The Egyptian Embassy
in Addis Ababa sent an official note to the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry to
express its deep regret at the decision of Ethiopian authorities to deport
the manager of Egypt's official Middle East News Agency in Addis Ababa for
no apparent reason. "The ministry has formally asked the Ethiopian
authorities to provide explanations and clarifications for deporting
[MENA's office manager] without notifying the Egyptian Embassy in
Addis Ababa immediately once he was detained," spokesperson for
the Egyptian Foreign Ministry Badr Abdel Aaty said. Relations between
Cairo and Addis Ababa were strained after the latter started the
construction of the Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile, which Egypt says
would threaten its share of the Nile River water.
