Saudi Ambassador summoned over Ethiopian killing

View Comments (4)

• I read an initiative in one of Ethiopian websites suggesting that Ethiopians should pressure the Saudi government to respect human rights in the raid through writing, calling and if feasible demonstrating at Saudi Arabian embassies through out the world. I have written the following email to the embassy in the country I am currently residing in. I am posting it so that others may use it after making any changes in format and content they wish to make.

  "Dear Ambassador,

  I bring to your kind attention the saddening ordeal of Ethiopian citizens, shown on numerous reports containing photos and videos surfacing on social and mainstream medias at the time this email is written. As shown in these reports, people have been exposed to beatings, rape, killings and inhuman detention by law officers and citizens in el-Manhoufa and various other places in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in connection with a raid to arrest illegal immigrants.

  Dear Ambassador, this email is an entreaty to you as the Ambassador of the Kingdom and as a fellow human being to look into the matter and urge your government to respect the human rights of immigrants from Ethiopia and other countries in enforcement of immigration regulations.

  While I understand that the Kingdom as every country is entitled to control illegal immigration and that the ultimate solution lies within Ethiopia to fight poverty which is the source of immigration, it is also self evident that no matter the situations, government should not perpetrate (or even condone) such blatant abuse of human rights and killings.

  Ethiopia has welcomed and sheltered the first Muslims who were persecuted in their own country, Saudi Arabia, . It is a sad that today Ethiopians are facing subhuman treatments in the same country. It is also sad that such abuse and brutality is happening in a country that is a source of the Muslim religion which upholds equality and peace in the human race.

  I am hopeful that you feel the sufferings of these people and take your time to urge your government to deal with the matter in a humane manner."

  • I do not know why the Ethiopian are upset. They have million of people they cannot feed and we are doing them a favor and i am sure the governments is happy, beside we are buying their land since their are lazy to farm. If they keep us pushing. we will not buy their land and the officials will not have ,money to get. No one asked these negros to come to our country to begins with. Beside, these are not the true Ethiopians as we have been told. So do not cry for some of these negro to die. Allah has willed it and we follow his will. Allah Akbar
