South Korea Fires Its Ambassador in Ethiopia for Sexual MisconductSeptember 30, 2017 - The South Korean foreign ministry has recalled its top envoy to Ethiopia for sexual harassment and assault on the local staff members of the Korean International Cooperation Agency, according to the Reporter. Ambassador Kim Moon-Hwan has been under investigation for sexual harassment and assault charges leveled against him by young staff members from its development agency for close to a month now. A month ago, a South Korean delegation was sent to Ethiopia to conduct an investigation and interview all the alleged victims in Addis Ababa. This is not the first time the embassy faced backlash about the conduct of its staff members. This occurred a year after another allegation surfaced involving South Korean diplomats who were accused of harassing minors in Chile and in the Middle East.
