Disgusted by Ethiopian support of Russian invasion of Ukraine, the UK Minister for Africa met Ethiopian Finance Minister Ahmed Shide adorned with national colours of Ukraine
I met with
Finance Minister Ahmed Shide @MoF_Ethiopia again today. Good conversation on progress towards peace in Ethiopia, the critical need for humanitarian access and the UK’s support to people across the whole country.
Wearing blue dress, she said "I have tied a yellow kerchief around my neck as blue and yellow are the national colours of Ukraine. It’s a tiny act on my behalf but I know the brave people of Ukraine value every bit of support that is given. I fear it may be a long time before they are safe."
