The Government of Ethiopia’s announcement yesterday of a unilateral ceasefire in the Tigray region could be a positive step if it results in changes on the ground to end the conflict, stop the atrocities, and allow unhindered humanitarian assistance. We are closely monitoring developments. We call on all parties to commit to an immediate, indefinite, negotiated ceasefire, so as to end the violence, restore stability to Tigray, and create a context for an inclusive dialogue that preserves the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Ethiopian state.

We urge all parties to adhere strictly to international humanitarian law and commit to unhindered humanitarian access and independent mechanisms for accountability for human rights violations and abuses. We continue to call for the immediate, verifiable withdrawal of all Eritrean forces from Ethiopian territory, a necessary step for an effective, sustainable ceasefire and in accordance with the Ethiopian government’s March commitment to do so.

Our paramount priority is addressing the dire humanitarian situation. The United States stands ready to work with the Ethiopian government, Tigrayan authorities, the United Nations, and other international partners to expedite the delivery of life-saving food assistance, including to the estimated 900,000 people likely already experiencing famine conditions. In this regard, we urge the Ethiopian authorities to immediately restore telecommunication services in Tigray and permit unhindered freedom of movement for and ensure the safety and security of humanitarian organization personnel.

What a convoluted message!

Instead of calling on someone (the Ethiopian govt) to respect a ceasefire itself willingly and unilaterally declared, isn't the right thing to do to call on the TPLF terror remnants to reciprocate the act? And after they agreeing to it, then one can come in & verify if there're any Eritrean troops in chgray or to feed the starving.

This message reeks of anger & confusion, that the war might soon completely come to a stop.

The US administration expected a cease fire, but not the complete withdrawal which caught them by surprise not knowing what to make of it, as it deprives them of the excuse they need to trash the Ethiopian and Eritrean armies using the media. However they will continue to claim their "inability to verify" the withdrawal, thus opening up another front of a smear campaign while trying to resuscitate the dead terrorists back to life through "life-saving food assistance."

I fully support the complete withdrawal, for it exposes the blatant double standard at play. I wonder who will be singing "We Are The World" this time around?
