U.S. ‘gravely concerned’ by reports of human rights abuses in Ethiopia, Secretary of State Blinken says
KTLA ^ | 02/28/2021

Posted on 02/28/2021 8:25:42 AM PST by BenLurkin

Accounts of atrocities by Ethiopian forces against residents of the country’s northwestern region of Tigray were detailed in reports by The Associated Press and by Amnesty International. Ethiopia’s central government and regional officials in Tigray both believe that each other’s governments are illegitimate after the pandemic disrupted elections.

Those responsible for abuses in Tigray must be held accountable, Blinken added, calling for an independent, international investigation into the reports of human rights violations.

Alarm is growing over the fate of the Tigray region’s 6 million people as fighting is reportedly as fierce as ever between Ethiopian and allied forces and those supporting the now-fugitive Tigray leaders who once dominated Ethiopia’s government.

Gadhafi had a plan to liberalize Africa and turn it into a free-market continent with their own currency but the Globalists killed him because they need to keep the people poor and desolate.

China mounts a campaign of genocide against the Uighurs and the biden regime says that's "just a cultural 'norm'". Now they're concerned about Ethiopia????

Communists. Biden/Harris wants to help the communists.

This is the side Biden/Harris wants to bail out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigray_People%27s_Liberation_Front

There are human rights abuses right here in the USA. People are being persecuted for their political beliefs. People are being beaten and killed by mobs unleashed by the left wing junta. There is ethnic discrimination against one race of citizens. We should clean up in our own back yard.

Ethiopia’s human rights atrocities takes precedence over current American human rights atrocities. Ok. Got it.

Now all of a sudden “we’re concerned”? Where was Blinken when Obama and Clinton unleashed the Arab Spring? Where were they for the last 50 years. I smell more democracy building.

Given that it’s the Feels Up/Heels Up Administration there can be no doubt that they’re backing the bad guys.

Did Blinken show support by putting up the Ethiopian flag?

OK so let’s see...

At least acdozen American cities destroyed by marxist domestic terrorist groups.

Thousands of illegal immigrants pouring into our country bringing along diseases we wiped out years ago, as well as kung flu.

Biden shipping these same illegals to our communitues with no notice.

Millions of Americans unemployed for a year now because of kung flu.

Crime and suicide rates on the rise also related to both kung flu and democrats letting criminals out of jail.

Millions in Texas trying to recover from a devastating freak ice storm. I’m still rebuilding the plumbing. Actually can’t do a lot because of light rain, I’d stay soaking wet. And took 3 days just to find a half dozen parts. 1st Monday, nobody had pvc parts or pipe. All parts wiped out.

The list goes on...

And biden is worried about someone halfway around the world.

Why am I not surprised?

Biden has a 50 year record in public service of being on the wrong side in every single foreign policy issues over half a century. He’s not going to break his record of consistency now.

Is Blinkin sure that this flag isn’t upside down?
He left a couple of highly disgruntled Mexicans after allowing such a flag mistake last week.

That’s what got me asking the question.
I had this feeling that something wasn’t quite right.
