Blinken works to repair US-Ethiopia ties after Tigray conflict.
TL;DR Summary
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to discuss efforts towards sustainable peace in Tigray and accountability for atrocities committed during the war. Blinken also announced $331 million in new humanitarian aid to Ethiopia. The meeting aimed to mend diplomatic ties damaged by the Tigray conflict, which led to the US imposing restrictions on economic and security assistance to Ethiopia. The US seeks to reinforce ties with Africa, where China's influence is strong. Allegations of abuses, including sexual violence, persist in Tigray despite the peace deal signed in November.
