70 Diplomats defected

Partial List of defected Diplomats and Support Staff MembersThese diplomats and staff members from various Ethiopian Embassies and Consular Offices left their job over the last three months. Some of these diplomats were dismissed from their posts accused of being members and/or supporters of opposition forces. Some others were ordered to report to the Head Office against a background of security reports collected on them by TPLF agents at the Embassies. All of them are awaiting charges of “genocide, desertion…” and other fictitious crimes. The total number of diplomats who left the regime after the May 2005 election is more than twice than the number in this list, which is believed to constitute nearly 75 % of the diplomatic staff.
