has commented on the political situation in Ethiopia almost a week after a state of emergency was imposed by the government. Commission chair, Moussa Faki Mahamat, in a statement issued on Wednesday said he was following events closely. His statement stressed the importance of Ethiopia as host of the A.U. The statement failed to clearly mention the state of emergency which has been top of the diplomatic agenda. “The stability of Ethiopia is crucial for the well-being of its people, the region and Africa as a whole,” the statement concluded.
