Kinijit top leaders who arrived in Washington DC on Sunday for a working visit to the U.S. rolled their sleeves and got to work the very afternoon of their arrival despite the jet-lag from the long flight.
On Tuesday, Kinijit leaders met with Congressman Payne and discussed issues that are crucial to the democratization process in Ethiopia. The delegation expressed heartfelt appreciation for the continued support Congressman Payne and several others of his colleagues are rendering to champion the cause of democracy, human right and stability in Ethiopia.
The delegation also thanked Congressman Payne for the role he played in securing the release of political prisoners, including the five delegation members currently visiting the U.S.
The delegation is also meeting with representatives of Kinijit chapters and receiving reports on their activities.
