Ethiopia works in cooperation with Sudan for safety of displaced: Amb Yibeltal

Addis Ababa, November 20, 2020 (FBC) – In an exclusive interview with Sky News Arabia, Ethiopian Ambassador to Sudan, Yibeltal Aemero affirmed that the ongoing law enforcement operaion in Tigray is an expected move from any responsible government that does not tolerate criminal activities that endanger wellbeing of its citizens and national sovereignty.

In this regard, it would be unwise to equate the law enforcement operation with unwarranted fear of escalation of conflicts across the region, Ambassador Yiebeltal stressed.

He said the Western part of Tigray is now free and people who had fled to Sudan from this area could be returned safely.

The Embassy is doing its level best in cooperation with the government of Sudan to closely follow the issues related to displaced people due to the law enforcement operation, he added, according to Foreign Affairs Ministry.
