Ethiopia’s ambassador to the UN says Eritrean troops who have been fighting in Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray will leave soon.
Taye Atske Sellasie Made says it was a matter of sorting out some technical and procedural issues regarding when they could leave.
The ambassador says there was a commitment from the Ethiopian government and the Eritreans are very clear as well.
UN humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock says no one should be surprised to see a rerun of the 1984 devastating famine if violence does not stop and the Eritrean troops do not withdraw.
