UN aid chief Martin Griffiths and the African Union’s envoy for the Horn of Africa, Olusegun Obasanjo, visited the northern Tigray region of Ethiopia on Sunday to discuss humanitarian access and a possible ceasefire in the year-long conflict.
Mr Griffiths and Mr Obasanjo, a former Nigerian president, were in the regional capital Mekelle at the same time, according to reports.
It is unclear, however, whether the two were on the same trip.
Tigray TV reported that the two met “the president of Tigray government, Dr Debretsion Gebremichael” in his office for talks on the “crisis in Ethiopia and ways to deliver humanitarian aid and regional issues”.
It said Mr Griffiths and Mr Obasanjo later returned to Addis Ababa.
