The “alarming” increase in military operations in Ethiopia could undermine the “nascent progress” toward getting all parties to Ethiopia's conflict into negotiations on a ceasefire, Jeffrey Feltman, US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa said on Tuesday.

Feltman briefed reporters in Washington after returning on Monday from Ethiopia.
