The warring parties in Ethiopia's conflict should cease hostilities immediately and work on a ceasefire, the regional Africa group IGAD said on Thursday.

The group urged the parties "to show restraint, work on de-escalating the tensions and resolve their differences through an all-inclusive national dialogue and reconciliation in the best interest of the country and the region".
