Under the implementation deal, humanitarian aid is to be allowed into Tigray, where rebels are expected to be disarmed. The truce signed on November 2 agreed to end two years of war that has devastated the Tigray region, killing thousands, displacing millions, and threatening the unity of Africa’s second-most populous nation. Abiy’s government and representatives from Tigray on Saturday signed a further deal for implementing the ceasefire. Troops from neighbouring Eritrea, as well as forces from other Ethiopian regions, have fought on the side of the Ethiopian army. Abiy said on Tuesday that a territorial dispute between forces in Tigray and the neighbouring Amhara region should be resolved legally and through discussion.
