Mr. Abiy was speaking at a ceremony for participants and sponsors of the peace process in Tigray, a region in northern Ethiopia where a peace agreement signed on November 2 ended two years of conflict between the Ethiopian government and local authorities who rebelled against the national government..
“The OLA confirms Abiy Ahmed’s statements and can attest that the Ethiopian regime has accepted our conditions for peace negotiations, which include the involvement of an independent third party mediator and a commitment to maintain transparency throughout the process,” according to a statement released overnight.
