Condemn President Obama’s invite of Dictator Meles of Ethiopia

President Obama like previous U.S. presidents has decided to show a blind eye towards African dictators, who cow tow U.S. policy in the name of fighting terrorism. In reality many African dictators are terrorizing their own people. In particular, Dictator Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia has been known to engage in extra-judicial killing, genocide, and keep journalists like Eskinder Nega and other political prisoners in his dudgeon.

Besides confiscating all land, Internet, and major industries, Dictator Zenawi owns all the land and most important assets. He unilaterally discarded any rule of law, property rights and press freedom.

He has destroyed Ethiopian nationalism by injecting tribalism and the economy. Dictator Meles has the power to pardon, kill, imprison or do anything he wants to 85 million impoverished Ethiopians with complete impunity.

President Obama has decided to wine and dine with this African dictator, while waging a war in Afghanistan, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and other countries in the name of democracy. Besides giving moral support to this dictator, President Obama is also funneling billions of U.S. taxpayers funds to prop Dictator Meles Zenawi. We, Ethiopians unequivocally condemn President Obama’s policy of duplicity, wining and dining and fraternizing with such brute African dictator.

We ask conscious American to stand with the people of Ethiopia in their quest for freedom and justice by asking President Obama to cancel his planned May 18, 2012 meeting at Camp David with Dictator Meles. Join us in condemning President Obama and other hired guns such as DLA Pipers, congressional members, and other Lobbyists who are a party to this conspiracy, genocide and to the crime taking place in Ethiopia.

Despite the fact that Meles has been compared to Pol Pot, Ivan the terrible and Idi Amin or other brute dictators, President Obama has decided to show a blind eye. Please don’t let him. Let us expose this duplicity for the sake of millions of Ethiopians suffering under Dictator Meles and for the sake peace in Africa.

Demand Congress to immediately cease aiding and abetting Dictator Zenawi and demand an end to his dictatorial rule. Help us restore democracy, free press, and release all political prisoners by standing with the people of Ethiopia. Support the establishment of a transitional government to hold a free and fair election to restore democratic rule.

Meles deserves to be sen to Guantanamo not camp David and tell Obama to stop wining and dining with a brute African dictator. Call the White House at : 202-456-1111 to leave comments or Switchboard: 202-456-1414 to talk to a live person.
