October 8th, 2008  

The Ethiopian People’s Patriotic Front (EPPF) has launched a new campaign to rally Ethiopians around the world to support its struggle against the vampire regime of the Tigrean People Liberation Front (Woyanne).EPPF’s campaign was launched at the public meeting that was held last week in Frankfurt, Germany, where it sent exiled members of parliament Ato Leul Keskis and Ato Assefa Hailu as high level delegates.

At the Frankfurt meeting with Ethiopians in Europe, the EPPF delegates announced that the organization is in the process of creating its International Council. The Council will be formally announced shortly, according to the delegates.

Following the public meeting in Frankfurt, Ato Leul and Ato Assefa gave an interview to the Voice of America, which is heard by over 20 million Ethiopians on a daily basis.

Listen the two-part VOA interview below:

VOA Interview with Kinijit’s exiled member of parliament – Part II

According to EPPF sources, delegations from Europe and the U.S. will soon travel to the field to meet with fighters and leaders of the resistance group.

One of the main tasks of EPPF’s International Council will be to establish contacts with governments of Europe, U.S. and other countries in an effort to explain the objectives of the organization and try to reach mutual understandings.

The EPPF will also continue to work hard to solidify the increasingly improved relations between Eritrean government and the people of Ethiopia through public dialogues, cultural exchanges and other activities.
