Protests

On 7 March 2019, Thousands of angry citizens took to the streets to protest in several cities and towns across the Oromia state such as Jimma, Ambo, Awaday, Bale Robe and Adama after Addis Ababa city administration allocated thousands condominium buildings located in Koye Fache to bidders.[2]

Addis AbAba city administration is acting outside of its jurisdiction and without involving Oromia regional government. Many are carrying banners reading “our land is our bones,” “Koye Feche is in Oromia”, and “No to the master plan”.

Oromia government opposed transferring houses that built within Oromia boundary. Several activists insisted that the housing units should be allotted to the uprooting local farmers where this view was also emphasised by the state government and its ruling party.[4]
