American Ethiopian Public Affairs Committee (AEPAC) is a U.S. based non-profit organization striving to “strengthen and foster the U.S.-Ethiopia relationship, enhance both countries security interests, as well as advance democracy, respect for human rights and free market entrepreneurship in Ethiopia.”
It has been an active advocacy voice on Ethiopian American public affairs for many years now.
Mesfin Tegenu, Executive Chairman ,described the latest United Nations Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia’s report as puzzling and full of contractions.
His full remark on the report, representing EPAC, is featured below :
“We are puzzled by the United Nations Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia’s report.
It is full of contradictions, there is a desperate lack of data and in a conflict that has impacted tens of millions, they have interviewed just 180 people. Worst still, they failed to interview anyone from Afar, a region devastated by the TPLF insurgency.
The Commission has also failed to recognize some very basic facts of the conflict already noted by the international community, including the attacks on the Government’s Northern Command military bases by the TPLF on November 4th 2020, an event that was described by the UNDP as an act of war.
We are also amazed such grand conclusions have been reached, despite the Commissioners repeatedly stating throughout the report more evidence and time is required to investigate.
This is a flawed report, one that fails to address the conflict with any objectivity, and it will further deepen the distrust between the Ethiopian people at home and abroad, as well as peace loving citizens across Africa, and the UN.

Humble Commentary, 22 Sept 2022
Dear Executive Chairman Mesfin Tegenu
You said it all.
In all honesty, I am NOT surprised by the report of the so-called human rights organization.
In my limited knowledge, I am sadly aware of the deeply basic negative attitude of international organizations upon BLACK AFRICAN PEOPLE. YES, UPON BLACK AFRICAN PEOPLE. And the audacity of all, they use Black African Individuals to arrive at their basic intention against the black African people. The action upon Ethiopia is very GLARING. It is NOT intended to help Tigray but to destroy the cohesiveness of the ancient independent Black African Country, named ETHIOPIA, in TOTALITY. Even a brief reading of Ethiopian history would reveal the admirable nature and history of Ethiopians in totality.
Good Luck to ETHIOPIA and to BLACK AFRICA in TOTALITY NOT FRAGMENTED INTO PIECES.
The END WITH A QUESTION:
HOW WOULD ONE FEEL IF the FAMOUS UNITED KINGDOM, or FRANCE, or GERMANY or RUSSIA or AUSTRALIA etc were to be DIVIDED INTO PIECES???? FOR BLACK AFRICA, the CONSCIOUSNESS [if exist] of THE WHITE RACE TAKES RELAXING VACATION, WITHOUT THE SLIGHTEST FEELING!!! WOW! WOW! WOW! & WHAT A ‘SKIN” !!! IN THE WISDOM and PHILOSOPHY OF ETHIOPIA, IT IS CALLED “DOUBLE SKIN” = Dirib Kodda” . YES, ETHIOPIA , THE COUNTRY of BLACK COLOURED PEOPLE is FULL of WISDOM>; WELL BEYOND MOST of the EUROPEAN COUNTRIES !!!!!! I DARE SAY THAT.
