Blinken urges accountability and aid for Ethiopia during visit.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to discuss accountability for atrocities committed by all parties during the yearslong conflict in northern Ethiopia. The US is looking to "refashion our engagement with Ethiopia" following the conflict, and Blinken emphasized the need for an inclusive and comprehensive process of transitional justice. The conflict caused a humanitarian catastrophe and led to a significant rift in relations between the US and Ethiopian governments. The Biden administration has already enacted some punitive measures in response to the war, including sanctions on Eritrea's military and its sole political party.
