Taxi Drivers on Strike in Addis may instigate the General Public

 Taxi drivers' strike in Addis Ababa has continued its second day of strike boycotting services to the public in complaints of the ever souring oil price. The government never mentions the news in its broadcasts according to the local Newspaper "Addis Neger." It is to be recalled that Taxi drivers played a pioneering role in the collapse of the Haile Selassie I Government in 1974. According to the news not all taxi drivers have participated in the strike but the attempt to strike in a country of immense dictatorship is encouraging and may instigate the public for a general strike. What are the opposition parties doing in encouraging the strikers is not yet known. Dewol believes that the Diaspora should support the Taxi drivers on strike financially. It looks like it is possible to approach the strikers as they are identified through their associations. To read the story direct from the source click on the link below.
