M. Semplhter
Washington (JTA) — The
United States is sending
former Sen. Rudy Boschwitz
(R-Minn.) to Ethiopia to
discuss the plight of Ethio-
pian Jews and possible solu-
tions to the country's
quarter-century-old civil
war.
White House spokesman
Marlin Fitzwater said that
President Bush is sending
Mr. Boschwitz as his
"personal emissary" to meet
with Ethiopian President
Mengistu Haile Mariam.
The announcement came
one day after Mengistu
declared his willingness to
negotiate with rebel leaders
over the country's future.
Rebel forces are said to be in
control of about half of Ethi-
opia, including Ambo, the
site of a major munitions
plant 75 miles from Addis
Ababa, the capital.
The flow of Ethiopian Jews
to Israel has been hovering
at between 500 and 1,000 a
month since January, with a
two-week interruption in
March.
While that is the highest
sustained level ever, Jewish
groups say it would take an-
other two years to get all of
the Jews out of Ethiopia.
The American Association of
Ethiopian Jews estimates
that there are 18,000 Jews
left in the country.
"Our concern is that this
rate is too slow," Mr. Fitz-
water said April 24. "Sen.
Boschwitz will ask them to
increase this rate, on hu-
manitarian grounds."
But the United States,
Israel and Jewish groups
here are also concerned
about what might happen to
the flow should the rebel
forces successfully over-
throw the Mengistu
government.
The rebels have accused
Israel of supplying cluster
bombs and other weaponry
to the Ethiopian government
in recent years.
A well-informed Jewish
activist here said the U.S.
thinking may be that there
is "greater urgency" now to
secure the swift emigration
of Ethiopian Jews, since it is
"clear that the rebels have
made significant incur-
sions."
The activist said that with
the longevity of the
Mengistu regime unclear
and in the face of uncertain-
ty over the rebels' stance
toward Ethiopian Jewish
emigration, the U.S. goal
appears to be to "get 'em out
while we can."
Mr. Boschwitz, accom-
panied by three administra-
tion officials, was scheduled
to arrive in Addis Ababa on
April 26. The delegation
plans to "raise the emigra-
tion of Ethiopian Jews" and
is "also interested in
discussing any U.S. effort or
helpfulness in resolving the
internal conflict there," Mr.
Fitzwater said. Accompany-
ing Mr. Boschwitz will be Ir-
vin Hicks, deputy assistant
secretary of state for African
affairs; Robert Frasure, di-
rector of African affairs on
the National Security Coun-
cil; and John Hall, the State
Department's Ethiopian
desk officer. In a statement,
Mr. Boschwitz said the pur-
pose of the trip is to "avert
widespread loss of life and
bloodshed." He said that
"things may well be
reaching a crisis level" in E-
thiopia.
The Minnesota Repub-
lican, who was the lone
Senate incumbent defeated
in last November's elections,
is currently chairman of a
lumber company he founded
and is also president of the
Jewish Institute for Nation-
al Security Affairs.
Interreligioils
'Trialogue'
New York (JTA) — Stress-
ing the need for enhanced
communication among re-
ligious faiths in the after-
math of the Persian Gulf
war, Italian Prime Minister
Giulio Andreotti has an-
nounced the creation of a
new international organiza-
tion, called the Association
for Trialogue, to involve
Jewish, Christian and
Moslem groups.
Its goal is "to reflect
together on ways of bringing
down the barriers" of
"stereotyped ideas and er-
roneous perceptions," Mr.
Andreotti told American
Jewish leaders at a
breakfast here sponsored by
the American Jewish Com-
mittee.
The Association for
Trialogue was formally
founded March 10 in Mr.
Andreotti's office in Rome,
and is jointly chaired by the
prime minister; Sir Leon
Tamman, a Geneva-based
Sephardic Jewish busi-
nessman; and Camelia
Sadat, daughter of the late
Anwar Sadat.
Raffaello Fellah, a Libyan
Jew, heads the executive
committee.
