And in response? Full scale militarisation.. like if a leader can't even sit and discuss issues relating to most basic questions of livelihood when they are raised by people, but must resort to escalating violence.. it's actually just deeply disturbing.

of poverty and state violence. Being forced to live off of wages that are morsels in the face of a cost of living crisis whilst the state only continues to enrich itself is state violence- the only thing this movement asks is the state do its job

I'm so exhausted by the constant militarisation against ppl in ETH & Africa every time they decide to say or do anything. even whilst knowing well the risks ppl know they must protests bc the risk of facing the state in protest is still outweighed by that of dying at the hands

@ehpmeth Ethiopia Health Professional Movement acc on Twitter:

Full list of 78 health workers arrested by the ETH state amidst the partial strike. Important to note that there has been no response by the regime to the petition listing the demands of the movement- signed by 17,000 health workers, countrywide.

17,000 health workers have signed the statement expressing the 12 demands, these health workers represent all regions of the country. Moving to a full strike is a tectonic step forward and it's the state and state alone that is liable for the consequences of a full strike

"Regrettably, they have refused to even acknowledge our plight, let alone provide tangible solutions to the dire challenges we face— starvation wages, unaffordable living costs, and the inability to provide for our families, secure housing, or even clothe ourselves with dignity."

"In an effort to minimize disruption to the public, we initiated a *partial strike* over the past three days, giving the authorities yet another opportunity to engage with our demands. "

Part of the statement made by the Ethio Health Forum yday as the movement moves from a partial, to full strike, which will result in "complete suspension of all medical services, including those in ICUs, Emergency Rooms, and Maternity Wards, is now under serious consideration."
