Ethiopian government open to talks in hopes of resolving conflict in country’s northern crisis

The Ethiopian government says it is ready at any time and at any place suggested to engage in peace talks under the auspices of an African Union-led process. The rebel forces, the Tigray People Liberation Front have also expressed a desire for peace negotiations but mistrust between it and the government is showing up again as it accuses the government of provoking its forces.

The United Nations says the conflict in the country’s North that began in November 2020 has now forced over 9 million people to be in need of humanitarian assistance in that region.

A peace committee tasked by the Ethiopian government to guide it toward a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the country’s North has come up with what it calls “a peace proposal”.

“Firstly, it proposes for peace talks to happen within the coming weeks towards an agreed ceasefire. Secondly, it proposes to undertake an in-depth political dialogue leading towards a lasting settlement. Thirdly, it proposes for other pending issues to be addressed through a national dialogue,” says Spokesperson of Ethiopia Prime Minister Office Billene Seyoum.
