People are demanding their rights and not backing down and I hope that change is on the horizon and change will come to Ethiopia soon, so I don't have even go that far to seek a U.S. citizenship.

Even if I wanted to run for Ethiopia, I wouldn't expect the government or federation to choose me to do that.

I have no plans to seek asylum in the U.S. or elsewhere. I have not thought about citizenship. I love my country, the only problem I have is with the government.

I'm trying to be careful as much as I can eating this American food. Burgers are heavy. So, I'm trying to minimize that as much as I can.

I want to be a voice for my people and I will continue to protest.

What I want people to know about Ethiopia is that it is a country of nations and nationalities. Oromos are the majority. But Oromos have been so good to Ethiopia but have been marginalized for years.

The people of Ethiopia are saying they've had enough of the killings and are tired of being exiled, imprisoned, beaten and we are done. We have had enough. We want peace now.
