UN Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed grave concern over the renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia, particularly in the Tigray, Afar, and Amhara regions. He has urged all parties to cease hostilities and return to dialogue under the Pretoria Agreement, which ended the civil war in Tigray in 2022.
