Tensions between the federal government and the state authorities boiled over into conflict last week and there has been fighting in several parts of Tigray since last Wednesday according to the UN.
The Tigray authorities called on the African Union to intervene and start a dialogue.
But Mr Abiy said that attempts to talk had failed over the past two years.
