Awet Gebremehdin (went from to ), who finished Lombardy and the Giro d'Italia last year, is stuck in Ethiopia. He went to visit his family which had fleed there, and now they are in hiding in the Tigray region, where a civil war is brewing
Pretty much all talented Ethopians who were up-and-coming are from Tigray, basically the only Ethiopian region where cycling is a thing (thanks to it's connection with Eritrea), but that's all going down the drain rapidly now.
Hopefully things calm down there, but considering things like history it's hard to imagine it will actually calm down
