Stop helping the Ethiopian Government who uses tax payers money to buy bullets to kill our people

Over 50 Students were killed in one day in Oromia, Ethiopia. The killings are still underway, we ask the United States government to urge the Ethiopian Government to restrain itself from its barbaric action.

Why is this important?

Many non-governmental and human right organizations were reporting about the brutality of the Ethiopian government for the last 23 years. But still the Ethiopian government is one of the major recipients of not only of financial aid but also military training and hardware from United States Government, which the regime does not hesitate to use against our people. The killings of thousands of Oromo students and civilians suspected of being supporters of opposition groups in the last two decades, genocide in Gambella and Ogaden can witness this.
The financial aid given to this regime is not being used to construct schools and hospitals but to buy weapons, to construct prisons and buy technologies to spy on its own citizen at home and in diaspora.
In the last decade, millions of hectares of land were and are being snatched off poor peasants and sold to wealthy investors in the name of development. The farmers and their families are left for destitution and absolute poverty while TPLF officials and peoples arround them are building luxurious Villas with the aid money at the same spot were the farmers are displaced .
Opposing this land grab and injustice, millions of Oromo students and civilians are demonstrating peacefully. But the response from the government side is as usual so brutal that over 50 high school and University students were killed just on one day, and the killing is still underway.
With this petition we would like to ask you:
1) To urge the Ethiopian government to stop killing unarmed Oromo civilians and students.
2) To stop giving both financial and military aid to this regime, who use your tax payers' money to buy weapons which end up killing our people.
