Ethiopian PM dismisses African mediation talk

Bloomberg

Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said he will meet with the three envoys appointed by the African Union, dismissing a move by the regional body to mediate a conflict between the federal government and the northern region of Tigray.
The African Union named three former heads of state as envoys. The PM’s office said that news of envoys traveling to his country to mediate between his government and the northern region is “fake.”
