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.

By LISA RATHKE Associated Press COLCHESTER, Vt. (AP) — St. Michael's College managed to keep coronavirus cases at bay for almost two months this fall with students tested upon arrival and once every three weeks. But in mid-October, cases at the small Vermont school started to climb. The outbreak was linked to an ice rink more than 40 miles (64 kilometers) away. The liberal arts college shifted to all-remote learning and closed the campus to visitors. By November, a total of 76 of the roughly 1,600 students had tested positive, the school said.

Former child actor Ricky Schroder, who recently bragged about bailing out 17-year-old Kenosha, Wisconsin, shooter Kyle Rittenhouse , claims to now have faced threats online. According to TMZ, officers arrived at Schroder's house after he filed the claim and investigated online posts flagged by the actor. Police then determined that some of the replies may have been crude, but “none of the online comments rose to the level of a criminal threat.” A social media user scribed, "Ricky Schroder can shove that silver spoon right up his own a*s." Another person wrote, "tbh thought he was dead. Would've been better." As Blavity previously reported , Rittenhouse made bail last week after being arrested for killing two men during Jacob Blake protests in Kenosha. Schroder contributed $150,000 towards the bail, which was set at $2 million. The Silver Spoons star boasted about his conservative views in a series of social media posts on the same day he bragged about helping the teenager....
