Secretary-General Antonio Guterres pressed the country’s ambassador for documentation of the allegations.
“Ethiopia deeply resents this experience,” the ambassador said, adding that the government had written to the U.N. about staff conduct in July.A surprised Guterres responded that he had known nothing of these allegations and that he had twice asked Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to send him details on any concerns about the impartiality of U.N. staffers.the officials, took a rare step for a secretary-general by responding directly in the council chamber.
The conflict began as a political dispute after Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed sidelined the Tigrayan regional party that had dominated Ethiopia’s government for decades. The clash spiraled into a war that has killed thousands of people and a hunger crisis that threatens still more. Five of the officials expelled work with the U.N. humanitarian agency, another is with the U.N. human rights office and the seventh is with UNICEF, the U.N. children’s agency.
Asked later about the Ethiopian envoy’s accusations, she said the U.S. wanted to see the allegations and “where they’re coming from,” but it “raises some concerns” that they emerged after the officials were kicked out. But representatives for China and Tunisia — the latter speaking for the council’s three African members plus St. Vincent and the Grenadines — called for “quiet diplomacy.”

😂😂 that's a new allegation. Lol
TigrayMundo Lie & accusing without evidence is the new norm in Ethiopia at this time. They are systematically delaying aid to the needy and now the agenda is about UN staff instead of aid delivery.
Đoạn Thế Trường :) :D
The Egyptians (Israel Arab ally) complaints over the Dam that Ethiopia is building is the impetus behind the anti-Ethiopian propaganda has been promoting and the pressure from the UN. We live under a corrupt world government of White Supremacy that must come to an end.
how did the president of Ethiopia get a Nobel Peace Prize this is getting ludicrous oh and Drump got nominated
Documents were sent July 08, but when Ethiopia provides more damning evidence surely and all other MSMs will love the goal post.
