Hi there, the border actually is not closed. Visas are no longer issued in Nairobi unless you are a resident or have a work permit for Kenya. The only way to get your visa is to send it back home and request it there or to get it in advance (if possible). 2 ways into Ethiopia: via Moyale road or via Lake Turkana. On both points there are immigration offices so you do need a visa. Lake Turkana road is not advisable after and during the rains. Check locally what the conditions are on that route. Hope this helps future travelers.
