October 8, 2021 (JUBA) - The Ethiopian Prime Minister has accepted the proposal of the East African bloc, IGAD, that South Sudanese President Salva Kiir mediates process to settle the nearly one-year armed conflict with the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF).
Presidential Spokesman Ateny Wek Ateny said Friday the Ethiopian leader, Abiy Ahmed has officially accepted the proposal of the regional bloc which identified Kiir as a suitable person in the region to mediate the ongoing conflict in Ethiopia.
“The Ethiopian Prime Minister has now accepted the proposal by the IGAD which asked President Salva Kiir Mayardit to mediate the talk between the Government of Ethiopia and brothers from Tigray,” said Ateny.
Speaking to the UN Radio in Juba Miraya FM on Friday, he pointed out that the process would be launched soon as Prime Minister Abiy took the oath of office on 4 October for a second term after the elections.
President Salva Kiir was officially informed of the acceptance to mediate the talks by Prime Minister himself when he attended the inauguration ceremony this week,” said Ateny without indicating when the talks would begin.
In September, Sudan’s Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok who is also the IGAD Chair said Kiir was the right person for the job, pointing to his personal connection and relations with Ethiopian leaders.
"The Chair of IGAD requested President Kiir to go to Ethiopia believing that he is the right person to mediate the Ethiopian conflict. Hamdok said Kiir was the right person to mediate talks between Addis Ababa and the regional government in Tigray," South Sudan Information Minister Michael Makuei, told media in September.
Hamdok later confirmed he had asked Kiir to mediate the talks between the Ethiopian rivals.

This is the best news. I don't see any confirmation from any other media though.

it is to buy time and to shut off the world community.
the prime minister knows there will be no peace with the tplfites b/c he is not going to ignite ethnic conflict.
there is only one way to peace, that is the total annihilation of tplf.

If there is anyone who knows weyane psyche Abiy is at the top of the list. That is why he was able to checkmate them in the past three years without fail. There would be no political arrangement that going to be beneficial either to Tigrian Ethiopians by prolonging the life of wyeanes. Since weyanes have come out full force bringing along their hidden weapons from the cave, the Ethiopian government needs to do the same to break the back of Weyanes once and for all. To negotiate with weyanes is like attempting earnestly to domesticat a deadly viper for a pet.
