Dancers pose for a photograph at a farewell ceremony for artists from different theaters who will be travelling to perform for soldiers from the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF), in the capital Addis Ababa Friday, Aug. 13, 2021. The United States says it is sending a special envoy to Ethiopia as the fast-moving conflict in the Tigray region has spread into neighboring regions and Ethiopia's government this week called on all able citizens to stop the resurgent Tigray forces "once and for all."
