The Ethiopian Government and the Tigray TPLF guerrilla sign a truce
- The Ethiopian Government and the Tigray TPLF guerrillas have signed an agreement to end a conflict that has caused thousands of deaths for two years in Pretoria, South Africa. They have mediated in the peace negotiations in the African Union.
Since the attack on the Tigray region began on 4 November 2020, thousands of people have died in the conflict between the Ethiopian Government and the Tigray Liberation Front (TPLF). The Ethiopian forces, with the help of Eritrean troops, have caused massacres and sexual crimes to up to two million refugees.
Two years later, both sides agree on a peace agreement. Negotiations began on 25 October in South Africa, the capital of Pretoria, with the mediation of the African Union (AB). In addition to agreeing a ceasefire, a "systematic, orderly and organized" disarmament has been agreed. Furthermore, it is agreed to remove barriers to the supply of raw materials and services to citizens.
In the words of AB High Representative Olusegun Obasanjo, "it is the beginning of a new dawn in Ethiopia." However, Obasanjo has announced that AB will monitor the peace process and that this is only a "start".
Tigray's attacks during the conflict have had very little media impact and the international community has shown "concern" about what is happening in the territory at most. But after this invisibility, the bombings of the Ethiopian Government have left over 400,000 people starving, among others.
A year ago we published in ARGIA a comprehensive report by Axier Lopez's hand on the Tigray war.
