(July 24, 2012, DUBAI )--Ethiopia has banned its citizens from applying for domestic or
blue-collar jobs in the UAE until an agreement can be reached to protect
their rights. The Ethiopian consul general said the freeze was a temporary move aimed at rooting out unscrupulous recruiters and abuse.
"We have suspended labour from Ethiopia to the UAE because a number of recruitment agencies are working illegally," said Mesganu Arga Moach. "We want an agreement with the UAE that ensures our nationals' rights
"We receive five to 10 complaints a day from our citizens of abuse, unpaid salaries and people being beaten. It's bad." The UAE Embassy in Addis Ababa said it was aware of the suspension.
"This is temporary to regulate and safeguard people," said Dr Yousif Eisa Hassan Alsabri, the UAE ambassador to Ethiopia. "It is good for the UAE and for Ethiopia. We are studying the matter and will send a report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who will decide what to do." Read more from The National »
