| dc.description.abstract | When the regulations governing refugee-host community interactions become loose, the refugees might influence the host community's socio-economic structure. This study examined the situation of Eritrean refugees while interacting with Ethiopian nationals in Addis Ababa. The study utilized the descriptive qualitative method through purposive sampling. Twelve Eritrean refugees, 11 Ethiopian national residents, and nine employees of the government refugee agency participants were interviewed. The interview identified five themes: the route and travel conditions, Addis Ababa as a transit destination, the two safety features, interaction and actions, and government support. The findings of the study revealed that the way the Eritrean refugees lived with host communities disrupted the living conditions. Understanding this can help responsible agencies such as RRS, the city administration of Addis Ababa, and UNHCR prioritize and respond primarily to the safety and economic burden of the host community.
