Ask Congress to Denounce Secretary Blinken’s Inflammatory Comments about
Ethiopia’s Constitution and Internal Borders

Dear Ethiopian-Americans,
We need your help to let Congress know that Amharas have the right to life and liberty in Welkait, Humera, Tegede, Telemet, and Raya!
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has repeatedly made offensive statements that imply these areas should be controlled by the TPLF again. While Secretary Blinken always condemns alleged atrocities by Amhara regional forces and militias, he has not once mentioned the history of ethnic cleansing and violent persecution by the TPLF against Amharas there - not even a statement about Mai Kadra!
Congress needs to hear from the diaspora about how harmful these comments are to Amharas and interethnic relations in Ethiopia.
The goal is for Members of Congress to issue their own statements supporting an historically-informed and perspective on Wolkait and Raya. Congress must also push for transitional justice for all Ethiopians - Amharas, Tigrayans, or otherwise - by supporting an end to ethnic federalism.
