Ethiopian Review has learned that the two individuals who had been found hidden inside the storage compartment of an Ethiopian Airlines (EAL) jet at Dulles Airport in Virginia are members of the Oromo National Congress. According to ER sources, Ato Ashenafi Bekele and Ato Fikru were hired by EAL as cleaning workers recently. Both of them are high school graduates. They used such a desperate means to escape persecution after several of their friends were arrested recently by the Woyanne regime suspected of being members of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF). ER is trying to contact the two individuals and find out the status of their case with the U.S. authorities.
