Discussions centred on IGAD’s role in facilitating political dialogue and aligning the five-party mechanism with the four-party initiative to ensure unified action.
Dr. Gebeyehu reaffirmed IGAD’s commitment to intensifying efforts to halt hostilities and create conditions for inclusive political negotiations.
