Weichegud has insight into former Jimmy Carter’s role in Ethiopian politics. Mr. Carter is touring Africa presently, and is expected to publish his final report on the Ethiopian elections.
Unfortunately, Mr. Carter’s track record in Ethiopia is very disappointing.
Why isn’t Mr. Carter horrified that a government he has worked so closely with is committing clear human rights violations? Liberals in America are very trigger happy about volleying accusations of ‘coddling dictators.’ Their dirty little secret is that their premiere spokesperson, who took time to condemn Abu Gharib and urged its closing, has his own dictator boy toy.
Aren’t Ethiopian lives worth as much as those in Abu Gharib?
