Ethiopia: U.S. Embassy Issues Alert Over Potential Long-Range Attacks in Ethiopia
The embassy urged Americans to avoid military sites and reconsider travel as reported attacks were said to have occurred several times in October.
- On Wednesday, the United States Embassy in Addis Ababa issued a security alert warning American citizens of reports of possible long-range attacks targeting Ethiopian military installations throughout October.
- Northern Ethiopia faces sporadic armed conflict and civil unrest, creating a fluid security situation nearly four years after the Pretoria Agreement ended the 2020–2022 Tigray war between the Ethiopian government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front.
- The Embassy advised Americans to avoid traveling to the Amhara Region, Tigray Region, and The Afar Region, urging those currently in these areas to leave if safe or shelter in place until conditions improve.
- Officials warned that "disinformation about the security situation in Ethiopia is rampant, particularly on social media," urging US citizens to follow local authorities' guidance and consult reliable news outlets.
- While the advisory noted reports of attacks on multiple occasions this month, the Embassy did not confirm whether the reported "potential attacks" had occurred or if additional threats were expected.
