With the youth unemployment rate
officially estimated at more than 50% and the latest mediterranean accidents
involving its citizens, Ethiopia's government has temporarily banned its
citizens from travelling abroad to look for work. The foreign ministry was
quoted as saying countless Ethiopians had lost their lives or undergone untold physical
and psychological trauma because of illegal human trafficking. The travel ban
will remain in place until a "lasting solution" is found, while
Employment agencies will also be barred from facilitating travel abroad. The
scarcity of job openings is a major factor fuelling emigration from Ethiopia. What
do you think about this move?
