Ethiopia Bill Passes US Congress

[AbdiWahab252]

Congrats to Donald Payne and the numerous Somalis and Ethiopians who lobbied Congress.

Now its up to Bush to reject it then it heads back to the Congress who if they have a 2/3rds majority can over rule the President.

The Zenawi regime has violated the Lahey Law which opposes military aid to nations that violate human rights:

The "Leahy Law," a provision in recent appropriations legislation, prohibits U.S. military assistance to foreign military units that violate human rights with impunity. Known by the name of its principal sponsor, Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy, the provision has become the most important legal tool used to promote respect for human rights through U.S. security assistance programs.

Hopefully they'll pass and the world can finally hold these criminals responsible for their crimes against innocent civilians in southern Somalia.
