Ethiopia - November 2022

Ethiopian government and TPLF sign peace agreement

On 2 November Ethiopia’s federal government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) signed a peace agreement aimed at ending the country’s civil war – a conflict that erupted in November 2020 and has included serious human rights violations. Widely welcomed as a diplomatic breakthrough, the deal (among other things) commits the parties to a permanent cessation of hostilities and to securing humanitarian access to the Tigray province. However, the non-participation of Eritrea, a government ally and major party to the conflict, has raised concerns among commentators that it may frustrate the agreement’s implementation. Even so, according to the World Food Programme the agreement has opened humanitarian access to parts of Tigray, allowing it to accelerate its operations.
