While visiting Colombia on Wednesday to mark the five-year anniversary of the peace deal between the government and the demobilized leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrillas, Guterres said the peace process in Colombia inspired him to make an urgent call for an immediate end to the hostilities in Ethiopia.
Ending fighting in Ethiopia would allow a dialogue to take place between Ethiopians, Guterres said, permitting the country to once again contribute to the stability of the region.
