#US Ambassador arrives in #Tigray amidst political tension: calls for ‘peaceful dialogue’ to resolve disputes
U.S. Ambassador Ervin J. Massinga arrived in Tigray on 26 August, 2024, to emphasize “the importance of resolving political disputes through peaceful dialogue,” according to the American Embassy in #Addis_Abeba. His three-day visit includes meetings with regional officials to discuss the implementation of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (COHA) and visits to U.S.-supported projects.
The visit takes place against the backdrop of internal tensions within the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (#TPLF), where a rift has developed between TPLF Chairman Debretsion Gebremichael and Getachew Reda, President of the Tigray Interim Administration.
