Remember that the timing of this USIP briefing coincides with the Ethiopian airstrikes in Mekelle, and fighting over Dessie and Kombulcha. Three days later the UNSC finally managed to agree on a press statement about the conflict >>> un.org/press/en/2021/….
And another 3 days later on November 8th there was another UNSC meeting on "peace and security in Africa", with a briefing from AU High Representative for the HoA former Nigerian President @OluObasanjo1 who had recently spoken to both the TPLF and the GoE. un.org/press/en/2021/…
@OluObasanjo1 Under questioning from USIP President Lise Grande, Feltman outlines what appears to be a more conciliatory approach to the U.S. He talks about the U.S. playing a low key role in the peace efforts and encouraging the AU to take the lead.
