Addis Abeba – U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman, Senator Jim Risch, has urged renewed efforts to fully implement the Pretoria peace agreement, marking five years since the outbreak of the Tigray war.

In a statement posted on the Committee’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, Senator Risch said that while the United States helped stop the fighting, the agreement “remains only partly fulfilled.” He noted that Tigray “is still unstable,” adding that “there is no justice for victims, and tensions with Eritrea continue.”

Risch underscored that a secure and peaceful Horn of Africa is vital to protecting U.S. interests, preventing extremist threats, stabilizing regional partners, and aiding millions who continue to suffer from the effects of the war.

Marking the third anniversary of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (CoHA), Canada also said: “We urge all parties to fully implement the CoHA and work together to resolve remaining challenges.”

Meanwhile opposition parties in Tigray echoed the same message.
