The Kinijit Washington DC Metropolitan Area chapter issued a statement explaining why it is boycotting the public meeting with Ato Hailu Shawel, which is organized by the Shaleqa-EPRP alliance called the KIC (keysi). Click here to read.
Several independent Ethiopian groups have also come together to organize a protest rally in front of the hotel where the meeting will take place on Sunday. The protest rally’s objectives are:
1) To respectfully express disappointment at what Ato Hailu Shawel is doing — his recent dictatorial actions.
2) To demand that Shaleqa Yoseph Yazew & Co. return the Kinijit funds that they diverted to their personal accounts.
3) To ask Dr Taye Woldesemayat and EPRP to stop trying to divide Kinijit.
The protest rally will start at 1:30 PM in front of the Renaissance Hotel, 999 9th Street, Washington DC.
