The United Nations warned Ethiopia on Friday that it has no legal right to expel seven UN officials it accused of “meddling” in the country’s affairs, as famine looms in the conflict-mired region of Tigray.

Pick.
Expel them? Offer to have the worst street gang host their stay.
then throw them in jail under charges...
Fingers crossed Ethiopia gives these creeps the boot.
