In Ethiopia, Under Secretary Zeya will engage leaders from the Ethiopian government, African Union, and civil society on the protection of human rights throughout Ethiopia, the importance of inclusive, transparent transitional justice, and advancing the protections of refugees, displaced persons, and humanitarian workers.  Additionally, the Under Secretary will visit a refugee center providing child protection, education, and health care to underscore U.S. partnerships to support refugees and host communities, as the single largest donor of humanitarian assistance to Ethiopia.
