President Joe Biden is dispatching one of his top congressional allies to Ethiopia to meet with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed amid the humanitarian crisis in that country's Tigray region.
Sen. Chris Coons "will convey President Biden's grave concerns about the humanitarian crisis and human rights abuses in the Tigray region and the risk of broader instability in the Horn of Africa," national security adviser Jake Sullivan said in a statement Thursday. Coons "will also consult with the African Union on how to advance the region's shared interests in peace and prosperity," Sullivan said.More Related News
