French, German ministers in Ethiopia to back peace deal

The French and German foreign ministers have arrived in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, to support the peace agreement that's ended two years of fighting in the northern Tigray region.

Germany's Annalena Baerbock, said the pair would be discussing the need for lasting peace and accountability, food security in the region as well as the wider partnership between the European and African Unions.

Tens of thousands of combatants and Tigrayan civilians died during months of brutal fighting, marked by numerous allegations of war crimes.
