Ethiopia says Eritrea taking reprisals against its nationals

    NAIROBI

    The Ethiopian Foreign Ministry on Saturday accused the Eritrean authorities of taking reprisals against Ethiopian civilians living in Eritrea, who were being subjected to killings, assaults and detentions. It quoted a message from the Ethiopian Embassy in Asmara as saying that 79 Ethiopians had been killed since 12 May and hundreds had been arrested and taken away to unknown destinations. Over the past two years, both Ethiopia and Eritrea have frequently accused each other of mistreatment and mass deportations of the other’s nationals.
