The program was to discuss the Ethiopian election, regional tensions, and the implications for regional peace and stability. Given Ethiopia’s contributions to regional peace and stability, it is in the best interest of the international community to support peace initiatives.

National dialogue should not be considered a party issue; it is about promoting national unity and the much-needed healing.
