Northern (N): Yugoslavia (NU). Political Relations: Ethiopia

1964

A file of correspondence concerning Yugoslav diplomatic officials in Ethiopia. The documents discuss the dismissal of Janko Janjetovi?, the Inspector-General of the Ethiopian Ministry of Posts, Telephones, and Telegraphs, as part of the Ethiopian government's general policy of removing foreign advisors if their post can also be filled by an Ethiopian. The documents also note that Janjetovi?, a "passionate communist", was "very much a power in this land"; that Janjetovi? had spent eight months in Britain on a scholarship and emerged "passionately anti-British"; and that Janjetovi? had been spending much of his time in Ethiopia "destroying the British" by "saying we were a decadent and incompetent people". Other documents comment on the British embassy's intention to study the influence of foreign officials in Ethiopia.
