The Ethiopian government on Monday said it plans to use military means to take control of all airports and other strategic infrastructure in the northern region of Tigray, despite an African Union (AU) appeal at the weekend that called for the immediate cessation of hostilities.
But at the same time, it reiterated its commitment to a peaceful resolution of the conflict through AU-led peace talks.
