The Sene (June) Massacre of Addis Ababa, 2005
THE NEW TERROR
Peaceful Student Protests at Addis Ababa University on June 6th, 2005 were forcibly put down by Security forces of the EPRDF Government of Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. The Students were protesting the conduct of the counting and certification of election results by the National Election Board of Ethiopia. As students were beaten and taken away in trucks from the main University Campus at Sidist Kilo, the Sciences Campus at Arat Kilo, and the Kotebe Teachers College in the city outskirts, passers-by and parents tried to plead with the security forces and then tried to peacefully block them. They were beaten and arrested. Opposition leaders were placed under surveilance and under house arrest. By the next day, an angry population reacted with closure of shops, and a Taxi strike. The unrest spread to other campuses across the city and the rest of Ethiopia. Soon the Federal and City Police were replaced on the streets with the red beret wearing special "Agazi" division of the Army from Tigrai region. A massacre ensued in which at the last count 26 people were shot and killed, and hundreds were seriously wounded. The targets were not limited to University students, but also Highschool pupils and innocent observers of the events. Witness the horrors of the "New Terror".

Your Excellency, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, How do you sleep at night? Perhaps you are able because you live in Mengistu's house. Perhaps it is because you sleep in Mengistu's room. Perhaps it is because you sit in Mengistu's chair. Perhaps it is because you remember his "Red Terror" that you can unleash your "New Terror". History will remember you for every drop of blood spilled. God will Judge you for every tear that you have caused. You will never wash the blood from your hands. You are the shame of your fathers and mothers. You are the terror of your brothers and sisters. You are the embarrasment of your decendants. God rest the souls of those who have died. God comfort the hearts of their loved ones. God protect those who are captive. God deliver us from evil. Ethiopia
Correction agame prostitution
Prostitution in Ethiopia is legal,[1] and widespread.[2] Procuring (operating brothels, benefiting from prostitution, etc.) is illegal according to Article 634 of the Ethiopian Penal Code, as revised May 2005,[3] however these laws are rarely enforced.[1] Some feel it has contributed to the increased incidence of AIDS.[4] UNAIDS estimate there are over 19,000 prostitutes in the major cities.[5]
Ethiopia has become a magnet for sex tourism,[6][7][8][9] including child sex tourism.[10]
In 2015, Ethiopian scriptwriter and film director, Hermon Hailay, directed the film Price of Love, which was inspired by her experiences growing up close to prostitutes.[2]
Sex trafficking
See also: Human trafficking in Ethiopia
Ethiopia is a source and, to a lesser extent, destination and transit country for women and children subjected to sex trafficking. Saudi Arabia remains the primary destination for irregular migrants; reportedly, over 400,000 Ethiopians reside there. Saudi officials regularly deport Ethiopians in large numbers, and many of the deportees reported instances of sexual exploitation. Ethiopian women who migrate for work or flee abusive employers in the Middle East are also vulnerable to sex trafficking. An international organization assesses that most traffickers are small local operators, often from the victims’ own communities, but that well-organized crime groups are also responsible for irregular migrants becoming highly susceptible to trafficking. Labor recruiters target young people from Ethiopia's vast rural areas with promises of a better life. Although reports remain anecdotal, the severe drought in 2015-2016 may have resulted in an increase in internal trafficking. Girls from Ethiopia's impoverished rural areas are exploited in commercial sex within the country. Addis Ababa’s central market is the site of numerous brothels, where some young girls are exploited in commercial sex. Ethiopian girls are exploited in commercial sex in neighbouring African countries, particularly Sudan. Child sex tourism continues to be a problem in major hubs, including Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, Hawassa, and Bishoftu; reports identify mostly Ethiopian-born perpetrators, including members of the diaspora, with known links to local hotels, brokers, and taxi drivers.[10]
In 2016, federal and regional justice officials investigated 1,392 potential trafficking cases and convicted 640 traffickers under the 2015 anti-trafficking law, a significant increase from 69 convictions in 2015.[10]
The United States Department of State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons ranks Ethiopia as a 'Tier 2' country.[10]
