Let us all, from every corner of the world, press to change Ethiopian Airlines for the better. We should not let Ethiopian Airlines ridicule itself by violating the rights of Ethiopians. If Ethiopian Airlines is representing Ethiopia and Ethiopians, the company needs to have sound practices that present and maintain the sovereignty, dignity, and equality of our country and our people. The slavish practice that gives priority to others by discounting the rights of Ethiopians can no longer be allowed. Let us join hands and push forward to alter the bad practices utilized by Ethiopian Airlines to manage overbooked/oversold flights. We cannot remain silent when the rights of Ethiopians are systematically devalued.

We, the undersigned supporters of this petition, represent the solidarity of Ethiopian citizens, Ethiopian expatriates in the Diaspora, and all people of the world who condemn acts of discrimination. This petition documents a unified rejection of Ethiopian Airlines’ deplorable attempt to marginalize blatantly discriminatory treatment practices on January 24, 2007 in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.

Thus, we call upon Ethiopian Airlines to accept and adhere to six demands stated within by their respective deadlines.
