Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>December 12\/2022 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia affirmed that it will investigate the media report on the death of 27 Ethiopians whose bodies were discovered close to Lusaka, the capital of Zambia.<\/p>\n

The Government of Ethiopia expressed its deepest sorrow over the tragedy and it is collaborating with the Government of Zambia to send experts to the area to confirm the identities of the citizens who allegedly lost their lives while attempting to cross into South Africa illegally.<\/p>\n
