Abiy's government and the regional one run by the Tigray People's Liberation Front each consider the other illegitimate.
\t There was no immediate word from the three AU envoys, former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former Mozambique President Joaquim Chissano and former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe. AU spokeswoman Ebba Kalondo did not say whether they can meet with TPLF leaders, something Abiy's office has rejected.
\"``Not possible,'' senior Ethiopian official Redwan Hussein said in a message to the AP. ``\"Above all, TPLF leadership is still at large.'' He called reports that the TPLF had appointed an envoy to discuss an immediate cease-fire with the international community ``masquerading.''
\t Fighting reportedly remained well outside the Tigray capital of Mekele, a densely populated city of a half-million people who have been warned by the Ethiopian government that they will be shown ``no mercy'' if they don't distance themselves from the region's leaders.
\t Tigray has been almost entirely cut off from the outside world since Nov. 4, when Abiy announced a military offensive in response to a TPLF attack on a federal army base.
That makes it difficult to verify claims about the fighting, but humanitarians have said at least hundreds of people have been killed.
\t The fighting threatens to destabilize Ethiopia, which has been described as the linchpin of the strategic Horn of Africa.
\t With transport links cut, food and other supplies are running out in Tigray, home to 6 million people, and the United Nations has asked for immediate and unimpeded access for aid.

[Ghanaian Times] Political parties are the foundation block of the democratic state. They exist to organise the population along a political ideology and sponsor candidates during elections to national offices to steer the affairs of the country.
[Nation] Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has defended the proposal in the BBI report for members of the electoral commission to be picked from parliamentary political parties, saying it will enhance transparency.
[Monitor] When the three East African countries of Tanganyika (Tanzania), Uganda and Kenya had just attained independence in 1961, 1962 and 1963 respectively, they were fond of making five-year development plans.
With the entry of each new government into office the electorate hears the same recitations about development.

The images of young girls abducted by Boko Haram in 2014 shocked the world. The girls, known as the Chibok girls became a symbol of violence against women in Nigeria. Six years have passed but violence against women is still very rife.
On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, photographer Etinosa Yvonne puts a spotlight on these female victims of violence.
''It was like writing down what they were going through and how it affected their mental health. They don't understand what they're going through, they know they're getting psychological help. But because they can't contextualize it, they're going through what they're going through and they're trying to understand what's happening on a day-to-day basis. The problems of self-esteem are very present and I have noticed that many of them don't have confidence in themselves and this prevents them from trying anything, from trying to get out of this situation they find themselves in'', she said.
Mental health problems is still taboo in society. But recently, the activism of a younger segment of the population has brought the issue to the fore.
''Because it's a taboo subject and people who have problems are told \"oh you're crazy, you have to go to church or you have to go to an imam to get prayers\". There has never been a need to sit down and discuss it. So they might stop saying that, but since it's a taboo subject they have to keep it (mental health) to themselves'', the photographer added.
For the photographer, society needs to question the way it works and especially how both sexes are viewed.
''So, it will take a lot of education for us to be accommodating and to first be emphatic towards these people. I think that as a society there needs to be a lot of unlearning...the glorification of men, and the objectification of women also needs to end. Because we have a society in which women are seen only as objects of sexual desire, of housekeeping. All these horrible opinions have to stop. It's hard for people to say, \"Okay, it's happening, it's wrong and needs to stop'', Yvonne said.
But we have to make sure that both boys and men are part of a fairer world for the women of tomorrow.
