There are roomers that both Zelensky and Putin have agreed to talk about a cease fire and possibly a deal! Brokered by South Africa and members of the African Union, both countries have "show interest in moving forward with the talks".

I am not sure if it will lead to any actual end of this bloody war, but at least they have agreed to listen to a negotiator.

The different sources say different things about the position of the US and UK and most say France is also supportive of the deal!

Following apparent pressure from #Algeria and #SouthAfrica, #Israel's representative was ousted from the auditorium at the #AfricanUnion summit in Addis Ababa, after Israel's observer status in the organization was reinstated.

A video shared online showed Sharon Bar-Li, the deputy director of the African Division at the Israeli foreign ministry, being escorted out at the opening ceremony of the two-day convention.

An AU official told AFP the individual who was "asked to leave" was not invited to attend the meeting, with a non-transferable invitation only issued to Aleli Admasu, Israel's ambassador to the African Union.

Israeli newspaper Haaretz, citing unnamed diplomatic officials, said Bar-Li had the proper authorisation to attend the summit and that discussions are being held to allow her to return.
