Actuellement, si on se fie à la presse ou au ministère des Affaires Etrangères français, il est déconseillé de voyager en Ethiopie: en fait, le seule région où il est fortement déconseillé de se rendre, sinon impossible est la région du Tigray.
Deuxième pays le plus peuplé d’Afrique, l’Ethiopie est un Etat africain bordé par le Soudan, la Somalie et l’Erythrée. Considéré comme un Etat fédéraliste, l’ancienne colonie italienne fait état d’une grande diversité ethnique et religieuse. Parmi ses régions, c’est le Tigray (ou Tigré) qui est actuellement au cœur de la tourmente qui saisit le pays depuis bientôt un an. Cette région du nord de l’Ethiopie, à la frontière avec l’Erythrée et le Soudan est peuplée de plus de 5 millions de Tigréens, possédant leur propre langue et culture.
Grand comme l’Autriche, le Tigray est devenu le théâtre de la guerre civile au moment où le Front de Libération du Peuple du Tigray (FLPT), principal mouvement politique de la région, a basculé de la simple opposition vers le séparatisme après le report des élections d’août 2020. Le 4 novembre dernier, le FLPT a fomenté un raid à l’encontre d’une caserne de l’armée éthiopienne, située dans la ville de Mekele, dans le but de récupérer du matériel et des armes.Le 2 novembre 2022, un accord de cessation des hostilités a été signé entre le gouvernement de l'Éthiopie et le Front populaire de libération du Tigré (TPLF). Cet accord n'a pas encore été pleinement mis en œuvre et il y a de l'incertitude quant à ses implications pour la sécurité dans la région. Donc il faut éviter cette région à tout prix.
Nous avions effectué un innoubliable voyage avec Ermias Borshe, un guide adorable, cultivè et débrouillard qui nous a fait connaitre l' Ethiopie chrétienne avec Gondar, Lalibella, Awum, lac Tana et Addis Abeba pendant les fetes religieuses de Genna et du Timkat puis le sud du pays avec la vallée de l'Omo et ses multiples ethnies. Ermias est en train de faire une nouvelle compagnie.

Les voyages qu'il propose:Je retranscrit son site en anglais.
Welcome to Ethiopia
Experience the only African nation that was never colonized and the only African nation that can boast 17 centuries of Christian tradition. A country so rich in history that four destinations in northern Ethiopia have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Nine in total). Ethiopia from the time of King Solomon and Queen of Sheba is a land filled with historical, cultural and natural treasures. Meanwhile, southern Ethiopia is a destination that is most unique where time has stood still. Visit the various tribal villages and nomads and be amazed at their current lifestyle, and social infrastructure that is reminiscent of bygone eras.
Above all things, It is a country of great antiquity with a culture and traditions dating back more than 3,000 years. This is Ethiopia.
Ermias organise 5 journées à Addis et autour d'Addis Abeba mais mon conseil est d’être à Addis pour la fête du Timkat. vous pouvez lire mon article sur cette fête qui dure 24 et qui célèbre, en fait, l’Épiphanie car les rois mages de la crèche seraient venus de l'Ethiopie.
