The AU plays an important role in regional stability and we are grateful for the role the African Union played in brokering the Cessation of Hostilities agreement between the Ethiopian Government and Tigray People's Liberation Front on 2 November.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 22/11/2022 17:25:56 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
