Washington Update: Ethiopian Diaspora Uniting for Democracy

New Date for Constitutional Conference

Washington, DC – Members of Ethiopian-American concerned civic organizations will hold a meeting on October 23, from 9 a.m. to noon, in the Kennedy Caucus Room, Senate Russell office building, to complete work on proposed draft constitutions. We thank Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) for his assistance in securing the room and for his support.

The conference will discuss the urgent need to address the root cause of Ethiopia’s misery: a constitution based on divide-and-rule ethnic federalism that fuels ethnic conflicts that threaten to tear Ethiopia apart. The meeting will be a forum to debate draft constitutions that address the root causes of Ethiopia’s most serious problems. To secure democracy, human rights, and economic prosperity, Ethiopia needs a new constitution that places power in the hands of its people.

All Ethiopians are invited to attend and participate. A registration link will be sent by mid-October.
