<p>The former Minister for Development visited Ethiopia on 19-20 October. She met
Ethiopia President Sahle-Work and Deputy Prime Minister Demeke and raised the protection
of civilians. The British Ambassador to Eritrea has regularly raised human rights
issues, and the impact of its involvement in the war in northern Ethiopia on civilians,
with the Eritrean Government. The indiscriminate targeting of civilian areas, no matter
the weapon used, is against international law, and is unacceptable We have made numerous
public statements urging all parties to the conflict to prioritise the protection
of civilians. We welcome the 2 November peace agreement.</p>
