France has suspended its military co-operation with Ethiopia due to concerns about the conflict in the northern region of Tigray, AFP cited two official sources with knowledge of the issue as saying on 13 August.

The sources said that a deal agreed by French President Emmanuel Macron and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in March 2019 was suspended at the beginning of July. Under the agreement, France would loan EUR85 million to help Ethiopia set up a navy even though it has been landlocked since Eritrea gained its independence in 1993, AFP reported.
