A number of brilliant Ethiopian career diplomats were forced out/ have left on their own accord in recent years because of the following main reasons:

The Ethiopian Foreign Ministry is hollowed from inside - the wishes & desires of the politicians and their personal friendshps with foreign leaders instead of research and analysis guide the country's foreign policy.

The govt's sysytematic attack on the long-standing pillars of the country's diplomacy - multilateralism, collective security, peaceful conflict resolution. Today, it's sad to see that the country's foreign policy is mostly coercive, transactional and guided by shallow tactical objectives.
