The Kinijit train gathering momentum

The excitement surrounding the Kinijit leaders USA tour is growing. It is spreading and engulfing Ethiopian communities through out North America. It started in Washington DC. It spread to Boston, and to Upstate New York. Now it is in the San Francisco Bay Area as seen Thursday at Oakland Airport.

Saturday, Sept. 29, Kinijit leaders will attend a public meeting and fund raising event in Oakland. Like the one in Washington DC and Boston, it is expected to be the biggest and most exciting Ethiopian political gathering in the SF Bay Area.

Sunday, there is another one — in Dallas, Texas.

Early Sunday morning, the Kinijit leaders will fly to Dallas, Texas. They will arrive at 11:30 AM. Kinijit Dallas representative Dr Aziz Hassan is urging Ethiopians in the Dallas area to come to Dallas-Forth Worth (DF) Airport [see map], Terminal A, at 11:00 AM to welcome the leaders.

Dr Aziz told Ethiopian Review that Kinijit Dallas has invited Ethiopians from neighboring cities and states, including Oklahoma. Artist Abebe Belew will join the delegates in Dallas as the master of ceremony (MC), Ato Aziz said.

Ato Dejene Assaye, Kinijit Dallas-Fort Worth chairman, told Ethiopian Review that Kinijit supporters in the Dallas area are excited and eagerly awaiting the arrival of their leaders. On Sunday, DF Airport will look like Meskel Square during Timket.
