Moalin from Ethiopia Wins Asylum!

According to Human Rights Watch, 5.6 million Ethiopians were internally displaced in 2022 due to “armed conflict . . . drought and other natural hazards.” 

Moalin is a trained nurse and has a masters of Public Health. He was conscripted by the Ethiopian army to work in the war against Tigray - a region in northern Ethiopia. Moalin is opposed to the war, so he fled to the US, where he was imprisoned in a detention center. 

CIJF provided the funding for immigration attorney Elizabeth Lopez to take up his case. Due to her efforts, Moalin won asylum this year!
