This might be a good moment for @WilliamsRuto to replace his peace envoy with someone less closely associated with the TPLF.

The irony of this is that the communique that he refers to is dated the same day as the invitation to the talks was sent - which the TPLF took four days to officially respond to. This is not the more recent statement issued publicly by @reda_getachew.

It is abundantly clear that former President Uhuru Kenyatta is doing the bidding here of the TPLF. And I would not be at all surprised if @DrTedros is involved in this someway also.
@DrTedros This IV was posted to youtube two days after the invitation was sent, in it @RedaGetachew spends anpiy two thirds of the "set-up IV" complaining about the lack of IC support for TPLF's war - and this is clearly aimed at European nations.
@DrTedros @RedaGetachew The continued ability of the TPLF to play "wag the dog" with the European Union and Parliament is seriously embarassing.
As are Uhuru Kenyatta's absurd actions today. He should be replaced ASAP.

As for the calls for a cessation of hostilities, this is what the world thought that TPLF had agreed to on September 11th after the UNSC failed to act on their rescue request.
A cessation of hostilities would have been possible then - had TPLF taken up the opportunity.

In the context of all this, the actions of the European Parliament and the UNHRC can be clearly seen for what they are, spoiler tactics on behalf of the TPLF.
Europe has been played. As has Kenya. What a mess. Back to square one. It's clear TPLF has no appetite for peace.

These coordinated diplomatic efforts to kneecap any possibility of peace talks are a repeated feature of TPLF's hybrid warfare tactics.
Western Powers need to stop falling for this charade and do the right thing. Insist that the TPLF attend talks, on pain of sanctions.
