Hundreds of Ethiopians have participated in a rally today in front of the United States Congress to urge members of Congress to pass H.R. 2003.
The rally was organized by the Washington DC Millennium Celebrations Committee.
Kinijit leaders Dr Hailu Araya and Ato Gizachew Shiferraw, U.S. Congressman Mike Honda, and representatives of several Ethiopian civic and political groups were among the speakers.
The speech by a representative of the Ogaden Ethiopian community was the highlight of the rally. (We will post Ato Guled’s speech as soon as we get it).

The peaceful struggle must continue to the end. We are in the locked island of freedom. At this especial event on the eve of the Ethiopian millennium, Police arrested a team who recently organized a ceremony here Addis Ababa, about 5 individuals in honor of opposition leader Bertukan Mideksa. How far our voice is remains an echo?
God Bless Ethiopia and its people.
