The US says it is neutral to the conflict in Ethiopia, even as Washington and a number of Western countries ordered their nationals out of the Horn of Africa country over rising possibility of violence.
Jeffrey Feltman, the US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa, told a virtual press briefing that Washington will not take sides in the conflict but will push parties to find a solution to their problem through peaceful means.
