Lasting peace in Ethiopia? More needs to be done to stop Tigray conflict from flaring up again

Tigray Ethiopia the Tigray People Liberation Front the African Union Debretsion Gebremichael Getachew Reda Tigray People Liberation Front

It has been nearly two years since the African Union brokered a peace deal that put an end to the war between the Ethiopian state and the Tigray regional government. The signing of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement in November 2022 brought an end to a deadly two-year conflict.

The agreement has achieved a number of outcomes. These include:

  • an end to the fighting between Tigrayan and Ethiopian armed forces

  • the creation of a transitional government in Tigray, run by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front

  • the demobilisation of 50,000 Tigrayan troops

  • the Tigray People’s Liberation Front regaining its legal status as a political party registered under special conditions

  • the approval in Addis Ababa of a transitional justice policy

  • the establishment of an AU-led monitoring and verification mission.
