Oromo people march for end to US aid to Ethiopean regime

On the 29th of September, Baltimore Bloc reported "3000+" in a march of mostly the Oromo people of Ethiopia and Kenya demanding an end to US and World Bank aid to the regime in Ethiopia. They are calling out the regime for genocide and the use of armed force to suppress peaceful protest against the Addis Ababa Integrated Master Plan, which would absorb tribal lands into the capital city and create mass displacement of farmers. The ruling TPLF/EPRDF party has been called a fascist party for their treatment of the Oromo people.

What weather forecasters are calling the heaviest rain event in five years in the DC area had apparetly no effect on this massive march due to its importance. The march began at the US Capitol, then proceeded to the State Department. From there they went to the World Bank, long a target of protests of their funding displacement and genocide in Ethiopia and seemingly everywhere else they can. The final destination of the march was the White House.
