An Open Letter to The Ethiopian Council in Beirut

March 16, 2012 · Mustapha Hamoui

Tadeos Anteneh, an Ethiopian Blogger, in an open letter to Asaminew Debele, the Ethiopian council in Lebanon:

How could you live another day knowing you could have prevented Alem’s unacceptable death if you had acted promptly by intervening to stop her being overpowered and bundled away to her death in the back of a car ? Could you not have escalated Alem’s daylight abduction and beating to the highest authorities in the land? […]
As the head of the Ethiopian mission what will you do now to help bring the attackers of Alem to justice? […] Ethiopians will be watching to see what you will do to follow up on Alem’s case

That was the sound of a snowball rolling.. (via Wissam)
