HUNDREDS OF ETHIOPIANS VOLUNTEER TO FIGHT FOR RUSSIA IN UKRAINE

Hundreds of Ethiopians are lining up outside the Russian embassy in Ethiopia in hopes of fighting for Russia in the war against Ukraine.  Several of them, mostly men, were seen registering their names with Ethiopian security guards outside the Russian embassy. While the men were not seen entering the establishment, they were asked to provide proof of previous military experience. A man who came out of the embassy later told the Ethiopian men that they will be contacted when they were needed, adding that Russia had enough forces in Ukraine.  Many Ethiopians went to the embassy after a social media post claimed fighters who will join the war could receive a payment of two thousand dollars.
