Prime Minster attacked the EU in his speech.
PM Meles Zenawi condemned the International pressures to release the detainees and said his government will not bow to any pressure. He announced that only those who were not involved in the disturbances would be released, and the others will be treated according the law and order.
The United States and European Union urged the Ethiopian government to end its crackdown on opposition leaders, thousands of whom were arrested during bloody clashes between demonstrators and police in Addis Ababa. These clashes left at least 46 people dead.
The EU and US issued a 10 demands statement including a review of parliamentary rules that are restricting the democratic procedures in the Parliament, lifting restrictions on opposition leaders, freeing all political detainees, releasing the names of people in detention and reopening private media.
