16/11/2021 (Agence Europe) – The EU27’s foreign ministers expressed deep concern on Monday 15 November about the worsening situation in Ethiopia, where fighting has further intensified after a year-long war in Tigray, creating a devastating humanitarian crisis and threatening the country with implosion (see EUROPE 12826/5). “This is undermining the territorial integrity and stability of Ethiopia, that can collapse as a country, impacting the whole region. We will do everything we can in order to spare the Ethiopian citizens from the chaos of a full fledged civil war”, said High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell. He recalled that the EU fully supports the efforts of the region and the African Union, “to offer them a table to talk”. (AN)
