Forsaken in a Foreign Land

Audio Clip
Numerous News agencies and Media outlets are reporting on the bleak reality facing Ethiopians that are currently stranded in Lebanon. Contrary to what the Ethiopian embassy in Lebanon is claiming, there apparently has been no effort made to evacuate these citizens. Ethiopian Politics is in the processes of contacting the Red Cross, Amnesty International and UNHCR regarding this issue. We ask all concerned Ethiopians to join us in voicing the plight of our brothers and sisters to anyone who may be in a position to help. Please call the following organizations:

UNHCR
RED CROSS, LEBANON
Amnesty, EU
Amnesty, USA
