Toronto – Somaliland government recently reported that Ethiopia is upgrading its consular office in Hargeisa to Embassy level. 

Toronto – The Ethiopian government on Thursday made another remark in connection with the U.S. Ambassador’s recent “policy speech” made at the “American Gibbi” in Addis Ababa.

Dear Ambassador Massinga:  I have paid close attention to your policy address on human rights and national dialogue, delivered on May 15 during your visit to the American Gibbi in Addis Ababa. Your reflection on the Yekatit 12 Massacre of 1937 was touching and hopefully, the message you conveyed will be heeded. Your call for a ceasefire is both important and timely, stressing as it does the urgent need for government and armed forces alike to agree to a cessation of hostilities and to engage in meaningful dialogue.
