This trip, the most recent visit in a series of visits to Africa by senior US officials, served as a means to replace and strengthen ties between the two countries after the over two-year war in the Tigray region. The War, fought between the Ethiopian federal government and the Eritrea and the Tigray People\u2019s Liberation Front. This war, sparking on the means of border disputes started in 2020, and only ended recently in November of 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The war within the region has caused multiple countries to express their distaste under the alleged human rights abuses. The US is one of these countries, and they have been fairly outspoken on their opinions, claiming that the conflict is not worth the atrocities. The Peace Accord reached back in November has helped ease tension within the region, and this has directly led to the improvement of relations between all countries, including the US. These visits that Blinken and associates have made within the recent months have served to help create further peace treaties and reestablish pervious affairs between countries. On top of furthering trade agreements, Ethiopia is also looking to change its Monetary Fund loan, which has been delayed by the war. However, as these treaties have been made, and discussions have been had, there are continuing allegations of abuses, including that of sexual violence within the newly \u201cpeaceful\u201d region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The communication between Ethiopia and the newly forming allies have been relatively optimistic in terms of their distaste for what has, and is currently going on within the border region. Many goals that are shared between countries represent the strive to reach a consensus on hot topic issues. While humans rights abuses aren\u2019t exactly looked upon with contention across the globe, many countries choose to reject the notion that they are being committed under times of international conflict. Intervention, such as that of the US to point out the misdoings, which inadvertently might lead to the collapse of treaties, help reinforce and demonstrate the goals that many of us can agree should be achieved worldwide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2023\/3\/15\/refile-blinken-to-meet-ethiopian-government-leaders-to-repair-ties The United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has recently made a trip to meet with Ethiopian leaders to discuss repairing bilateral ties.
