Ethiopia Detains Several Local United Nations Staff

UN and humanitarian sources report that over a dozen Ethiopian staffers of the United Nations have been arrested in Addis Ababa in raids targeting ethnic Tigrayans under a state of emergency.  

“Some of them were taken from their homes,” one of the sources said, while a UN spokeswoman in Geneva said requests for their release had been submitted to the foreign ministry.

Ethiopian Minister of Communication Services Legesse Tulu is yet to respond or comment on the development.
