Abiy's government and the regional one run by the Tigray People's Liberation Front each consider the other illegitimate.

\t There was no immediate word from the three AU envoys, former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former Mozambique President Joaquim Chissano and former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe. AU spokeswoman Ebba Kalondo did not say whether they can meet with TPLF leaders, something Abiy's office has rejected.

\"``Not possible,'' senior Ethiopian official Redwan Hussein said in a message to the AP. ``\"Above all, TPLF leadership is still at large.'' He called reports that the TPLF had appointed an envoy to discuss an immediate cease-fire with the international community ``masquerading.''

\t Fighting reportedly remained well outside the Tigray capital of Mekele, a densely populated city of a half-million people who have been warned by the Ethiopian government that they will be shown ``no mercy'' if they don't distance themselves from the region's leaders.

\t Tigray has been almost entirely cut off from the outside world since Nov. 4, when Abiy announced a military offensive in response to a TPLF attack on a federal army base. 

That makes it difficult to verify claims about the fighting, but humanitarians have said at least hundreds of people have been killed.

\t The fighting threatens to destabilize Ethiopia, which has been described as the linchpin of the strategic Horn of Africa.

\t With transport links cut, food and other supplies are running out in Tigray, home to 6 million people, and the United Nations has asked for immediate and unimpeded access for aid.

Mauritania marks 60th independence anniversary on Saturday. President Mohamed Ould Cheikh el Ghazouani presided over the event after announcing sharp increases in pensions and salaries in the health and education sectors on Friday night.

\"I pay here, a deserved tribute and express deep appreciation to the heroes of our valiant resistance for the valiant acts of bravery and sacrifice, at the price of their blood, to defend the homeland in the name of its freedom and dignity\", he told the gathering in the capital, Nouakchott.

Health sector workers will benefit from a 30% increase in their salaries and a generalization of their risk premium, the president announced Friday night in a televised speech.

The Mauritanian head of state stressed the efforts made by health workers during the coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed 169 lives for some 8,000 cases in in the country.

On education, the president said premiums of teachers have been increased to encourage them to work in remote areas of the country, describing them as a ‘’priority’’.

Pensioners will see their pensions doubled and now paid every month, instead of every three months currently, President Ghazouani added.

The ceremony saw parades by security officers, while locals were present to express their pride for the celebration.

\"It is a proud day for us because it marks the recovery of our freedom. It is a beautiful day that we are happy to celebrate every year\", a resident Fatima Ahmed said.

The Islamic Republic in Northwestern Africa gained its independence from France on November 28, 1960.
