Technically, Ethiopia is a signatory to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol as well as the 1969 Organization of African Unity (OAU) Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, and nearly all refugees entering Ethiopia are granted asylum on a prima facie basis, but Muhamad told me he is not willing to apply for asylum in Ethiopia.
Kitaalamu, Ethiopia ni moja ya watia saini wa azimio la 1951 kuhusu hadhi ya wakimbizi na Protokali ya 1967 na pia 1969 Azimio la Umoja wa Afrika kuhusu utawala wa mambo ya msingi kuhusu matatizo ya wakimbizi barani Afrika na karibu wakimbizi wote wanaoingia Ethiopia hupewa hifadhi kwa msingi wa prima facie, lakini Muhamad aliniambia kuwa hana mpango wa kuomba hifadhi nchini Ethiopia.
