Ethiopian officials on Wednesday continued to insist they were in control of the Tigray situation.
Demeke Mekonnen, Ethiopia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs, arrived in DR Congo's capital Kinshasa on his latest shuttle diplomacy tour, telling his hosts why Ethiopia must crush the Tigray People’s Liberation Movement.
