Ethiopia’s Tigray region president, Debretsion Gebremichael, said on Sunday it would be good to try to stop the fighting with federal troops and negotiate.
The region will keep on defending itself until federal authorities agree to negotiate, Debretsion told Reuters, adding that the federal government has lost authority there, and it was still pounding some targets with airstrikes.
