also in addis ababa is dessalegn chanie, senior member of the national movement of amhara, the main opposition in the ethiopian parliament. a warm welcome to all of you. thank you very much to be an inside story today. dessalegn, if i can begin with you, can you just explain how large these protests have come, and i guess the anger that has filled them up to this point? guest: thank you very much for having me. the protests were very large and they and come past almost every corner of the amhara region. people are demanding the federal government reversed the decision to dismantle the amhara special forces, because currently, the amhara region is faced with a lot of security threats. especially from the grand people's liberation front because over the past few years, there were three rounds of aggressions conducted by the tigrayan people's liberation front on the amhara and afar region. so unless the tplf is disarmed and its soldiers are demobilized, it creates a security risk and a security threat for the him her region. that is what our people are opposing the decision to dismantle it. becau
