While many African countries, China, Russia and others considered the crisis a domestic affair for Ethiopia, the West has not yet successfully organized a public meeting on Tigray, since the war began in Tigray last November.
The United States, Ireland and the United Kingdom have called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the war-torn Tigray region of Ethiopia.
It should be noted that "the meeting may take place Friday."
The Ethiopian Government announced the agreement to enter into a ceasefire in Tigray Territory, following a request from the Territory's interim administration, amid reports of the Tigray Liberation Front taking control of the capital city of Michele.
According to Addis Standard, "the request by the federal government appointed to the Tigray Interim Ceasefire Administration for the war-torn territory has been positively accepted by the federal government."
According to local sources in Tigray, "the control of the town of Michele by forces of the Tigray Liberation Front and the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops from it."
"Ethiopian forces have fully withdrawn from Michele, which is the capital of Tigray Province."
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed launched a military operation against the Tigray People's Liberation Front and declared victory when federal forces took control of the region's capital a month later.
It should be noted that the conflict has caused thousands of deaths and the displacement of some 900 thousand more from the Territory, which has a population of more than 5 million, while the United Nations has warned of a humanitarian crisis in the Territory.
Addis Ababa confirms its humanitarian sensitivity in its military operations in the Territory.
