Conference and briefing on the crisis in EthiopiaNovember 6, 2023, 9:30a.m. Ethiopia, a country of over 120 million people, is the key to stability in the Horn of Africa. Ethiopia is experiencing overlapping crises: an unresolved civil war; ethnic cleansing and ethnically motivated killings; desperate hunger and malnutrition; human rights abuses; and crippling corruption. While more than a million people in Ethiopia are in dire need of food, rampant government corruption has led the United States and international donors to suspend aid. Ethiopian-American civic organizations are holding a constitutional conference and congressional briefing on November 6 to raise awareness of the crises, discuss the common causal factors, and propose solutions.
