Ethiopian Reporter : "Hailu Shawel, chairman of the former Coalition for Unity and Democracy (CUD), this Tuesday wrote a letter to the party's Supreme Council in which he suspended five leadership members. He accused them, among other things, of engaging in divisive acts which he said weakened the country, the party and the struggle in the democratization process and added that they would remain suspended until a final decision is given on the accusations leveled against them following an investigation by a committee comprising of impartial members of the Supreme Council.
The five leadership members whom Hailu suspended include Birtukan Mideksa, Berhanu Nega, Gizachew Shiferaw, Hailu Araya and Biruck Debebe [Kebede]."
