well the 2300000 people of saddam or average registered for the refrain them are looking to exercise their constitutional right they say that they have a right to demand for autonomy and they have a right to that so they're hoping that they'll get autonomy they'll be an independent regional state and with that they'll be able to manage their own local resources because they have been saying that they're part of a very big south a nation's initially to region and and of that they have to really struggle to get resources with the other people so they hope that with that independence they'll be able to fend for themselves if i may use that word and be able to express themselves as an ethnic group in the right way ok but some are warning that this could destabilize the country we've already seen violence in the run up to this vote on wednesday what's to be said of that well if you. after speaking to the people of saddam a 0 times they've said they did not want violence all that want to do is do this peacefully but at the end of the day we are seeing a situation whereby if the managed to

as the saddam ethnic group has been fighting for self rule for decades and the minutes to get to him i'm ready to fight and i'm very happy i hope that everything will be finalized in peace so that we can all live together in harmony better london in. ethiopia is home to more than 80 ethnic groups more than half of which are found in the south of the country only a few of them have their own administrative region as the country's 5th most numerous at group the saddam as want to create their own semi autonomous state and right and trained in the current constitution with the referendum approaching excitement is growing among the saddam activists. just as it's a very happy time now for us we were oppressed and because of this we lost our identity our culture and our own administration so now the saddam's are fighting to regain their lost autonomy. the path to autonomy was beset with episodes of violence from different ethnic groups last july dozens were killed in protests many saddam activists were arrested some are still in jail under pressure the government of abu ahmed decided to gra

after speaking to the people of saddam a 0 times they've said they did not want violence all that want to do is do this peacefully but at the end of the day we are seeing a situation whereby if the managed to get their friend and get it right then we have about 10 out of cutting ethnic groups within that same region who have been talking about autonomy so it might open up i mean a box of demands from other regional government i mean from other groups that would want to bring out autonomy how that will be easy for the government is also another question and probably from that we might see some friction between the government and the other the other ethnic groups in the government says it doesn't have money because your friend takes money or it is the government asks them to wait and all this is happening before elections in so anything small might really trigger something really really tragic or ok i mean there is of course the factor that prime minister may have granted at this referendum so to say is this can we call this is a symptomatic of the new way or the new style of governing b
