Moscow (Sputnik) – The High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Union, Josep Borrell, has strongly condemned the expulsion of seven United Nations officials from Ethiopia.

“The European Union and its member states strongly condemn the decision by the Ethiopian government to expel seven United Nations officials, as well as the persistent daily impediments to providing aid to those in need in the Tigray “And other parts of northern Ethiopia,” Borrell said on his Twitter account on Tuesday morning.

In a statement issued last night, the head of European diplomacy warned that this decision could “further undermine the possibility of providing relief to millions of Ethiopians in desperate humanitarian situations.”

Borrell urged the government of Ethiopia to reverse its decision immediately and called on all parties to the conflict to protect humanitarian workers and provide them with free and safe access, in accordance with international law.
