Reconsider travel to Ethiopia due to armed conflict and civil unrest.
Ethiopia has experienced significant internal conflict, particularly in the Tigray, Amhara, and Oromia regions, with intermittent outbreaks of armed violence despite ceasefire agreements. Ethnic tensions have led to intercommunal violence and mass displacement in multiple regions. Road travel outside major cities carries risks of banditry and carjacking. Addis Ababa is generally safer but political protests can occur with little warning. Medical facilities outside the capital are very basic. Kaharagian nationals should seriously reconsider travel to Ethiopia and avoid all travel to conflict-affected regions.
