The United States foreign relations office has expressed “appreciation” to President William Ruto for Kenya’s role in the truce inked by the Ethiopian government and Tigrayan forces on Thursday for a permanent cessation of hostilities.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he had called Dr Ruto on Thursday evening to “congratulate him for his government’s role in advancing peace in northern Ethiopia,” according to Ned Price, the state department’s spokesperson.
