(AP Photo, File)NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A United States envoy said Tuesday he sees “nascent progress” in talks with Ethiopia’s warring sides toward a cease-fire, but he fears it will be outpaced by “alarming” military developments in the yearlong war in Africa’s second-most populous country. The Tigray forces long dominated the national government before Abiy took office in 2018, known for economic development but political repression. ___This version corrects to say the U.S. envoy spoke of “nascent” progress, not “massive.”
