Pope Leo XIV calls for dialogue in Tigray
Pope Leo XIV called for all parties in the Tigray region of Ethiopia to choose dialogue to resolve the ongoing crisis. During a General Audience at the Vatican, the pope expressed deep concern regarding hostilities in Tigray and the neighboring Afar and Amhara regions. He stated that armed conflict worsens problems by causing death and destruction, and argued that only honest engagement can establish lasting peace.
The pope also requested that the international community provide timely support to ensure humanitarian aid reaches those in need. These comments follow reports from Field Marshal Birhanu Jula, chief of the general staff of the Ethiopian National Defense Force, who accused Eritrea of providing financial support to the Tigray People’s Liberation Front. While the Ethiopian army suggested that Sudan and Egypt might also be involved in supporting rebel troops, these claims have faced denials amid fears of a wider regional conflict.
