I think it's time to clear up the disinformation on DP coming from some posters as to who drove into the crowd of Black Femme March protestors on the Seattle interstate highway on Saturday. Dawit Kelete is an Eritirean-American. His people hail from Eritrea in Africa, which was at war with Ethiopia for most of the past 30 years. A constant stream of Eritrean refugees have left Africa for Europe and America since the early 1990s.
Many have landed in the UK.
Why are so many people fleeing Eritrea? - Help Refugees
Bill Clinton was the President who most opened our doors to African refugees, especially from Somalia, Ethiopia, and Eritrea. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar arrived due to Clinton's generous refugee policies.
The Eritrean community are now spread throughout the United States, with a distinct Eritrean community existing in Seattle-
"Most Eritrean immigrants are concentrated in Washington D.C.,Arizona and California, especially the San Francisco Bay Area. The community also has a notable presence in the Seattle, Columbus, Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Denver and Dallas metropolitan areas. The Eritrean Muslims Association in North America (EMANA) and Eritrean Muslims Council (EMC) serve the Eritrean community's Muslim adherents."
