Ethiopia Denying Entry to Eritrean MigrantsBy Staff ReporterApril 24, 2020 (Ezega.com) -- Ethiopia has denied entry permits for Eritrean migrants who want to cross to its territory, Ezega.com has learned. The closure of borders for asylum seekers could subject the Eritrean migrants to use unsafe routes in trying to reach Europe and the US, the UNHCR warned. Eritrean migrants in Ethiopia have had better chances to go to Europe and the United States in a legal way but after a long waiting time. Currently, more than 170,000 Eritrean refugees are living in Ethiopia. Eritrean migrants and observers claim that both decisions were “politically motivated” as were conspired by the governments of Eritrea and Ethiopia.
