US Hails Ethiopian Government Decision to Release Oppositional FiguresJanuary 16, 2018 - The U.S government hailed the Ethiopian government decision to release and drop charges of key oppositional figures. Couple of weeks ago the U.S embassy in Addis Ababa had expressed its concern about the recent conflict in the Eastern African nation. According to a statement by Getachew Ambaye, Ethiopia’s government Attorney General, charges against 528 Ethiopian suspects, including Dr Merera Gudina and Dr Wolderufael Disasa, have been dropped. Following the announcement, the U.S government statement stressed that “we understand these efforts as part of the government’s decision to accelerate democratic progress, and stand ready to work with all Ethiopians who share the goal of ensuring that all citizens are empowered to build a brighter future for their country.”Source:- FBCBack Print
