The recently released leaders of CUDP, the main opposition party in Ethiopia, are continuing with their tour of major US cities to meet with and express their thanks to supporters as well as human rights protectors for their unwavering support and protest against their unjust incarceration. CUDP delegate members were imprisoned for almost two years following the May 2005 general election charged of genocide before their release from prison this summer. They were also sentenced, by the ruling Party’s kangaroo court, to life imprisonment .
The high-powered delegation has already held very successful town hall meetings in Washington, DC, Boston, Oakland, Dallas, Las Vegas, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. A CUDP delegation headed by the Vice Chairperson, Judge Bertukan Mideksa will arrive in Minneapolis on Oct. 19, 2007. A colorful welcome ceremony will be stage at the MSP International Airport at 3:30 PM.
The esteemed delegation will hold a briefing to the Ethiopian community in Twin Cities on Saturday, October 20, 2007, at 5:00 PM under the theme of “Democracy and Ethiopia.” The event will take place at First Christian Church 2201 1st Ave M PLS, MN 55404. Kinijit Minnesota Support Group and the Ethiopian Diaspora in Minnesota are working hard to help bring about democratic changes and the rule of law in Ethiopia through peaceful and non-violent ways. We are, however, concerned by the many hurdles the ruling party is raising against kinijit, and alarmed by the rapidly deteriorating political situation in Ethiopia.
The upcoming welcoming event is is organized jointly by Kinijit Minnesota Support Group for Democracy & Development Association (KMSG) and Kinijit North America Association of Support Organizations (KNAASO). We invite Ethiopians in Twin Cities to come out in force, meet, and greet Ethiopia’s modern heroes.
For more information about the program, please visit the Kinijit Minnesota Support Group web site.
