Legetafo Legedadi’s tragic history repeats in Sululta


Sululta City Administration has publicly announced that it will proceed to tear down houses marked down for demolition. Even though the mayor had previously disputed the news, today’s statement clearly showed the administration not-so-secret intention. According to Mayor Roza Umer, the city administration is abiding by regulations and has discussed and agreed upon the demolition with the residents. The administration decided to knock down the houses after warning responsible against any illegal actions. One can’t help but realize this scenario’s similarity with Legetafo Legedadi house demolitions that led to thousands of displacement. As Karl Marx has said, “ History repeats itself. First as a tragedy, second as farce.”.
