Ethiopians stage protest at China embassy in DC – Live report

12:02 PM – The protest rally by Ethiopians at the Chinese embassy in Washington DC has now moved to the Woyanne-occupied Ethiopian embassy. By totally decimating the peaceful opposition parties in Ethiopia — with financial backing from the World Bank and technical assistance from China — Meles and gang may have thought that they have demoralized and killed the fighting spirit of  Ethiopians. From the large demonstration we have seen today, Ethiopians are regrouping and ready to fight stronger and more aggressively than ever with new strategies, tools, and leadership.

11:20 AM – The protest rally at the Chinese embassy is now winding down. The protesters are preparing to march to the Woyanne occupied Ethiopian embassy that is nearby.
