In an open conversation, Ambassador Tizita Mulugeta speaks with Manish Kumar Jha of Financial Express on the burning issues and internal conflict which has already spiralled into a grievous crisis. Amb Tizita talked about the long standing relations between Ethiopia and India on multiple fronts.
 Briefing about the current situation in Ethiopia, particularly the background and triggering causes of the conflict in the northern part of Ethiopia.
 Recalling the declaration of the unilateral humanitarian ceasefire and the humanitarian truce, which paved the way for the provision of unrestricted access for humanitarian operators to the Tigray region.
 Discussing how the government had appointed a high-level peace committee to pursue positive engagement and sincere approaches to the peace discussions.
 Speaking on the recent TPLF's theft of fuel destined for humanitarian aid shows its complete disregard for welfare of people in the region and humanitarian principles.
 Discussing TPLF's character, repeatedly downplayed the peace effort and failed to reciprocate the confidence-building measures taken by the Federal Government of Ethiopia and its recently launched offensive or war on adjacent areas in Amhara and Afar regional states of Ethiopia.
