The two parties to the conflict in Ethiopia have reached an agreement to facilitate the delivery of “humanitarian aid to all those who need it” in the Tigray region, which has been mired in a two-year conflict.
At a press conference in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, the Ethiopian federal authorities and the rebels announced that an agreement had been reached to stop hostilities in the country.
The announcement comes after talks in Nairobi on the implementation of the peace agreement signed on November 2 in Pretoria, in particular with regard to the disarmament of rebel forces, the return of federal authority to Tigray and the delivery of aid.

The implementation of the terms of the peace treaty would put an end to the war that broke out two years ago, between the Tigray rebels and the Ethiopian Federal Army and its Eritrean allies, and the forces and militias of the border areas with Tigray.
For more than a year, Tigray has lacked basic services such as electricity, communications, and fuel, as well as humanitarian aid, since fighting resumed on August 24.
The five-month truce allowed for the gradual resumption of humanitarian aid deliveries.
