US emissaries were on Friday pushing for a ceasefire in Ethiopia in the latest bid to have the government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) engage in dialogue.
Sources told The EastAfrican that representatives of the two parties gathered in Djibouti for mediation by Washington’s envoys, even as both sides publicly traded accusations of starting the war.
