Disinvite Meles Zenawi from Attending G8 Summit at Camp David

Created by M.F. on May 09, 2012

It came to our attention that you are going to host the Ethiopian ruler Meles Zenawi in Camp David for a session on food security in Africa at the annual G8 summit this month.
The food and nutrition insecurity that threaten Africa are mainly caused by Zenawi's autocratic rules and policies. Your invitation of a dictator of these proportions to attend a session on food security in Africa is very embarrassing, and an affront to all Africans and in particular to Ethiopian Americans. Promoting and allowing a tyrant of Zenawi’s proportions to attend for a session on food security in Africa is incredibly inappropriate. Therefore, we strongly urge you to disinvite Meles Zenawi from attending the G8 summit at Camp David.
