Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Ethiopia\u2019s Prime minister has said there will be negotiations on a cease-fire between his government and the rival Tigray forces who have been waging war for almost 15 months, the chairman of a diaspora group that had a private meeting with him said.<\/b><\/p>\n

Negotiations on a cease-fire between Ethiopia\u2019s government and Tigray forces could take place. The chairman of the American Ethiopian Public Affairs Committee, told the Associated Press on Tuesday, Prime minister Abiy Ahmed was contemplating the option. Abiy has never said so publicly as international mediation efforts continue amid one of the worst humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n

Mesfin Tegenu revealed he discussed privately with the Ethiopian chief of government on Saturday. The man described the tone and the five-hour meeting with Abyi as \u201ca very earnest desire to stop this thing. … Of course, the other side must be willing.\u201d The prime minister \u201csaid that there will be reasonable negotiations, that will keep the interest of the integrity of the nation first,\u201d and the new U.S. special envoy who visited Ethiopia last week \u201cwould have ideas\u201d about the process, Mesfin said. They want the population to push the TPLF to negotiate, Mesfin said of Abiy\u2019s government.<\/p>\n

There was no comment on the chairman\u2019s account from Abiy\u2019s spokeswoman, or from the Tigray forces spokesman. The decision not to pursue was an unpopular one for many Ethiopians, Mesfin told the AP. \u201cMost people wanted (the prime minister) to advance, really finish this war,\u201d he said. That\u2019s why his committee requested a meeting, he said. They expected Abiy\u2019s deputy or chief of staff to attend, but the prime minister walked in.<\/p>\n

The Tigray People’s Liberation front announced it had resumed fighting with the federal governemnt allies on Monday, citing a move compelled by \u201crepeated attacks\u201d. The fighting has been blamed for the latest delays in aid delivery to Tigray along what is considered the only open land route for humanitarian deliveries. The United Nations last week said food distribution in Tigray has reached its \u201call-time lowest\u201d while more than 50,000 children are thought to be severely malnourished.<\/p>\n

The war shifted late last month when the Tigray forces, retreated into their northern region under pressure from a drone-supported military offensive. Since the war erupted in November 2020, around tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced.<\/p>\n
