The US and the African Union have said they believe there is a small window of opportunity to resolve the conflict in Ethiopia. Special envoy Jeffrey Feltman is presently in Addis Ababa to meet AU officials. AU envoy Olusegun Obasanjo told a UN Security Council meeting that time was running out and that there would be dire humanitarian consequences if the conflict is not resolved soon. The rebels are threatening to advance to the capital in Addis Ababa as the federal army calls on former military personnel to join in the fight.
