President Kenyatta's arrival in Ethiopia comes amid African Union calls for a ceasefire in the country
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has been the subject of political controversy after leaks revealing extensive offshore financial holdings. Kenyatta's visit to the capital Addis Ababa on Sunday comes amid an escalation in a yearlong war in northern Ethiopia between the Ethiopian armed forces and forces of the Tigray People's Liberation Front .
President Kenyatta was the subject of controversy after winning 2017 elections by a margin of 98 percent with low turnout. Kenya will face elections in 9 months. The Kenyan president was also identified in the Pandora Papers as a beneficiary of an offshore secret account by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists following an investigation involving 600 journalists from 150 media outlets in 117 countries.
The UN and the African Union’s Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa, former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo, have warned of a short window of opportunity for the cessation of hostilities and dialogue.
