   The Ethiopian government has temporarily banned its citizens from traveling
   abroad for employment. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the travel ban
   is aimed at curbing what it calls “the rising tide of abuse and
   exploitation” of migrants from the country. It says the ban will remain
   until issues surrounding employment of Ethiopians abroad are addressed.

   Other Ethiopian migrants have died at sea, traveling on unsafe smuggling
   boats destined for Yemen or Italy. The foreign affairs ministry says the
   government has suspended the licenses of foreign employment agencies as
   part of the new restrictions.

   On Africa speaks we seek answers on whether the ban will puts things right
   and also if employment opportunities are being provided to divert the urge
   to seek employment abroad. On the show +Dorothy Ngila , +samuel gebre , +Melat

4. This was such an enlightening discussion putting the Ethiopian immigrant
   problem in perspective. I enjoyed the amazing contributions but I was
   particularly impressed by Melat Mengesha’s analysis of the root causes of
   the problem. Such a brilliant young lady!

6. The only problem that Africa has is an administrative problem. The
   governments are the most corrupted one. This is the only thing that drag
   and keep us at back. Most people say population is a factor for our
   poorness, but we should also remember population is an asset for a country.
