Ethiopia as a “Peaceful Nation”: KC Calls on All Parties to Come to the Peace Table

Statement

13 November 2026 – The continuing conflicts in Ethiopia, tensions with neighbouring countries and internal clashes must end. I call on the government and all parties involved in violence to come to the peace table now. No more fighting. The Ethiopian people deserve lasting peace, stability and development.

I have repeatedly offered my mediation through my personal Global Peace 2030 initiative to bring the government, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and all armed groups to the peace table. Yet a common understanding for peace remains out of reach. I repeat my appeal today: put the people first and begin talks.

Whatever your demands or differences, there must be a willingness to compromise and give and take. No disagreement should stand above the lives of the people. Listen to their wishes, stop the violence and work together for a peaceful future.

Through Global Peace 2030, I am working towards Ethiopia declaring itself a “Peaceful Nation.” My hope is that this beautiful country will soon take that step, expressing a shared commitment to lasting peace and rejecting violence as a way to resolve differences.

Ethiopia is very important to me. Peace in Ethiopia is closely connected to peace in neighbouring countries, including Eritrea and Sudan. I also hope to see these nations declare themselves “Peaceful Nations” and work together for lasting regional peace.

I remain ready to support dialogue and offer my mediation. The time to come to the peace table is now.
