"It is war crimes. I think it reeks of genocide, and there`s simply no excuse for what the Ethiopian government is doing right now."

"I think we have to, you know, turn the screws rather harder if we`re going to get Prime Minister Abiy to stop this."

"the Biden administration has tried to put pressure on Prime Minister Abiy to lighten up on the quite brutal repression that is underway in the Tigray area."

"Give yourselves freaking flexibility."
