The governments of Australia, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States issued on 12 October 2022 a "Joint Statement on Resumption of Hostilities in Northern Ethiopia."
The statement calls "on the Government of Ethiopia and the Tigray regional authorities to immediately halt their military offensives, agree to a cessation of hostilities, allow for unhindered and sustained humanitarian access, and pursue a negotiated settlement through peace talks under an African Union-led process. We also condemn the escalating involvement of Eritrean military forces in northern Ethiopia. We call on Eritrean forces to cease their military operations and withdraw from northern Ethiopia."
