Ethiopia’s government has ordered the expulsion of Seven Senior United Nations Officials from the country for meddling in its internal affairs.
A statement issued today by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs disclosed that the officials are to leave the country within 72 hours.
The statement revealed that the seven officials include individuals from the United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF and United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, UNOCHA.
It added that the move came as humanitarian workers raised alarm about limited access to the embattled Tigray region, which has been racked by conflict for nearly 11 months.
