NAIROBI: Ethiopia said it was kicking out seven United Nations officials whom it accused of 'meddling' in the country's internal affairs, as pressure grows on the government over its deadly blockade of the Tigray region. The expulsions are the government's most dramatic move yet to restrict humanitarian access to the region of 6 million people after nearly a year of war. The UN has become increasingly outspoken as the flow of medical supplies, food and fuel has been brought to a near-halt.
