Addis-Ababa, Ethiopia (ADV) – Ethiopia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that it will henceforth assign skillful and senior diplomats in neighboring countries rather than to advanced nations in Europe and elsewhere. Such a move will further elevate the ongoing relations with neighboring countries such as Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Eritrea, Uganda and Yemen. Alem explained that out of 412 diplomats the country deploys abroad, half of them have been recalled for consultation. Meanwhile, he revealed that the foreign ministry was contemplating on repatriating over 2, 000 Ethiopian citizens living in difficult situations in Tanzania, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Libya. © Bur-csa – N.A / From our regional correspondent Tamba Jean-Matthew III – African Daily Voice (ADV) – Follow us on Twitter : @ADVinfo_eng
