Does it bother anybody that the type of killing we saw in the movies "Hotel Rwanda" and "Sometimes in April" is happening right now in the Ogaden region of Ethiopia?
The land is occupied by ethnic Somalis who rightfully belong there. Also, there have been between 1 million and 2 million people displaced inside Somalia. They fled their homes in fear of the Ethiopian-backed transitional government, which has committed unspeakable atrocities against these people. Food supplies to the refugees have been cut off to purposely starve them. The Red Cross and other humanitarian organizations have been forced out at times because they might report the abuses.
Washington sends lots of money to the Ethiopian government because of its efforts to get three people who may or may not be in the neighborhood who committed terrorist acts in 1998. Does anyone else find this all a little hypocritical? Does this make you feel safe? Write to your senators, and tell them to stop sending money to Ethiopia. Hold these people accountable for the crimes they committed with our tax dollars!
Tell your favorite news outlet to report the story! Check out ogaden.com, hiiraan.com or BBC News, because you won't hear about it on Fox News or the nightly news on ABC, CBS or NBC.
