Ethiopian aliyah to end Aug. 28,
Jewish Agency says
(JTA) – The Jewish Agency is preparing to end mass aliyah from Ethiopia with two final flights consisting of 400 immigrants on Aug. 28. The Jewish Agency emissary to Ethiopia, Asher Seyum, made the announcement in a brief letter, saying the Jewish Agency will hand over its aid compounds in the Ethiopian city of Gondar to local authorities at the end of August.
JTA. Židovska agencija ( Jewish agency) se priprema za završetak masovne alije iz Etiopije sa dva konačna leta ( transporta avionom) od 400 imigranata na 28 august. Emisar Agencije u Etiopiji, Asher Seyum, je pismeno najavio da će Jewish agency završiti svojom pomoći lokalnim vlastima u etiopskom gradu Gondaru.
Ta akcija, koja traje pet godina a originalno je ustanovljena od "North American Conference on Etiphian Jewry", a kasnije preuzeta od "Jewish Agency", je pomogla (edukacijom, ishranom pa i servisima za zapošljavanje) tisućama Etiopljana koji su čekali imigraciju u Izrael. Jednom kada se organizirani letovi završe, Etiopljani koji žele imigrirati u Izrael morati će proći ista pravila kao potencijalni imigranti iz ostalog svijeta i biti razmatrani kao pojedinačni slučajevi.
Računa se da ima čak između 9.000 do 15.000 Etipljana čiji su preci bili prisiljeni prihvatiti kršćanstvo u 1800- tim godinama. samo je za oko 3.000 do danas odobren ulazak u Izrael pod zakonom "Prava na povratak" , što automatski daje građanska prava.

The remaining members of the Ethiopian Jewish community will leave for Israel make aliyah by the end of this summer, and the Jewish Agency educational compound in the northern part of the country that has prepared them for their new lives in Israel will be turned over this month to the Ethiopian government.
The compound in Gondar, which earlier was under the auspices of the North American Conference on Ethiopian Jewry, “will not be needed beyond July,” said Misha Galperin, who heads the Jewish Agency’s department of international development. “That’s it. There’s no more.”
Several thousand Falash Mura, who returned in recent decades to the Jewish community and have sought to immigrate to Israel, are now part of
Israel’s 120,000-member Ethiopian Jewish community.
Some 7,000 Falash Mura are now in Jewish Agency absorption centers throughout Israel.
