DOZENS OF ETHIOPIAN MEN MASS UP AT RUSSIAN EMBASSY TO FIGHT AGAINST UKRAINE
DOZENS of Ethiopian men mass up at Russian Embassy to fight for Russia. The men continue to gather in front of Russian embassy in ETHIOPIAN capital Addis Ababa for about two days now.
The young men said they have been told soldiers are being recruited to fight in Ukraine, and they were ready to fight for the Russian army.
A video shared by Reuters on twitter disclosed their willingness to fight for Russia. Some say they would like to be enlisted into the Russian army so they could stay in Russia forever when the war is finally over.
Some of the Ethiopian men gave account of the hardships they are facing in the country and are willing to take this opportunity to better their lives and that of their families. Some also say they do not intend to fight against Ukraine but it has become necessary to do so because of their current status (hardship).
