US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is on his first visit to Ethiopia since the war in Tigray. He urged the longstanding ally to "deepen the peace" in the north and repair relations shaken by the brutal two-year conflict.
It is the highest-ranking US visit to the country since war broke out in late 2020 between Ethiopia's government and Tigrayan rebels, fraying the US relationship with Addis Ababa as Washington alleged crimes against humanity.
