House of Commons Chamber in session
Honorable Members of House of Commons, Ladies, and Gentlemen, and guests:
Thank you very much for giving me this great and historic opportunity.
My name is Fitsum Achamyeleh Alemu. I am an Ethiopian American currently residing in the USA.
On behalf of Ethiopians living both in Canada and the U.S.A, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for Canada’s long-standing support to the advancement of human rights, democracy, and economic development in Ethiopia.
In this brief, I would like to convey to you my concerns about the one-party dictatorship in Ethiopia, the ongoing ethnic conflicts, genocidal acts, illegitimate detentions of opposition leaders, government-sponsored atrocities, killings, and suppression of free speech.
