Oromo youth from schools and colleges around the United States, some dressed in traditional country clothes, stood in the rain outside the U.S. Capitol to protest against the Meles administration on Monday.
They urged world leaders and the international media to urge the Ethiopian government to stop killing, harassing and detaining Oromo children, students, intellectuals and farmers.
Their protest was organized by the International Oromo Youth Association, an umbrella for Oromo youth associations and student unions around the world. Ethiopian embassy at Washington DC declined to comment on the youth's protest.
