Americans Leave Ethiopia as Leftists Close Facilities
About 300 Americans were set to depart Ethiopia as the leftist government ordered the closure of five U S facilities in Addis Ababa and consulates in Asmara Eritrea. The State Department said roughly 100 staff and 200 dependents would fly out within days with access to facilities and security arranged. The closures target the U S Information Service Center Military Assistance Advisory Group Naval Medical Research Center Kagnew radio center and the U S Consulate in Asmara amid Eritrean Front actions. The government cites objectives of its socialist revolution and nonaligned policy. The Carter administration froze a six million dollar military aid package earlier, amid arms transfers from the Soviet Union, including T 34 tanks and armored personnel carriers. No explanation was given for the Asmara consulate closures.
