WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is gravely concerned about fighting in parts of Ethiopia, the U.S. State Department said on Friday, urging the Ethiopian government and rebellious forces from the Tigray region to start immediate negotiations to address the conflict.
"We urge the Ethiopian government and TPLF to enter at once into negotiations without preconditions toward a sustainable ceasefire," State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement, using an acronym for the Tigray People's Liberation Front.
