[ICYMI] The state of play: six months after Tigray peace deal
Ethiopian government representative Redwan Hussein and Getachew Reda of the Tigray People's Liberation Front signed the peace deal in PretoriaEthiopia's government and Tigrayan authorities signed a surprise"Cessation of Hostilities Agreement" on November 2 to end a two-year war that has inflicted a devastating human toll.
Benjamin Petrini, research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Washington, voiced caution about the"opacity" of the process."The halt in violence has been nearly complete. Restoration of services to Tigray and the delivery of external aid are also key accomplishments," he said.
"The AU mission estimates between 60 and 80 percent of heavy weapons have been recovered. In fact we don't know for sure," the first diplomat said. Accused of some of the worst wartime atrocities, Eritrean troops have largely withdrawn from Tigray, but have a low-key presence in border areas, according to a diplomat.
"It will take at least 10 years to rebuild Tigray to the way it was before November 2020... with what money?" said Ferras.
