One thought on “Panel discussion on genocide report – Washington DC”

  1. Hellow Friends,

    Today in modern time is suffering from genocide, murder and crimes against humanity. But No one from the diaspora Ethiopians who is eager to discuss this disasterous senario.Ethiopians enjoy only writing articles but not practicing.
    Ethiopians need to fight in all aspects like others,like people in the middlen east or asia for their freedom

    The woyanes will never leave Ethiopia in peace. Ethiopians should wage war against the woyane enemy.

    Thank you.
