Ethiopians flock to Washington to welcome their beloved leaders

Kinijit supporters from several cities in the United States are on their way to Washington DC to welcome Kinijit
Vice President Bertukan Mideksa and her delegation when they arrive Sunday morning.

One of those who is heading to DC is Ato Cheru Terefe, leading the Atlanta Kinijit chapter supporters. Ethiopian Review has reached him on the phone this morning as he and his colleagues were driving through North Carolina on I-85. Ato Cheru and friends are traveling to DC all the way from Atlanta to say thank you to the Kinijit leaders for the sacrifices they made to help bring a positive change in Ethiopia.

Ato Ashebir and friends from Boston’s Abugida TV and Kinijit Chapter are also on the way to Washington DC. They are excited to meet and welcome Wzt. Bertukan and her heroic friends at the Dulles Airport in Washington DC on Sunday morning.

Ato Tamagne Beyene, one of the coordinators of the welcoming ceremony told Ethiopian Review today that the Kinijit leaders will be greeted by hundreds, may be thousands of Ethiopians at the airport. As the legitimately elected leaders of Ethiopia, Wzt. Bertukan and her delegation will be treated and welcomed with all the ceremony and protocol that are accorded to national leaders.

The coordinating team will provide transportation to those who do not want to drive to the airport. Those who wish to volunteer or get a ride are asked to call Berhan at 202 299 7625.
