Addis Ababa, December 3, 2021 (FBC) – Austin’s First Ward Councilman Oballa Oballa met President Joe Biden on Tuesday at Dakota County Technical College and briefed him on atrocities committed by the terrorist TPLF in Ethiopia.
Oballa said meeting Biden was the opportunity of a lifetime and was able to share his own personal story with the 46th president.
He told Biden that the TPLF was previously in power for 27 years before Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed was voted into office in 2018.
Oballa also explained that the TPLF is responsible for the mass killings in his hometown, Gambella and other parts of Ethiopia.
Regarding a solution to the conflict instigated by the TPLF, Oballa said he hopes Ethiopia can resolve the situation by itself.
He added that the Ethiopian issue cannot be solved by America, or the UK, or France or by anything. “It is Ethiopians themselves who will sit down and say we are done with this conflict.” he noted.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said the United States is working with the African Union to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict in the country.
