Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF), an armed rebel group which is fighting Ethiopian national army and  its allied forces in northern Ethiopia, on Saturday said it is ready to cooperate with the US government to end a nearly one year-long civil war in the horn of Africa's nation.

The group was responding to a new decree signed on Friday by US President Joe Biden which authorises broad sanctions targeting parties involved in the Tigray conflict.
