Event: Media continue to report sporadic on-going unrest in various parts of Ethiopia’s Somali region. While the unrest appears to be centered around Jijiga, there are reports of incidents of violence in Dire Dawa and other areas of the Somali region. US Embassy personnel are avoiding the region until the situation returns to normal and we encourage Americans to do the same. Those who find themselves in the area should shelter in place and pay attention to local media for the latest developments.
Actions to Take:
· Monitor local media for breaking events.
· Avoid large crowds and demonstrations
· Be aware of your surroundings.
· Keep a low profile.
