Thought for Today
"Wise students of life welcome experiences that appear to offer adversity because every imaginary barrier is a personal challenge to grow, and with growth comes a greater sphere of influence, responsibility, and reward. We discover who we are gradually, through experiences. With hindsight, what appeared to have been the greatest problems are recognized as occurring during the times of greatest growth and self-awareness. This principle holds true not only for individuals, but also for organizations, corporations, countries, the world, and beyond. When we find ourselves, individually or collectively, at the border between order and chaos, we're poised to experience the greatest growth and evolution." by John Demartini

HR2228 is clearly anti Ethiopia and is targeted against Ethiopia's interest. It is clearly supported by the one man government in Eritrea...

"...One major new provision in H.R. 2228 is the Requirement of compensation for persons who’s Properties was confiscated by government action in Ethiopia. Accordingly, “all capital assets of United States citizens and of entities not less than 50 Percent beneficially owned by United States citizens That have been nationalized, expropriated, or Otherwise seized by the Ethiopian government before The date of the enactment of this Act in contravention Of international law are returned or a mutually agreed Upon restitution agreement is performed.”

This has nothing to do with any American property but Berhane Gebermedhi’s Liquor Company. Berhanes daughter, sons with Shabia operatives in Washington including Rep Rohrabacher and the now convicted lobbyist Abramoff have for years attempted to enforce these. Now Shabia has succeeded with the help of Ethiopians collaborating with Ethiopian groups that joined AFD.
