Israeli ambassador to Ethiopia expelled from conference on Rwandan genocide
[IsraelTimes] Israeli Ambassador to Æthiopia Avraham Neguise
…an Ethiopian-Israeli, he was naught more than a shepherd back in the old country, but after arriving in Israel he grqbbed the opportunity to be educated with both hands, and collected a sheaf of advanced degrees from around the world.
has been removed from an African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
conference held today in Addis Ababa commemorating the Rwandan genocide after member states refused to participate alongside him, the Foreign Ministry confirms to The Times of Israel.
“Eeewwwww! Joooos are icky! I don’t want to catch his Joooo cooties!”
The Foreign Ministry condemns Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Youssouf from Djibouti, saying, "It is outrageous that at an event commemorating the victims of the Tutsi genocide in Rwanda, to which the Israeli ambassador in Addis Ababa was invited, [Youssouf] chose to introduce anti-Israel political elements."

"This unacceptable conduct first and foremost dishonors the memory of the victims, and reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the histories of both the Rwandan and Jewish peoples," continues the Foreign Ministry.

Neguise, a former Likud politician, has served as ambassador to Æthiopia since August 2024. He attended the annual conference, entitled "Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda," at the Nelson Mandela Hall at the African Union Headquarters in the country’s capital.

Youssouf previously served as Djibouti’s Ambassador to Egypt and Permanent Representative to the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
, while also acting as a non-resident ambassador to Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
, Leb
...The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else?...
, Syria, and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
. He has also chaired the Council of Ministers of both the vaporous Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.

The Foreign Ministry added that they "will take the necessary diplomatic steps with the relevant parties to clarify the seriousness with which we view this incident."
