We, peace loving people of the world with concern for Ethiopia demand US retried diplomat gives official apology for his divisive statement that may bring more conflicts in the nation Ethiopia.The conflict in Amhara region and in Ethiopia in general is a continuation of political conflicts created by ethnic politics of former rebel group EPRDF. It doesn't have any relation with the history of the Amhara people who is one of the pillars of Ethiopian ethnic groups .On June 24, 2019, Herman Cohen tweeted:

Failed coup in #Ethiopia’s Amhara state was an attempt by ethnic nationalists to restore Amhara hegemony over all of Ethiopia that existed for several centuries prior to 1991. That dream is now permanently dead.

Please refrain from here say hypothesis, which can endangered the life of millions of innocent people no matter to which ethnicity they may belong. With all due respect this is not what we expect from an experienced diplomat. Though I do recognise age matters.

I strongly oppose Mr. Cohen divisive and biased statements that he made on his Twitter account on Amhara people,,Ethiopia. Mr Cohen's statement may lead the volatile region into chaos. The international community has to join the people of Amhara's demand for Mr. Cohen to officially apologize it.
