The Government of Ethiopia is safely returning Eritrean refugees to their respective camps where they can have access to service delivery systems and live peacefully, Ethiopia State of Emergency Fact Check said.

The Ethiopia refugee operation is now home to close to 200,000 Eritrean refugees across the country, most of them mainly sheltered in Tigray and Afar regions as well as in Addis Ababa.

The recently concluded law enforcement military operation by the federal government in the Tigray region of Ethiopia was not a direct threat to the Eritrean refugees who are living within and outside the camps, the Emergency Fact Check stated.

However, a large number of misinformed Eritrean refugees have been moving out in an irregular manner, particularly from Mai-Ayni and Adi-Harush refugee camps to Addis Ababa.

The statement noted that such an unregulated movement of the refugees with high dependence on aid will create difficulties in ensuring their safety, security, dignity, and in providing a coordinated protection and assistance.

 

Given the priority the government gives to humanitarian assistance, the refugees were kept in a dignified manner and sheltered and nurtured by the government, it pointed out.
