Commentary: Beyond Cessation of Hostilities: Sustaining Peace
Despite meager financial support from the global community, implementation thus far shows that CoHA could possibly bring peace to Tigray. Hence this piece argues that imperfect as it is, if fully implemented the CoHA represents the most viable path to peace. Christine Bell, a distinguished legal scholar specializing in peace agreements, contends (in Peace Agreements: Their Nature and Legal Status) that waning political will is often the cause of slippage in peace agreements. Sustaining peace: The present condition of Tigray is marked by famine, containment, and dissatisfaction over the lack of progress in areas of CoHA critical to a sustained peace. Thus, the agenda for peace in Ethiopia carries with it global implications and should not be left solely to the CoHA signatories.
