NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The leader of Tigray forces in Ethiopia has expressed the commitment to a “negotiated end” to the nine-month war that has killed thousands and left nearly half a million people facing famine.

But the prospect for talks remains deeply challenging, as the United States says Ethiopia’s government has “not responded positively” to calls for talks.
