The US embassy in Addis Ababa advised all US citizens who are in Ethiopia to leave the country as soon as possible.
The embassy said in a Friday Security Alert that “The security environment in Ethiopia is very fluid.”
This comes as a coalition of anti-government factions threatened to enter the Ethiopian capital.
“US citizens wishing to depart Ethiopia, currently have multiple options via commercial flights from Bole International Airport,” the embassy added.
“For there to be peace in Ethiopia, this [Abiy Ahmed] regime must be removed and an inclusive transitional government must be put in place,” an Oromo group allied with Tigrayan fighters told Daily News Egypt early Friday.
His statements came as US special envoy Jeffrey Feltman was in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa meeting with several senior lawmakers in a bid to reach an immediate ceasefire.
