EPPF is currently reorganizing itself around the world under the leadership of its International Committee. According to Ato Leul Qeskis, the Committee’s chairman, chapters will soon be formed and functional in several cities in Europe, the U.S., and Canada.
With the help of the International Committee, EPPF has recently acquired a new 4WD emergency vehicle that it uses to transport those who are injured in the field to hospitals. The payment for the vehicle is not fully paid yet, and the London Chapter and those that are being formed are expected to help raise the necessary funds for such purpose.
The EPPF-IC is also working on a plan to raise funds online from the Diaspora Ethiopians to provide humanitarian assistance to the families of fellow Ethiopians who are joining the resistance.
In Washington DC, a chapter organizing committee will hold its first meeting Sunday. The organizing committee can be reached at [email protected]
