Border points between Kenya and Ethiopia closed

by Engidu Woldie Ethiopia’s top diplomat, Tedros Adhanom, gave a lengthy interview to the Voice of America’s Tizita Belachew of the Amharic service in which he once again brought shame on himself and his TPLF comrades. We will revisit here some of the ridiculous remarks he made while he was answering, or rather, evading questions by the VOA broadcaster as well as pertinent questions by listeners of the VOA, thereby unmasking who the individuals claiming to rule Ethiopia really are.

Several border points between Kenya and Ethiopia have been closed this weekend following a deadly incident on Friday, November 20. 

Ethiopian immigration officials allegedly closed at least five border points. The closure has left several hundred Kenyan citizens stranded.

The crossings between the two nations were closed at approximately six pm on Friday, November 20.

Border points included in the Ethiopian closure: Sololo, Forolle, Dukana, Illeret and Moyale town.

Jackson Ngtold The Standard about the tense situation: “All our officers are accounted for. We lost three officers and we are in command of the situation but tension is still high across. Kenya’s border with Ethiopia is still open and I am not aware whether they have closed theirs. But due to the tension there is no movement.

The violence on Friday, November 20 is reported to have killed at least four Ethiopian soldiers.

Kenyan security forces have been placed on high alert following the invasion by Ethiopian forces who killed three police officers in Sololo on Friday November 20, 2015.
