Urges press freedom in Ethiopia
Obama urges Ethiopia’s leaders to curb crackdowns on press freedom and political openness as he begins a visit that human rights groups say legitimizes an oppressive government. Obama’s trip marks the first visit by a sitting U.S. president to Ethiopia, a fast-growing economy once defined by poverty and famine.
When all voices are being heard, when people know they are being included in the political process, that makes a country more successful.
Another joke: Obama supporting human rights and admonishing corruption! He has fostered and even encouraged corruption, dishonesty and yes: violation of human rights within the US
Mr. Gay Obama, are you sure you wanted to say press freedom or Gay Freedom ?
Previous I was disappointed by his tour to east Africa but now with his speech at Au I am now delightful and acknowledge that this is the speech we needed for a centurys,this is really the president of the great nation (USA) owns
Obama is a nice guy but has no clue about Africa. Ethiopia is not ready for democracy. Suggesting Africa
should adopt American values is actually cultural imperialism. Africa has to go its own way
Obama says true.
