UNITED NATIONS, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- The last UN staff member detained by authorities in Ethiopia is now free, a UN spokesman said on Friday. Dujarric did not give any details on the identity of the released staffer except that the staffer is an Ethiopian national. Asked whether the staffer and the other two who were released days earlier were Tigrayans, Dujarric said the United Nations does not keep data on ethnicity. "For us, they were Ethiopians who were working for the United Nations," he said. Challenges for the humanitarian community remain in trying to help victims of the conflict in northern Ethiopia, said the spokesman.
