Foreign Ministry advised Bulgarians not to visit Ethiopian regions Amhara and Tigray due to the declared state of emergency. The two regions are home to some of Ethiopia's most important historical sites - the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, as well as the towns of Gondar and Bahir Dar, the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.

Ethiopia's federal government declared a state of emergency on August 4 after several days of clashes between the military and local militia in Amhara.
