The Ethiopian government has set out conditions for possible ceasefire talks with leaders of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front following days of international diplomatic efforts aimed at halting intensifying hostilities.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Dina Mufti says that one of the conditions for possible talks would be for the TPLF to withdraw from the Amhara and Afar regions bordering Tigray.
Dina says there are conditions: First, stop your attacks. Secondly, leave the areas you have entered and third, recognise the legitimacy of the government.
