STATEMENT
BY

HIS EXCELLENCY HON. UHURU KENYATTA, C.G.H., PRESIDENT
OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF

THE DEFENCE FORCES
ON ETHIOPIA CONFLICT
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND 2022

1. As President of the Republic of Kenya and friend of the brotherly
people of Ethiopia, I join the Secretary General of the United Nations, H.E.
António GUTERRES, in appealing to all parties to cease hostilities in the
ongoing conflict in our neighbouring country of Ethiopia.


2. The ongoing conflict continues to rob and deprive the people of
Ethiopia, the dignity and honour inherently interwoven in the culture and
civilization of this great nation.


3. The promise of a peaceful, secure, and stable Ethiopia will only be
realised by the ability of all parties in Ethiopia to surmount challenges in
ways that are both sustainable and acceptable to all the people of
Ethiopia
. Indeed, an all-inclusive national dialogue, conducted in the spirit
of compromise and accommodation, will go a long way in easing the
burden of conflict to all the affected communities throughout Ethiopia.

4. I call on the people of Ethiopia, in the spirit of the Olympic Truce,
to embrace peace and pave the way for genuine reconciliation. The
prosperity of Ethiopia, our region, and, indeed, our continent, has to be
anchored in an enduring peace and security, and affirm belief that
together, we can create a better world.
