UN Chief calls for immediate ceasefire in Ethiopia
“The Secretary-General is extremely concerned by the escalation of violence in Ethiopia and the recent declaration of a state of emergency,” U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.
“The stability of Ethiopia and the wider region is at stake,” Dujarric noted.
“The Secretary-General reiterates his call for an immediate cessation of hostilities, unrestricted humanitarian access to deliver urgent life-saving assistance, and an inclusive national dialogue to resolve this crisis and create the foundation for peace and stability throughout the country,” he added.
