Report: EU to freeze Ethiopia aid money
By EUobserver
The EU is preparing to freeze €90 million of budgetary support for Ethiopia after it launched an attack against rebels in the northern Tigray region last month, according to EU officials cited by the Bloomberg news agency. "The EU will take further decisions on budget support for Ethiopia in light of developments on the ground," an EU spokeswoman also said, amid reports of human rights atrocities committed by government forces.
