A crowd of Ethiopian demonstrators gathered
to oppose the visit of President Teshome Wagaw of Ethiopia here in Los Angeles,
angrily vowed to fight the injustice being committed by the Tigray Liberation
Front led Government of Ethiopia, saying it is intimidating, imprisoning, and
killing political opponents in pretext of terrorism. They say the Ethiopian
Government itself is a “State Terrorist.”
The demonstration took place in front of the renowned
Intercontinental Hotel, Avenue of the Stars Boulevard, Los Angeles California
where the President accommodates during his visit here. Highly disciplined Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers who recognize the good mannered Ethiopians tranquilly observed the crowd but surely ready to interfere in case of
confrontation which had happened for a brief period when one of the TPLF thugs
snatched a demonstrator’s cellphone and tried to sneak into the hotel. The
crowed angrily fall on the thug ready to cut him into pieces but soon
intercepted by the LAPD. 
It is recalled that only some weeks ago the Government had
hijacked Andargachew Tsige, a vocal activist and Secretary General of the
opposition party Ginbot 7. Ginbot
7 practices an all-inclusive struggle for justice and democracy in Ethiopia
that includes arm struggle. The Ethiopian Government Terrorism law consider arm
struggle as “Terrorism but has no limit for the act of terrorism. Ethiopian Officials also interpret Journalism as
“Terrorism.” Many Journalists including winner of multiple international awards
for humanitarian journalism works, Iskinder Nega has been convicted of terrorism
and sentenced to nearly twenty years. He is now languishing in the notoriously nasty
jail of Addis Ababa.
Concerning
Andargachew Tsigie, in an interview with a BBC reporter, Haile Mariam Desalegn,
Prime Minister (without rights because he has no decision making rights) of
Ethiopia had declared his victim was a wanted criminal sentenced to death in
absentia. “He will face the consequence” he said affirming that Andargachew
will be killed soon regardless of his British citizenship.
The crowd in the demonstration shouted that Haile Mariam was impotent
of power and hence a “Condom” for the power infatuated TPLF thugs behind the
screen. They also appealed to the International Community not to fund “terrorism”
at home. The crowd said the money donated to Ethiopia for the purpose of
assisting the poor is being used for suppression, intimidation and killings of
the poor itself. Hence, the Ethiopian Government has to be annihilated and
condemned according to the shouting crowd that was vigorous and desperately
annoyed!
The international community, particularly China and the United
States are not interested in human rights in Ethiopia but in the advantage the
tyrant government provides their nations. They just turn deaf ear to the appeal
of suppressed Ethiopians as long as their tyrant partner in Ethiopia executes
their orders. Only a couple of weeks ago Secretary of State John Kerry had
visited Ethiopia most likely to order Ethiopia contribute security forces to
South Sudan. Immediately after his departure, the Chinese Premier had to
replace him in Addis Ababa offering the TPLF thugs hundreds of millions of
dollars a large part of which is normally used to suppress human rights in the
country.
