Briefing with Senior State Department Official on the Situation in Ethiopia
Posted: 16 Nov 2022, 02:58
SENIOR STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL: Yeah, thank you very much, Daphne. Appreciate the question. Certainly, the agreement calls for the withdrawal of, as you pointed out, not only Eritrean forces but Amhara special forces and Afar militia that are currently in Tigray. I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves in terms of what will happen if these commitments aren’t abided by, because what we’re hearing from the Government of Ethiopia and certainly from the other side in terms of the Tigrayan authorities is that they are committed to ensuring that this happens.
