Talk:Ethiopia–United States relations

Misc.

I placed the POV tag when creating the article because it is pasted from a US government website. Because this comes from a US govt source it may not be neutral, but I don't have the expertise to judge. (Hopefully others that know more will simply remove the tag if they think the article looks okay.) Mangostar (talk) 22:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it leaves a lot out. For example, Haile Selassie skilfully extracted a great deal of foreign aid from the US, obtaining far more for his country than the rest of Africa combined! For the pre-WWII era, the US had extensive economic interests in this country; a very extensive article could be written on African-American-Ethiopia relations! Then there was the strategic shift during the Ogaden War, when the Derg got cozy with the Soviet Union, & Somalia then sided with the US, who was then thrown out of Ethiopia. Lastly, there is the Carter Center's role in the 2005 elections (they were played as chumps). -- llywrch (talk) 18:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

"Needs to be updated"?

For what purpose has the "needs to be updated" notice been placed into the article? I'm not sure what there is to update. Lesswealth (talk) 19:37, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Needs to be updated to include the threatening of sanctions on Ethiopian officials

Recently, President Biden has threatened to place sanctions on Ethiopian and Eritrean officials due to their involvement in the Tigray War. I think this is worthy of being mentioned. https://web.archive.org/web/20211017071357/https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/17/world/africa/biden-ethiopia-tigray-sanctions.html TheGreatCooLite (talk) 17:11, 17 October 2021 (UTC)TheGreatCooLite
