#Op_ed: Reinstating Western #Tigray: Path to peace, national stability The #Pretoria Peace Agreement, signed in November 2022, was hailed as a turning point in ending #Ethiopia’s war in Tigray. While hostilities have largely ceased, Gebremichael Negash highlights that full implementation remains elusive, particularly regarding Western Tigray. He explains that #Wolkait, #Kafta_Humera, and #Tsegede remain under #Amhara and federal control, with displaced populations unable to return. Gebremichael notes, “Restoration of these districts is not a matter of negotiating identity claims but a legal obligation under the peace agreement.” The author emphasizes that the stakes extend far beyond Western Tigray: "Successful implementation is not merely a regional matter; it is a national imperative.” https://addisstandard.com/?p=55884
