#NewsAlert: EU Council sees not enough progress in Ethiopia to normalize relations
Addis Standard


progress must be made from “restoring basic services in Tigray [to] lifting restrictions on fuel and fertilizers.”

Addis Abeba – After a meeting today by the Council of the European Union, the EU has decided that although there is “some progress” in Ethiopia, it is “not enough for the full normalization” relationships between the EU and Ethiopia.

Speaking after the meeting, Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President, the situation in Ethiopia was “the big discussion.” The Council believes “there is some progress but not enough for the full normalization of our relationship.”

According to Mr Borrell, although there has been progress the EU “should be cautious and any move should be conditional and transactional, depending on the improvement of humanitarian access.”

In particular, the High representative said progress must be made from “restoring basic services in Tigray [to] lifting restrictions on fuel and fertilizers.”

“This is the most pressing issue to save millions of people from death,” he said. AS

“ our relationship with Ethiopia,” an interesting phrase.

I don't understand. Is there any spelling error or something?

While in Mekelle, I met with the President of the Tigray Regional State Debretsion Gebremichael.

It was important to hear directly also from the regional authorities, their assessment from the ground, most notably about the dire humanitarian situation the Tigrayans are facing.
