@USEmbassyAddis @flyethiopian @Boeing Happy 80th to Ethiopian Airlines! ✈️ Africa DV-2026 cut-off: 55,000 | Addis Ababa processed: ~9,900. Our 10XXX–45XXX cases are ready—please increase slots June–Sept before Sept 30 2026! #IncreaseDVInterviewSlots #AmbassadorMassinga #JusticeForDVWinners #TravelGov #VisaNavigator

Happy birthday and congratulations to @flyethiopian on 80 years of excellence in aviation! The U.S. Embassy celebrates this milestone alongside Ethiopian Airlines, a strong partner of U.S.-based companies. Africa's biggest carrier is largely powered by @Boeing aircraft, which enable commerce across the continent and support more than 100,000 jobs at home in the United States. Beginning in 1945, American Company TWA partnered with the government of Ethiopia to help found Ethiopian Airlines. American aviator Col. John Charles Robinson laid the groundwork for the airline's training program in its early days. We wish Ethiopian Airlines continued success, growth, and many more years of bringing people together across the skies. #FlyEthiopian

@USEmbassyAddis Dear Consular Officer, Thousands of DV-2026 winners in Addis Ababa (CN 10k–45k+) are waiting while Africa regional cut-off is 55,000. Only 4 months remain (June–Sept). Please increase interview capacity 🙏 #AddisAbabaEmbassy #VisaNavigator #TravelGov #AmbassadorMassinga

@BritSimonSays @MikuMak79295 @USEmbassyAddis @curtismorrison Exactly! The embassy must manage capacity, but thousands of DV-2026 selectees in Ethiopia (CN 10k–35k, including mine 24k) are ready & current. With only 9,900 scheduled so far, many risk missing Sept 30. Expanded June slots are critical ⏰ #VisaNavigator #TravelGov

@SheSweety439647 @MikuMak79295 @USEmbassyAddis @curtismorrison Yes - that is the only solution - the embassy have a responsibility to set their own capacity, BUT they should do so knowing that DV cases only have until September 30th.

@BritSimonSays @MikuMak79295 @USEmbassyAddis @curtismorrison My case number is 24k and Many of us are ready & current, but the embassy is still scheduling only up to 9,900. We need increased DV interview slots ⏰ #VisaNavigator #DVJusticeVoice #DV2026AddisAbaba #IncreaseDVInterviewSlots #AmbassadorMassinga #DV2026Ethiopia #SaveDV2026

@SheSweety439647 @MikuMak79295 @USEmbassyAddis @curtismorrison What is your case number range?

@USEmbassyAddis @USEmbassyAddis Dear U.S. Embassy Addis Ababa. TIME IS RUNNING OUT Africa cutoff is 55,000, yet thousands in Ethiopia (CN 10k–45k) still await 2NLs. Please EXPAND DV interview slots for June before Sept 30. We are ready. #VisaNavigator #TravelGov #AmbassadorMassinga

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Ambassador Konjit Sene Georgis, a distinguished and veteran diplomat. On behalf of the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa, we extend our condolences to her family, friends, and all Ethiopians. Ambassador Konjit was a prominent woman in the diplomatic world, representing Ethiopia with exceptional dedication. Her legacy will continue to inspire. Ambassador Konjit's career included significant time in the United States. She served at the Ethiopian Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York and was a recipient of the prestigious Carnegie Fellowship at Columbia University in New York in 1963, where she deepened her expertise and built lasting connections between our two nations. #US_Ethiopia
