The US Special Envoy for the Horn of African Jeffrey Feltman will start on Thursday a trip to the UAE, Egypt, and Turkey to discuss international efforts for a diplomatic resolution to end the conflict in Ethiopia, the State Department said on Wednesday.
TPLF leader has recently accused three Middle Eastern powers of supplying arms to the Ethiopian government. Debretsion Gebremichael, the TPLF leader, said UAE, Iran, and Turkey were party to the conflict by arming Addis with weapons and drones.
Debretsion demanded that the three be advised to “cease supplying weapons to the federal government of Ethiopia” because “these weapons are used to attack civilians and civilian targets in total violation of international humanitarian law and their use is escalating war and further destabilizing Ethiopia.”

US envoy for Africa to visit UAE, Turkey, Egypt to discuss Ethiopia conflict
US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa Jeffrey Feltman will depart Thursday for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Turkey and Egypt to discuss the Ethiopian conflict, a State Department spokesman said Wednesday.
Ned Price said Feltman will discuss with his counterparts "what it is that the international community seeks when it comes to Ethiopia, and that is chiefly a negotiated resolution to the conflict because we know that the conflict threatens the peace and security in the Horn of Africa."
Price reiterated that there is no military solution to the conflict in Ethiopia.
Feltman is leaving to pursue support for diplomacy as the first and the only option to achieve a cessation of hostilities, Price said at a news conference
