Teachers Launch Successful Sit-in in Makalla
Teachers and representatives of opposition parties in Makalla held a sit-in on Tuesday to draw attention to teachers situation. Reportedly some teachers in the district have been transfered to distant positions in retribution for their legal political activities which are said to be encouraged in a democracy. Some teachers have refused to go to the far off assignments, saying the order itself is illegal. The teachers have had little support from the local council, their parliamentary representative, national and union .
Its amazing how brave and determined some people are in the peaceful fight for their legitimate rights. They are modern day heros and give hope to the world.
