Addis Ababa, December 1, 2021(Walta) – Jim Inhofe, US senator to Oklahoma, longtime friend of Ethiopia has condemned the U.S. imposition of sanctions on Ethiopia.
“It is Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed who is working to protect a unified, peaceful, stable Ethiopia. We should be talking to him about how we can help him restore peace, not slapping punitive sanctions on his government”, the senator noted.
He also said it was inappropriate for the United States to treat this situation in Ethiopia with both sides being equal when clearly they are not.
“One side is the democratically elected government, the other is a disgruntled faction reacting with violence because they are no longer in power, and it’s a terrorist group”, the Senator underscored.
