By admin on September 4th, 2008

About a dozen Somali-Americans representing the Somali Union, an organization working to rehabilitate the Somali Republic, gathered in front of the Capital at noon today and marched downtown to speak out against the U.S.-sponsored Ethiopian occupation of their home country.

The protest came a day after hundreds of Somalis joined the March on the RNC to raise awareness about the daily genocide happening in Somalia.
