Ethiopia government gives condition for possible ceasefire with rebels

The Spokesman of the Foreign Ministry, Dina Mufti, disclosed that one of the conditions would be for the TPLF to withdraw from the Amhara and Afar regions bordering Tigray.

Mufti also asked the rebel forces to recognize the legitimacy of the Abiy Ahmed-led government.

Prime Minister Ahmed’s government has been locked in a year-long war with fighters from the northern Tigray region who have pushed south in recent months and have not ruled out a possible march on the capital, Addis Ababa.
