Sidama struggle veteran dies
The Sidama Concern - November 25, 2007

Woldeamanuel Dubale Hankarso died on Tuesday, 20 November 2007. Mr Hankarso was active in the struggle for the rights of Sidama people for self-determination, and he led the movement for liberation in the early 1980s. He lived in exile for decades, first in Somalia and later, during the TPLF regime, in the UK where he died.
