The United States has called on actors undermining peace efforts in Ethiopia’s Tigray region to urgently cooperate with African Union-led initiatives aimed at promoting dialogue, stressing the need for political and civil society leaders to fully implement the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (COHA).
In a statement cited by the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa, the United States said it continues to closely monitor the political and humanitarian situation in Tigray, emphasizing that sustained dialogue and full adherence to the peace agreement are essential for maintaining stability in the region.
The statement also reaffirmed U.S. support for the delivery of critical life-saving humanitarian assistance to communities affected by the conflict. It noted that long-term stability in Tigray would enable vulnerable populations to transition from emergency aid toward self-reliance, locally driven development, and greater resilience.
