Another round of peace talks is planned to begin on 24 October, in South Africa, to see to the end of Ethiopia crisis that began in 2020. Reporting in the AA AFRICA, www.aa.com.tr/en/africa, African Union (AU) Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat relayed “a commitment by the government of Ethiopia and Tigray rebels to hold peace talks on the Ethiopian conflict.”
.” Moussa went on to highlight that “the peace talk will be conducted through a high-level panel of eminent African established purposefully for the Ethiopian peace process” and went further to explain that “The panel is led by H.E. Olusegun Obasanjo, AU High Representative for the Horn of Africa and former President of Nigeria, along with H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta, former President of Kenya, and H.E. Dr. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, former Deputy President of South Africa and member of the AU Panel of the Wise”
The Ethiopian President, Sahie-work Zewde, recently called for negotiations and all necessary peaceful resolutions to end the crisis in the country while addressing the Ethiopian parliament. The president noted that “The government has stated clearly that it will always keep the door open for peace. We continue to urge for negotiations without any conditions, believing that any form of differences may be resolved through discussions.” And added that “the Government of Ethiopia will not tolerate any provocation by Tigray People’s Liberation Front [TPLF]”.
In Ethiopia, the Tigrinya [Igrayans] are the Semitic-speaking ethnic group indigenous to the Tigray Region in Northern Ethiopia. The common language is called Tigrinya. Their life is generally influenced by religious adaptations and comes out to be highly motivational.
The crisis involving the Tigray Defense Forces arose from deep impression of attrition drawn from the support from the people of Tigray who felt treated with wholesome abandon looking at the war crimes committed by the Eritrean and Ethiopians forces at the war they were engaged in; and the Tigray people were worried of the probable decimation of the region autonomy.
As the peace talks are set to begin, Redwan Hussien, the national security advisor to the Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, confirmed in a tweet today, 20 October that the African Union-led peace talks will take place in South Africa on October 24.
