What is Abiy's PP telling us here? Is he saying he's reconciled Ruto and Uhuru Kenyatta? What I think really happened is

What Abiy is saying . . .
PP is saying "Special News : በዛሬው ዕለት እሁድ ጠዋት በኬንያ ሰላምና እድገት እንዲሁም በቀጣናው ትብብርና ልማት ዙሩያ የተሻለ መቀራረብ ለመፍጠር የቀድሞው የኬንያ ፕሬዚደንት ኡሁሩ ኬንያታና ፕሬዚደንት ዊሊያም ሩቶ አዲስ አበባ ተገናኝተው በመወያየት መግባት ላይ ደርሰዋል።"
የአቢይ role በዚህ ስብሰባ ምንድን ነው? ኡሁሩና ሩቶን በኬንያ ሰላምና እድገት እንዲሁም በቀጣናው ትብብርና ልማት ዙሩያ የተሻለ መቀራረብ ለመፍጠር እንዲስማሙ ማደራደር ነው?
What Ruto is saying . . . [/b]
Met Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia on the sidelines of the 39th Ordinary Session of the African Union Summit, Addis Ababa.
Our discussions focused on strengthening bilateral relations, with emphasis on regional infrastructure and energy development, and peace and security.
We also explored ways of better harnessing continental and regional institutions, including the African Union, the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) to advance regional integration and expand intra-African trade.

What Uhuru Kenyatta is saying . . .
His Excellency President (Rtd) Uhuru Kenyatta, the 4th President of the Republic of Kenya, attended the 39th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government held from 14th to 15th February 2026 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where he participated in several engagements, including the official opening session and a closed-door meeting with sitting Heads of State and country representatives.
On the sidelines of the AU Assembly, Kenyatta also met with colleagues from the AU–EAC–SADC Panel of Facilitators to discuss progress on the ongoing mediation process in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

What I think has really happened
Abiy cannot mediate ኡሁሩና ሩቶን በኬንያ ሰላምና እድገት እንዲሁም በቀጣናው ትብብርና ልማት ዙሩያ የተሻለ መቀራረብ ለመፍጠር እንዲስማሙ!
Uhuru is trusted by Tigray and was nominated as it's first choice mediator in Pretoria (Obasanjo was Abiy's choice, for those who forgot). Ruto, as America's chosen anchor state leader for East Africa, is pushing to resuscitate Tigray / Ethiopia peace negotiations by sitting Abiy and Tigray's Rep in one table. Would Abiy accept peaceful resolution?
So, Abiy's role is not the middleman in the meeting. But if he wants to take a picture standing in the middle of them and holding their hands, I don't think they would be childish and say WTF
