National Emergency in Ethiopia: A Deep Dive into President Biden’s Congressional Letter

September 7, 2024

September 6, 2024

Dear Mr. Speaker:   (Dear Madam President:)

Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)) provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless, within 90 days prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date.  In accordance with this provision, I have sent to the Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice stating that the national emergency with respect to Ethiopia declared in Executive Order 14046 of September 17, 2021, is to continue in effect beyond September 17, 2024.

The situation in and in relation to northern Ethiopia, which has been marked by activities that threaten the peace, security, and stability of Ethiopia and the greater Horn of Africa region, continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.

Therefore, I have determined that it is necessary to continue the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14046 with respect to Ethiopia.

                              Sincerely,

JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.

  1. Thank Mr. President! This is the right thing to do because war mongers are still on the prowl to ignite another bloody and senseless conflict which had already caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands and destruction in billions of dollars. I hope the ICC will follow Good Ole USA’s lead and press war criminal charges on those who committed war crimes.

    May God Continue To Bless The United States of America!!!

  2. This is the first step, the next step is to deny Abiy entry visa to enter USA for the coming UN general assembly in New York. Abiy is a Genocider, who kills his people for last six years. This person does not deserve to sit with World leaders who respect the people they lead.
