NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Diplomatic sources say African Union-sponsored peace talks to resolve Ethiopia’s two year-long Tigray conflict will not take place as planned this weekend.

No new date has been set. It’s a further sign of the challenges in bringing the deeply suspicious warring sides to the table. Ethiopia’s government had accepted the invitation to talks in South Africa. The Tigray authorities said they were ready to send negotiators but sought clarity on the structure of the talks.
