The Somali Democratic Party (ESPDP; Amharic: የሶማሌ ዴሞክራሲዊ ፓርቲ) is a political party in Ethiopia, created by the current ruling Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) after brutally refusing Somali's demands for self-determination in 1993, EPRDF created a surrogate party called the Ethiopian Somali Democratic League which is one of many satellite organisations existing throughout Ethiopia.[1]
The organisation is currently led by Ahmed Shide.[2] [3] and Mohamed Rashid Isak.
History
Like the ESDL before it, the Somali People's Democratic Party is considered by many inhabitants of the Somali Region to be an "EPRDF puppet", who accuse its members "of brutal repression and systematic massacres in ensuring the region stays under firm control".[4]
The party observed the eleventh anniversary of its founding in Filtu, where numerous improvements to the infrastructure of the Liben Zone were announced.[5]
