Ethiopian migrant workers have been sleeping outside of the Ethiopian consulate in Beirut, which has shut its doors to them. many are stranded without food or money, with their passports in the hands of their “employers” (Kafala system), and have no way to get back home. https://t.co/W67KlvLk8B

Video was sent to me from Beirut, Lebanon today. Dozens of Ethiopian domestic workers have been camped outside the Ethiopian consulate after their employers refuse to pay & just abandoned them here. They eat, sleep, live outdoors. @Amnesty has released a statement on this today. pic.twitter.com/Xve8Cb2yH2

I just spent sometime with these amazing Ethiopian ladies protesting in front of the Ethiopian embassy in Hazmieh on behalf of all migrant workers here.
They want to return to #Ethiopia but their embassy is not being cooperative or transparent with them. #COVIDー19 pic.twitter.com/NNJqcVkONJ
