The brothers contacted the Namibian embassy in Ethiopia where an official they only identified as Mrs Sarah tried to help them by engaging Ethiopian Airlines' supervisor. According to Antonius, the Ethiopian Airlines officials refused to talk to the official, saying that she did not want to speak to Namibians. He also claims that the Ethiopian Airlines officials chased them out of their offices when they tried to talk to them. Ethiopian Airlines has not been able to issue clarity on the matter, while questions sent in December had not been responded to. During his brothers' detention in Addis Ababa, Lameck recalled having heard the airline staff shouting at his brothers, after having refused to speak to him.
