Ethiopia: Statement by the Spokesperson on the latest developments in Tigray

30.04.2026 EEAS Press Team

The European Union is following developments in the Tigray Regional State with great concern. We call for immediate de-escalation and avoidance of any actions that jeopardise the Permanent Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, signed in Pretoria in November 2022.

It is imperative that another devastating conflict is avoided, and that differences between parties are resolved via political dialogue.
