Ethiopia Repatriates 1,701 Citizens from Saudi Arabia
Original: Ethiopia Repatriates 1,701 Citizens from Saudi Arabia Amid Expanding Citizen-First Diplomacy
Ethiopia has brought home 1,701 of its citizens from Saudi Arabia as part of an ongoing repatriation effort that officials describe as a citizen-first approach to diplomacy. The returns affect Ethiopian migrants who had been living in the kingdom, many of them in irregular situations. The government presents the operation as proof of its commitment to protecting nationals abroad, while such large-scale returns from Saudi Arabia continue to draw attention to the conditions migrant workers face in the Gulf.
Why now: Large-scale repatriations of migrants from Saudi Arabia remain a sensitive and closely followed issue in Ethiopia and the region.
