The HR5680-a human right bill has been delayed to come to the floor of the house of representatives by one man who is the speaker of the house Dennis Hastert. This bill also known as Ethiopian Freedom,Democracy and Human right advancement act stands for the following:-

-Ethiopia to build a strong democratic institiutions and processes as well as practices
-Ethiopians enjoying human right and liberties
-Ethiopia in becoming a just society by releasing all political prisoners jailed unlawfully
-Ethiopia professionalize and modernize its judicial system in promoting the rule of law
-Ethiopia to forge better ties with Us and work effectively in its anti-terrorism partnership in Africa
-Ethiopia having US $20 million over two years to cover the cost of the implementation of this bill.
Any government in the world with good intention would have welcomed this bill with open arms. It isn’t just for now it’s for the future of Ethiopia. The current minority Tigrean dominated government Melese Zenawi as its head opposes the bill because its stand against the will of the majority of Ethiopians to live in peace and freedom promoting his ethnically based rule.
The money which gooses to pay the lobbyist in Washington in opposing the bill the like of Dick Army's firm reciving $50 thousands a month would have benefited a lot for us all. But the sad story still continues. Some in the American administration should be ashamed of themselves in standing against this bill . It’s nothing more than corruption and temporarily benefiting from the crisis we’re now. The determination showing by Ethiopians all over the world to see this bill through is un- wavering. A yesterday’s demonstration by the huge number of Ethiopians outside the Us Congress in Washington DC is the beginning of what to come unless this bill comes to the floor in the nearest future.
We Ethiopians demand our right to be respected and interferance of the outside forces specially in the west should stop. We know what’s right for Us Neither Dennis nor the well paid lobbiest won’t tell us. At the end history will be our judge. VOA report Listen
We’ll be victorious!
