ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia-The Ethiopian government announced late on Monday a unilateral ceasefire in the country's conflict-hit northernmost Tigray region.
The government, in a statement published by the state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate and other state news outlets, said the move followed a request by the Tigray regional state interim administration.
