Atrocity against Ethiopians in Saudi Arabia continues

The atrocity against Ethiopians detained in different concentration camps in Saudi Arabia

has been continuing for the past five days. It has now been learnt that two Ethiopians have

been killed yesterday. According to Ethiopians there, the two were killed during a scuffle of

separating a husband and wife.

State media said that the Ethiopian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Tedros Adhanom

has discussed with his Saudi Arabian counterpart over the phone. Dina Mufti, the Public

Relations Head of the Ministry said the attack against Ethiopians showed a slightdecrease

after the discussion of the two ministers. This statement had saddened many Ethiopians.

The Ministry also said a high level delegation has also travelled to Saudi Arabia. Dr. Tedros

has been criticised on different social media spheres for not taking the severe abuse of

Ethiopians seriously.

Many Ethiopians told ESAT that the statement of the Ministry about the decrease in attacks

was false and it has rather harshly increased. An Ethiopian residing in Riyadh said many

Ethiopians have been rounded up and are now concentrated in the desert.
