Pope Leo XIV Calls on Warring Factions in Ethiopia to Commit to Honest Engagement

Pope Leo XIV has issued an urgent appeal regarding the conflict in Ethiopia through a message shared on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). In his statement, the pontiff explicitly called on all warring factions involved in the Ethiopian conflict to commit to an "honest engagement" to bring an end to the ongoing war. The message underscores growing international concern over the continued violence and instability within the nation. By urging the opposing sides to enter into genuine dialogue, the Pope highlighted the critical need for sincere efforts toward peace and reconciliation. No further specific details or terms of negotiation were outlined in the brief social media post. This appeal adds to the diplomatic and moral pressure from global religious and community leaders seeking a peaceful resolution to the Ethiopian crisis.
