Ethiopian President calls for a truce over Tigray, suddenly.

That President seems to me to be mean!  But anyway, the central government is permitting humanitarian succor for the residents of Tigray province, formerly ruling Ethiopia, but no longer.

Be it observed there's an important hydroelectric facility to the north of Ethiopia.  

More importantly, China is moving into the horn of Africa region and is constructing a large military facility in the country where 2 oceans intersect--probably being its navy that is most significant.  China is supposedly mediating the conflict in Ethiopia!  

I'd suggest Bruce Jones, one of the Panelists at the Brookings, on the topic "New Geopolitics of State Fragility" March 18th discussion, as a resource to find out what China's relation is to the President of Ethiopia that suddenly a many year conflict is calmed.
