ADDIS ABABA, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Ethiopia Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) announced on Friday it has repatriated 4,168 nationals in last two weeks from Middle Eastern and African countries.

The Ethiopian nationals were repatriated from Tanzania, Libya and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Speaking to local and foreign media outlets, Meles Alem, Spokesperson at MoFA, said the government repatriated the nationals with the joint efforts of Tanzanian, Libyan and UAE authorities.
