Washington-Sana
The United States has ordered its non-essential diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia and their family members to leave the country.
The US State Department said in a statement published today that it yesterday issued an order for non-essential US government employees and their family members to leave Ethiopia due to the armed conflict and unrest.
This announcement comes with the escalation of the situation in Ethiopia and the announcement of its government to impose a state of emergency after the threat of an armed Ethiopian group called the "Tigray People's Liberation Front" to march on the capital, Addis Ababa, after nearly a year of clashes with the Ethiopian army.
