In Djibouti, U.S. Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa (SEHOA) Ambassador Mike Hammer will consult on regional and security issues with the Djiboutian government and with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development.
In Ethiopia, SEHOA Hammer will attend the African Union’s second meeting to review implementation of the Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (COHA) on northern Ethiopia. The United States remains committed to supporting the Ethiopian government and the Tigray Interim Regional Administration in achieving a lasting peace, including through an effective disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration program for ex-combatants; an orderly and peaceful return of internally displaced persons; and advancing transitional justice and accountability. Special Envoy Hammer will also discuss with Ethiopian officials their efforts to advance dialogue to end the violence in the Amhara and Oromia regions.
