The United States has proposed that the Tigray People\u2019s Liberation Front (TPLF) must disengage its troops as a precondition to end the long running conflict in northern Ethiopia, according to unconfirmed information.<\/p>\n
The proposal came after US President Joe Biden held a phone conversation with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed who stressed that TPLF must disengage its forces as a precondition for peaceful negotiation.<\/p>\n
Information coming out of the Tigray region revealed that the Tigrayan forces ran out of food ration and ammunition and that forced them to nearly stop fighting.<\/p>\n
Living\u00a0\u00a0situations also have deteriorated in the region due to food shortages and communications breakdown.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister reportedly told Biden that more than one armed force cannot exist in a country and hence TPLF troops mustdisengage and handover their ammunitions to the government.<\/p>\n
According to the unconfirmed information, Biden has told TPLF to disarm its forces before considering negotiation.<\/p>\n
Reports, however,\u00a0\u00a0say heavy fighting resumed between Tigrayan forces and Amhara and Afar forces in different areas.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the African Union summit will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia after two weeks.<\/p>\n
