‘Unconditionally Stop Impoverishing & Brutalising Your Own People’ the Sidama nation advises the Cadres. Moderator, Sidama National Regional State Information Network March 16, 2014 The Sidama nation, as others oppressed nations and nationalities of Ethiopian Empire has endured insufferable injustice imposed on it by colonisers’ during the entire colonial occupation of the last 130 years. Following the conquest, the nation’s ways of life and egalitarian systems were disrupted & obliterated to be replaced with alien and barbaric systems brought by the later. The Abyssinian King Menelik’s army was able to forcefully conquer the Sidama land crushing Sidama’s freedom fighters, simply because of the superiority of its’ European modern weaponry. Ever since, the Sidama nation is obliged to remain subservient to the successive rulers’ unjustifiable systems. Therefore, the assimilating power of the conquerors’ during these periods can’t be underemphasised. As recent far as the downfall of Emperor Hailessilassie’s brutal regime in February 1974 (GC), the Sidama nation didn’t have nominal representation albeit official representation was virtually unthinkable. And during emperor Hailesilassie’s feudal era, the Sidama nation was kept under slavery, therefore, Schooling their children was impossible. A very few schools opened in Sidama’s the then province such as Yirgalem and Wolyta Sodo secondary schools were mainly and on some occasions exclusively reserved for the children of colonial settlers (Nefitegnas). This was only drastically changed during the Derg regime (post February 1974 GC) when the Sidama children, like the others oppressed nations’ were able to attend schools, go to colleges and Universities. After their graduation however key employment areas where national decisions are being made remain remote for the sons and daughters of Sidama nation as is the case today.
