[Revelations]

Since March, the United States has held three secret meetings outside Ethiopia — in Djibouti and in the Seychelles — bringing together warring leaders for the first time since the war erupted in November 2020.

Details of the latest meeting on Sept. 9, which was attended by Abiy’s national security adviser, Redwan Hussien, and his justice minister, Gedion Timothewos, were provided by Western and Tigrayan officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss events that the Americans insisted should remain confidential.

A U.S. official confirmed that a U.S. Air Force Beechcraft aircraft had operated the flight across Tigray on behalf of the State Department.

Two months later, on March 10, a U.S. Army Beechcraft airplane carried Tsadkan, the Tigrayan general, to the Seychelles, where he met in a hotel with Field Marshal Birhanu Jula, the head of the Ethiopian military.

The two men hammered out a humanitarian truce that, weeks later, allowed aid convoys to roll back into Tigray. A second American-brokered meeting took place in Djibouti in June.

Why did they leak this now?

To create rift between abiy and isayas

That’s assuming abiy kept isayas in the dark

Not a safe assumption though

Isayas probably knows what goes on in abiy’s administration, more than abiy himself

You must be kidding!

Do you think that the Eritrean president dislikes peace, specially when being promoted and managed by his friend, PM Abiy? I guess not!
Because you are in the dark does not meant that significant others are also in the dark like you. The principle of "Need to know" applies here.

What is your feeling about this leak, eden? Frustrated, confused, angry, sad... let us know.

FYI we are not surprised about the meetings. Rumors were circulating about it even on this forum. The details could have beeen salacious but delivered late, they get stale and lose their appeal.
