UN Secretary-General António Guterres says there is a demonstrable effort to make peace in Ethiopia after more than a year of civil war. Mr Guterres spoke to the African Union (AU) chief envoy to the Horn of Africa Olusegun Obasanjo who briefed him on the peace efforts. The UN chief says the AU envoy expressed optimism that there is now a real opportunity for political and diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Federal troops have been fighting rebels in the north of the country for more than a year now, in a war that has ended thousands of lives.
