Open Letter To Senator Hillary Clinton
January 2, 2006
The Honorable Mrs. Hillary Clinton Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Honorable Senator, |
For over two decades, I served the United Nations particularly in the electoral field. This experience has enabled me to witness the tactful behavior and repressive measures successfully introduced by the Ethiopian Prime Minister in dealing with sophisticated electoral matters to remain on power. In May this year, for example, Mr. Zenawi ordered his administrator of elections and his media chief to announce that the government in power had won the elections when in fact the elections were underway in some areas while counting was going on in others.
“Injustice anywhere, threatens humanity everywhere,” said the great human rights leader, Martin Luther King in 1965. His contemporary, John F. Kennedy ably concluded in 1962, “Our problems are man-made, therefore they can be solved by man. A man can be as big as he wanted.” These, Madam Senator, are eminent words that have come from men of high caliber. Let us all pray to God to employ their prudent wisdom to achieve lasting peace and gain prosperity.
It would be deeply appreciated if you, as a Senator of the Great State of New York, could assist the Ethiopian – Americans of your State and Ethiopians as a whole in raising with the Honorable President George Bush and your colleagues in the Senate the urgent political and economic matters that face Ethiopia at your earliest convenience.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Girma Abebe
