The Bureau of Consular Affairs stated again today to reiterate that the government urging U.S. citizens to leave Ethiopia now while commercial flight options are available.

Department of State personnel goes to great lengths to assist U.S. citizens in crisis as long as it is safe to do so.  The U.S. embassy is unlikely to be able to assist U.S. citizens in Ethiopia with departure if commercial options become unavailable.

U.S. citizens wishing to depart Ethiopia currently have multiple options via commercial flights from Bole International Airport.  U.S. citizens having difficulty securing a flight or who need assistance to return to the United States should please contact the government for guidance.  The embassy can also provide a repatriation loan for U.S. citizens who cannot afford at this time to purchase a commercial ticket to the United States.

If a U.S. citizen is delaying their departure because their non-U.S. citizen spouse or minor children do not have immigrant visas or U.S. passports, please, contact the embassy immediately.  Similarly, if a non-U.S. citizen parent of a U.S. citizen minor does not have a valid U.S. visa or other documents valid for entry to the United States.
