PAFD VISION AND MISSION STATEMENT PAFD VISION: The Alliance intends to transform the current Empire State of Ethiopia into free, democratic communities of nations who coexist peacefully, in freely chosen systems of governance either in a single federal system or allied independent states. PAFD MISSION: PAFD will change the political landscape in Ethiopia by dismantling the traditional colonial and tyrannical system of government where an Ethnic clique uses or usurps the powers of the state and oppresses the rest of the peoples in the name of the state. PAFD will then create a Transitional Federal Arrangement based on democracy, the rights of self‐ determination of peoples and respects of human rights in a manner that addresses the grievances of all the nations in Ethiopia by instituting a genuinely representative political order. This new political order will conduct free and fair referendum at the end of the transitional period for all peoples in the states of the transitional arrangement for the formation of federal or confederal states of Ethiopia or creation of their own independent state. For those who choose to be part of a federal or confederal Ethiopia, PAFD will institute a federal or confederal system that is just, and democratic, where all human and democratic rights are fully respected; and the full autonomy of the constitutive states fully implemented. For those who choose to set up their own state, PAFD will help to establish a positive, friendly relationship with each other based on mutual respect, cooperation and common market.
