Deeply concerned about targeted and recurring ethnic and faith-based atrocities beyond the Tigray region, U.S. Senators Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Cory A. Booker (D-N.J.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.) wrote a compelling letter to Ambassador Jeffrey Feltman, U.S. Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa. They urged him to approach his arduous task in a comprehensive and holistic manner. More specifically, they recommended that he leverages his role and advance national reconciliation, peace, accountable governance, and stability in Ethiopia. This request is in the interest of America’s long-term geopolitical, strategic, and national security interest.
