Jeffrey Feltman’s trip comes as humanitarian organisations warn of a continued crisis as battles rage in Tigray.
US President Joe Biden is sending his special envoy for the Horn of Africa to Ethiopia to push for an end to increased fighting that has worsened fears of an unfolding humanitarian disaster. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan announced the trip by envoy Jeffrey Feltman on Thursday, while urging Ethiopia’s government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) to come to the negotiating table after nine months of conflict. “Months of war have brought immense suffering and division to a great nation that won’t be healed through more fighting,” Sullivan tweeted.
