Talks open between Ethiopia and Tigray authorities

Representatives from Ethiopia’s federal government and the Tigray regional state have started talks in Addis Ababa to end the delays in implementing the Pretoria peace agreement.

The deal, brokered between the two parties and signed in South Africa in November 2022, aims to bring stability to the region after the conflict between the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and the federal government that started in November 2020.

Challenges in implementing the agreement have caused tensions, prompting the African Union to mediate discussions to find a resolution.

The Pretoria Agreement addresses issues such as power-sharing, regional autonomy and resource control, aimed at resolving the conflict’s root causes through negotiation.

Getachew Reda, who is the interim president of Tigray’s administration, has announced that no further bilateral meetings will be held with the federal government until all pending issues are resolved.

Kenya’s ex-President Uhuru Kenyatta and Nigeria’s ex-President Olusegun Obassanjo are among the mediating team.
