France suspends military cooperation deal with Ethiopia
Paris has suspended an agreement on military cooperation between France and Ethiopia, sources said Friday amid the ongoing conflict in the African country’s north.

The deal agreed between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and President Emmanuel Macron in March 2019 was suspended at the beginning of July, two official sources with knowledge of the issue told Agence France-Presse (AFP), asking not to be named.

Macron and Abiy had made an agreement in which France would loan 85 million euros ($100 million) to support landlocked Ethiopia’s ambition to build a navy.

Abiy was awarded the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in helping to end the decadeslong conflict with neighboring Eritrea.

But international partners have grown increasingly concerned with his leadership as the conflict in the northern Tigray region intensifies.

Northern Ethiopia has been wracked by conflict since November when Abiy sent troops to topple the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which dominated national politics for nearly three decades before Abiy took office.

He said the move came in response to TPLF attacks on federal army camps. But while Abiy promised a swift victory, more than nine months later the TPLF has made advances into the neighboring Afar and Amhara regions.
