Chairman Smith on the hearing: “Ethiopia
is a vital American ally in
Africa, but its human rights
and democracy policies fall
short of the basic rights
that Ethiopians deserve. Our
hearing will look at the
policies of the current
Ethiopian government in
hopes that it will better
accommodate political
opposition and civil
society, and respect the
rights of all Ethiopians.
We also need to consider how
the U.S. Government can
support ways to improve the
rights—and lives—of the
Ethiopian people.”

Snowden is considered a spy/traitor, how do we

secretes to the Woyanes? Is Smerr a
traitor group as it is an accessory to
treachery by providing platform to all
those who are spilling national secrets
?
