Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa (SEHOA) Ambassador Mike Hammer will travel May 10-19 to Los Angeles, California for a variety of speaking engagements. He looks forward to discussing developments in Ethiopia, including implementation of the November 2 Cessation of Hostilities Agreement that ended the conflict in northern Ethiopia.

In Los Angeles, Ambassador Hammer will meet representative groups from across the Ethiopian diaspora, including Amharan, Oromo, Somali, and Tigrayan communities. He will also have a conversation with the American-Ethiopian community as a whole, in a town hall event at Bob Hope Patriotic Hall hosted by the United Women of the Horn, an inter-ethnic coalition of women leaders from the region. The event will focus on promoting peace and women’s empowerment. Ambassador Hammer will also meet Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and speak with students at the University of Southern California’s (USC) Center on Public Diplomacy, in partnership with the U.S. Africa Institute.

  1. This is diplomacy and fulfillment of duties as an envoy at its best. I’m not worried about him but I’m worried that those who will meet him will make fools of themselves by telling one emotion loaded diatribe after another. Some will move their jaws with genocide this and genocide that and the other group will sit in front of him lambasting about the oppression since the 1850’s(Hey Ittu you’re wrong. Haven’t I told oppression and subjugation has been going on for more than 600 years?). Another professor will plead to Envoy Mike to force a referendum ala Eritrea in his region. The fourth or fifth group will ask him to do something about Abiy and rent too damn high in Minnesota. But some calm and collected individuals will have a productive pow wow with him. That is what I am counting on.

  2. I still insist Envoy Mike Hammer should be on the list of candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize this or next year.

      1. No I’m not kidding. But that is my personal opinion and not intended to offend anyone. Blessings!!!

    Being lucky to be in a FREE COUNTRY, I would dare to say that the above quotation is simply RUBISH of individual gatherings who have nothing better to do in the FREE TRANQUIL COUNTRY AMERICA >>> THE SANCTUARY OF ALL.

    The agony of underdeveloped countries means little to those who were lucky enough to get away from the misery of our DEAR BLACK AFRICAN CONTINENT. SHOCKING, AMAZING…………

    The exodus of Africans from their dear Africa will continue until our dear AFRICA is completely and deeply exhausted to be a little Sahara Desert. And then, the old colonial powers will shift to other games of exploitation in/or other areas. They can’t help it. …………………….. NO END

  4. Every Ethiopian diaspora with same mind should condemn the new apartheid style abuse and oppression by the so-called Prosperity party fulfilling the wicked OLF and alike outdated evil practice. There should not be silence civilians targeted and women murdered and the fetus taken out and eaten by such demonic rebels. We see and listen thanks to social media the untold huma crime happening on Amhara especially on those migrated from Wollo and Gurages by these neo-Nazis’ in Ethiopia especially the so-called Oromo region Wolega and Benshanguel .
