The biggest lesson that we learnt is that protests do work. Thanks to the demonstrations, Meles is no more the "progressive leader" that the international community comes to know. The western media see a different Meles than what they thought for the last many years. Meles is grilled by every journalist every where he goes. More offices and states would have the courage and reason to disentangle themselves from "diplomatic correctness" and call "spade a spade", like Anna Gomez did, finaly he will be disgraced to use the back door as mamo puts it above. I call every capable person to attend this rally. Looking at what the G/S's are advocating here, I wouldn't be surprised to find them there to counter the protests, making it even more important to come in droves.
