Extract from Amhara Association of America AAA የዐማራ ማህበር በአሜሪካ statement on HR 6600
We would like to state the following facts about the bill:
We would like to state the following facts about the bill:
- HR 6600 does not prevent remittances to Ethiopia. Nothing in the bill affects the ability of the
diaspora to send remittances and we are assured by relevant offices that there was never any
intention to do so in the bill
- HR 6600 does not prevent Ethiopians from investing in Ethiopia
- HR 6600 does not prohibit Foreign Direct Investment in Ethiopia
- HR 6600 supports investment in basic needs projects such as hospitals, schools, sewage
systems, and similar civilian development projects
- The language used in HR 6600 is well-balanced on human rights issues and accountability,
especially in light of the highly skewed western media coverage of the war in Northern Ethiopia
