The election, delayed from last year, is the centerpiece of a reform drive by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, whose rise to power in 2018 seemed to signal a break with decades of authoritarian rule and led to his Nobel Peace Prize the following year.
“Hundreds of thousands might starve to death” in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, according to a government official quoted in a leaked copy of notes.
Notably, a statement by Mr Abiy made no mention of any such offer, though it said the Sudanese delegation had backed his actions in Tigray.
