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.

The latest explosions came just hours after Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declared victory in his government's fighting against forces of the Tigray People's Liberation Front, which runs the northern Tigray region bordering […]

VICE-CHANCELLOR of Women’s University in Africa, Hope Sadza, yesterday capped the country’s first four deaf social workers who graduated with diplomas. The four social workers are Shalom Muzavazi, Tendai Dondofema, Theodora Gasva and Palmer Zengezi. BY PRIMROSE HAISA 'It was a huge mile stone for them to reach their destiny because they needed an interpreter and a note taker for them to understand since face to face lectures were suspended because of COVID-19 pandemic which forced the university to transition to digital platforms as well as working from home,” Tinotenda Chikunya, a Deaf Zimbabwe Trust officer, said at the ceremony. “It is difficult to provide quality education to the deaf in Zimbabwe because most of the schools do not provide sign language hence most of them drop out.” Sadza capped 1 464 graduands, 1 274 females and 190 men.
