Ethiopia cannot build a stable, prosperous democracy if its leaders insist on staying in power by jailing opposition leaders, persecuting journalists, & stifling free debate. Amidst a brutal civil war, Ethiopians deserve credible elections, not a coronation for the regime.

Noone deserve this. Having a different political opinion is not a crime. This is not prosperity. Remember, yesterday jailers are today's prisons. Don't follow the same failed path. #LearnToDoRight#FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners

Report of gross human rights violations in Tigray, Ethiopia is heart breaking. Those who are responsible should be held accountable. Injustice Anywhere Is a Threat to Justice everywhere.
The United States is gravely concerned by reports of atrocities in Ethiopia's Tigray region. We strongly condemn the killings, forced removals, sexual violence, and other violations of human rights. The international community must work together to prevent further atrocities.
