Millions of inhabitants of Tigray and many in the adjoining regions of Afar and Amhara have seen their homes razed and their crops burned
The two main parties—Ethiopia’s government and the leaders of Tigray, a region in the north—seem to have gained almost nothing. Meanwhile, millions of inhabitants of Tigray and many in the adjoining regions of Afar and Amhara have seen their homes razed and their crops burned.
The agreement goes much further than a simple cessation of hostilities. It sets a blueprint for future relations between Tigray and the federal government, whose “constitutional authority” over the region is to be swiftly restored. Federal troops are to enter Mekelle, the region’s capital, and are to be stationed at its airports and guard highways and federal facilities.
Speaking at a rally in southern Ethiopia on November 3rd, Abiy proclaimed “victory”, and crowed that “100%” of his side’s proposals had made it into the final agreement. One of his close advisers, an Orthodox Christian preacher who last year called thea “weed” to be wiped off the face of the earth, drew comparisons to the battle of Adwa, when Ethiopians from all corners defeated Italian invaders in 1896.
