The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) on Saturday called for an African Union-led dialogue to resolve “outstanding issues” with the Ethiopian government, as the European Union warned of “military confrontations and clashes” in the country’s north. In a letter addressed to African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, TPLF Chairman Debretsion Gebremichael said the group remains committed to the Pretoria Permanent Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (COHA). The group urged the African Union to generate the “necessary momentum” to move beyond what it described as a “current impasse.”The European Union reiterated that the November 2022 agreement must serve as the framework for dispute resolution.
