The Ethiopian government and rival Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), forces who control the northern Tigray region on Wednesday signed a “permanent cessation of hostilities” in a bid to end one of Africa’s recent bloodiest civil war.
Per the signed agreement, the warring parties will cease hostilities and “silence guns in principle” in the war-torn Tigray region, and work on ending two-year old war “without delay.”
The signing of the agreements, which came after ten days of intense negotiations, marks an important milestone in the AU-led mediation process that began on Tuesday 25 October in South Africa, in pursuit of a peaceful solution to the two-year long conflict that has gripped the Horn of Africa’s nation.
