and ethiopia. when we brought to use the demand of the rmous, we who are known as caro, we stepped up to speak for them because their voices were not heard in international community. now with many of the reforms, voices that were once silenced are finding expression and they can be heard. and we are grateful that you, chairman smith, and ranking member bass have followed up with congressional litigation to ethiopia on august 23rd where you recognize, met with, spoke with them. the prime minister's strong reform are certainly to be celebrated. now it is necessary to consolidate and to build on these reforms in order to bring opportunity and practices patient to the country. everyone thought that ethiopia was on the verge of collapse and they proved to be disciplined, sustained, and invalid in the modern form of resistance. they created the opening that ushered in this era of change. i want to remind you of the need to ensure that the benefit and opportunity created now reach a crossroads. those who

i know my wife and i will continue to always loved ethiopia and the people of ethiopia. thank you very much. >> thank you for you much. our distinguished colleague from virginia, mr. garrett. thank you, mr. chairman. very briefly as i pointed out during the subcommittee hearing on the full committee hearing and as i am sure our witness today is more aware of than i am, really the turning point for their certain demographic geographical realities on the ground. for example, 15.5 times as much land area is in ethiopia and yet the population of russia is about 35 plus or minus a million greater than not have ethiopia. and so, we have a lot of people in a relatively small area which creates problems in another cell particularly when we consider the birth a rates therein and ts isn't necessarily a good or bad a job so i will point out the amazing diversity and vibrant cultural contributions as well as contributions in the realms of the arts and sciences, et cetera they go back literally millennia to the region. but if we don't start to get it right, we may not be of the reel

and ethiopia. we are there. the internally displaced numbers are horrifying. they go back several years also recently because of the emergency that happened in somalia and the brief violence that took part there that added another great number of internally displaced. silly affair. there. usaid disaster of foreign assistance and we will continue to be there and monitor and help whatever way we can. and i think the last one was the trafficking in persons began a figure the situation within ethiopia for you have a transitioning government with the enlightenment to want to change things. their problem comes up that they have to change things in so many critical areas and even the security forces again want to improve. we want them to improve, would love to see nothing more than to see them get up to that tier one status and if they want to engage with us, we want to get it done them with me specific recommendations that will work with him. actively to help them get there. it is very rarely that you ha

ethiopia is no exception. in supporting ethiopia we must recognize that redressing legitimate grievances and protecting human rights yields long-term security dividends. investment in good governance and security also prevents groups i can al-shabaab at isis from attempting local grievances. the u.s. must also weigh the values of outsourcing foreign policy objectives to partners against the adverse effects of their involvement. the u.s. can begin to shape its approach to ethiopia by first coming using all tools to help prime minister abiy demilitarize his violence and quÉbec next -- necessary forms peacefully to all such pics i can commission views remained the sole guarantor of its interest in the region are not relying on the uae or any other outside power to manage these interests. ethiopia is a critical country and an increasingly important region. the u.s. must recognize the dangers of rapidly changing dynamics in the horn of africa to prepare worst-case scenarios, even as regard new developments with op

addis ababa, capital city of ethiopia. a cool, high altitude, urban center that will both confirm and confound expectations. fueled largely by direct foreign investment and a returning ethiopian diaspora eager to be part of the new growth, things are changing in addis. it's one of the fastest growing economies in the world. it's not the first time the place has gone through a growth spurt. in the 1950s, emperor haile selassie, known as "the king of kings," embarked on a similar program of massive public works. this was supposed to be the legacy of ethiopia. the future. but the next time ethiopia found itself in the headlines, it was for this. and for many of us, that was the end of the story. so i'm looking forward to this week. >> marcus: i can't wait to show you ethiopia. >> anthony: i've been waiting for you. i mean, i'll tell you right now -- >> marcus: you couldn't have picked a better time because we have old ethiopia right here, and we also have new ethiopia right here, and, that's like, that combo -- it's gonna be

is simple nigeria doesn't have a system to targeted support the poorest ethiopia does and when you do that and to scale that makes all the difference in terms of reducing extreme poverty so would you say then that these poverty stricken countries in africa looking at that example now are capable of raising their living standards using their own resources as ethiopia that. well they need both and what our approach shows is that some countries can't afford to do it by themselves and ethiopia is one of the meteor of a kind of basically a forward about half the course needed to end extreme poverty and the poverty reduction it's seen over the last twenty five years has been partly because donors have been helping support programs for schools programs hospitals but also programs vice support for the most vulnerable put that together then you did you can make it work but it's going to need both sides governments need to provide what they can and donors need to provide to make up in a shared many countries can fully afford to do this themselves in most african countries and in the moment they

now we're going to look at ethiopia once banned freedom fighters in ethiopia have been actually given a hero's welcome home the leader of the a roma liberation front the ole if his name is wood as well as fifteen hundred find his return to outer suburb or up to twenty six years in neighboring eritrea their lives been fighting for self-determination for ethiopia's largest ethnic groups and for nineteen seventies prime minister ahmed removed from a terrorism list earlier this year as part of political reforms well the leaders of the o.l.f. are just the latest opposition members to return home a week ago it was leaders of the din but seven who had a heart in coming they'd been in exile for more than ten years when their policy was outlawed the o.l.f. and they argued in national liberation front had been on the government's terror list for years but in july parliament voted to remove them and the new prime minister invited them to come back and to take past in the country's political process in a peaceful manner unlike his predecessors prime minister has acknowledged his country has no op

the ruling coalition in ethiopia is going to hold a congress in early october and that's going to be a key opportunity for detractors of the prime minister within the ruling coalition to voice their discontent with how he's leading the country how he's handling these problems so the time between now and then is going to be key for how we see the government actually addressing these issues and what's particularly worrying is that the response we've seen so far out of the government has been to condemn the violence as the work of either armed criminals or of individuals who have been hired and paid to disrupt the reform process and disrupt the program of a minute the problem is that this rhetoric is almost identical to what we saw coming out of the previous ethiopian government when it was denouncing the very protests that brought all that helped bring the power over the past three years so that the rhetoric out of the government is unlikely to be any more effective now than it was them right and so as you say promise abbé ahmed it is ethiopia's first around the leader that was a very
