US Looks to Expand Development Aid to Strategic Partner Ethiopia
Editors comment: There was huge expectations by the extremists in the Diaspora the Obama administration will be cooling the relationship or downright hostile to the EPRDF government in Ethiopia. Some of their websites were talking about trying one more time the banana revolution like they did after the 2005 election. Everyone knows the Ginbot-7 fiasco a few weeks ago. The extremists with the help of shabiya tried and they are still trying to lobby some USA officials to get them to pass resolutions that damage the deep relationship between the United States and Ethiopia. After all the cries and in Washington DC and European capitals on one hand, and blackmailing working with ONLf, Al Qaida and Somali Islamic Courts to destabilize Ethiopia on the other, they did not go an inch to achieve their goal which is destroying Ethiopia and the people of Tigrai. The article below by Peter Heinlein is a fine example of the Diaspora extremists’ failure and the Obama administration is warming up to the Ethiopian government’s efforts to bring the country to the 21st century. Extremism and resistance to democracy in Ethiopia is futile.Comment on this article
