 A retrace foreign minister has blamed U.S. administrations that supported the Tigray People's Liberation Front for the last 20 years for the current war in northern Ethiopia's Tigray region. In a letter to the UN Security Council, Osman Saleh accused President Joe Biden's administration of destabilization and stoking further conflict through interference and intimidation in the region. The TPLF led the coalition that ruled Ethiopia for nearly three decades on the Prime Minister I.B. Ahmed Rose to power in 2018. I.B. then sent Ethiopian government troops into Tigray in November, and thousands are estimated to have been killed.
