It is not only the Ethiopian Orthodox Church—one of the oldest Christian churches in the world—that is being targeted; it is faith, identity, history, and humanity itself that are being attacked and persecuted in Oromia region of Ethiopia by Oromo extremists and Islamists.
Photos of the past….
In the history of U.S.-Ethiopian relations, beginning with the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1903, there have been many official visits between the two countries. In fact, H.I.M. Haile Selassie was the first African leader to pay a visit to the White House during a trip to the U.S. in 1954 when he visited both government and non-government institutions. In this photo he is seen during a tour of the airplane manufacturer Boeing in Seattle, Washington. During the visit H.I.M. Haile Selassie was presented with a model Boeing B-52 by Boeing President William M. Allen as Seattle Mayor Allan Pomeroy looks on. At the Emperor’s right are his granddaughter Princess Seble Desta and Prince Sahle Selassie Haile Selassie.
