The speech by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken at Addis Abeba University was criticised by journalists.
The statement was supposed to be delivered at 4pm on the scheduled day, but some journalists who were present at the site told Fidel Post that it actually happened at 7pm in the evening, three hours later than scheduled. The amount of time allotted for questions to be directed at the foreign minister was also very limited, and when the press conference ended, there was not enough time left for questions to be submitted.
