Key points in Ethiopia's ceasefire agreement
Reuters November 4, 2022
NAIROBI, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Ethiopia's government and forces from the Tigray region have agreed to stop fighting, a dramatic breakthrough after two years of war that killed thousands, displaced millions and threatened to tear apart Africa's second most-populous country.
The warring parties signed an agreement in Pretoria on Wednesday for a "permanent cessation of hostilities" after talks mediated by the African Union (AU).
CEASEFIRE AND RESTORATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER
- Both sides agree to end all forms of hostilities, including acts of violence, sabotage, air strikes, and "hostile propaganda, rhetoric, and hate speech".
- They agree they will not collude with any external force hostile to either party.
- Federal authority will be restored in Tigray, including control of federal institutions.
- The government will ensure that Tigray is represented in federal institutions, including parliament.
DISARMAMENT
- Both parties recognise that Ethiopia has only one defence force.
- The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), the party that dominates Tigray, agrees to fully disarm, including light weapons, within 30 days.
- TPLF fighters will enter a disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) programme.
- Ethiopia's military will return to the Tigray regional capital, Mekelle.
RECOGNITION AND NEW ELECTIONS
- The agreement is between the Ethiopian government and the TPLF, and it makes no reference to an elected "government of Tigray." This was one of the bones of contention in the conflict, as the government did not recognise the last regional vote held in Tigray, which the TPLF won, as legal.
- A new interim administration will be appointed to govern Tigray until elections are held at an unspecified date.
- The federal government pledges to lift the TPLF's "terrorist" designation and begin a political dialogue with the group to resolve their differences.
AID AND HUMAN RIGHTS
- Both sides will protect civilians and uphold international humanitarian laws to which Ethiopia is a party. Reuters and other media have documented human rights violations by all sides, including extra-judicial killings, raping, and looting - allegations denied by the warring parties.
- The government will work with humanitarian agencies to ensure aid begins quickly flowing back into Tigray. The United Nations says aid has effectively been blocked since violence erupted again in August, ending a previous ceasefire. The government has consistently denied blocking aid.
- The government will facilitate the return of those displaced by the war where the security situation allows, and it will coordinate the restoration of essential services in Tigray.
- The agreement provides for a new "transitional justice policy" aimed at ascertaining the truth, accountability, redress for victims, reconciliation and healing.
MONITORING
- A committee chaired by the AU will be formed to monitor and verify implementation of the agreement.
- The committee will include representatives from the government, the TPLF and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in East Africa.
WHAT'S MISSING?
- Neither Eritrea nor forces from other Ethiopian regions that have fought alongside Ethiopia's army are mentioned in the agreement. The agreement does say the Ethiopian army will safeguard the security of the country from "foreign incursion", but analysts are concerned about whether Eritrea - the TPLF's sworn enemy - will listen.
- Thorny political issues, such as the future of disputed territory claimed by both Tigray and the neighbouring region of Amhara, remain unresolved.
- Also to be determined are details of how to implement key provisions in the deal, including who will be part of the Tigray's interim administration.

Mesob, why did you agame fire rockets into Eritrea when you knew doing so would be suicidal? 
Re: Key points in Ethiopia's ceasefire agreement, Official Reuters
Good question.
Mendelay was able to make the agames regret the day they were born. In every Agame’s little brain, it is permanently engraved the price for messing with Eritrea and its people is completely annihilation.

The did not think it was suicidal. Back then they were brimming with confidence. They had inflated themselves to such a degree that war appeared to them to be a sport. What they needed is total, humiliating defeat to bring them back to earth. And that is what they were served. To date, hundreds of thousands of youth have perished and an equal number have been crippled. Tigray will suffer the consequence of their stupidity for a long time to come. One can imagine the scale of their defeat by the terms they were forced to accept.
