Ethiopians living in the metropolitan Washington, DC area held a
demonstration at the US State Department on Tuesday denouncing the human
rights violations perpetrated by the tyrannical regime in their country
against the people of Surma in South Ethiopia as well as the human
rights abuses at various locations in the country.
The demonstrators also demanded the US government to show unwavering
stance against the human rights abuses perpetrated by its ally in
Ethiopia.
An international uproar ensued last week after a picture of Surma men
in a chain gang, loaded on a police pickup, surfaced on the social
media. They were apparently held by the regime’s forces for protesting
the seizure of their land by the government for sugar plantations.
The Ethiopians demanded the regime in their country to immediately
desist the wide range of human rights violations in Oromia, Wolkait in
Amahra and Gambella regions and other corners of the country. The
demonstrators hold the oppressive regime in Ethiopia responsible for the
death of hundreds of people in the Oromia region of Ethiopia in the
last four months protests.
The organizers of the demonstration have submitted to the US State
Department a paper detailing the various human rights violations in
Ethiopia.
Tuesday’s demonstration was organized by the Washington DC Joint Task Force, civic, political and religious organizations.
