For millennia, the tradition of the Olympic Truce has called on all parties, everywhere, to stop hostilities throughout the course of Games. As I prepare to leave for the Winter Olympics, I make the strongest possible appeal for all parties in Ethiopia for an immediate cessation of hostilities. And this can allow for effective humanitarian access and relief to all affected populations throughout Ethiopia. And these actions will pave the way to a much-needed inclusive national dialogue involving all Ethiopians. I reiterate my appeal to all parties to follow the finest tradition of the Olympic Spirit to save lives, overcome differences and find the path to real peace.
