Tigray rebels say they are ready for a ceasefire and African Union-led peace talks with Ethiopian government as humanitarian disaster surges in the war-torn African country
The Ethiopian government has previously said it was ready for unconditional talks"anytime, anywhere," brokered by the Addis Ababa-headquartered AU.
"The government of Tigray is prepared to participate in a robust peace process under the auspices of the African Union," said a statement by the Tigrayan authorities. The Tigray People's Liberation Front had until now vehemently opposed the role of the AU's Horn of Africa envoy Olusegun Obasanjo, protesting at his "proximity" to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
The AU's Faki had held halks on Saturday with both Obasanjo, the former Nigerian president, and visiting US envoy for the Horn of Africa, Mike Hammer.
