US Special Envoy Jeffrey Feltman arrives in Ethiopia as tensions in the country's Tigray region escalate
There is growing global concern over the declaration of a state of emergency in Ethiopia, and the escalation of violence in Ethiopia's Tigray region.
The war that has killed thousands of people and displaced millions since November 2020 now threatens to engulf Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. "We have reiterated our calls for all parties to end hostilities immediately, that includes the TPLF. That includes the Ethiopian government. We call on them to enter negotiations without preconditions towards a sustainable ceasefire," Price said.Feltman, who this week insisted that “there are many, many ways to initiate discreet talks” toward peace, met on Thursday with Ethiopia’s deputy prime minister and ministers of defense and finance, and his visit continues on Friday.
