BREAKING: Protesters blocks all lanes of I-5 north in downtown Seattle
This comes two day after the warring sides signed aAt Wednesday’s signing, the lead negotiator for Tigray described it as containing "painful concessions."
If implemented, the agreement should mark an end to the devastating conflict in Africa’s second-most populous country. Millions of people have been displaced and many left near famine under a blockade of the Tigray region of more than 5 million people. Abuses have been documented on all sides. "The human cost of this conflict has been devastating. I urge all Ethiopians to seize this opportunity for peace," U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters Thursday, one of many messages from observers expressing cautious hope.
The agreement sets deadlines for disarmament but little else, although it says Ethiopia’s government will "expedite the provision of humanitarian aid" and "expedite and coordinate the restoration of essential services in the Tigray region within agreed time frames." A humanitarian worker in Tigray’s second-largest town, Shire, said there had been no sounds of gunfire over the past few days but people and vehicles were still blocked from moving freely. It was also quiet in the town of Axum, another humanitarian worker said. Both spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation.Asked about the peace agreement, resident Gidey Tsadik replied, "It’s good. Everyone is happy. However, it’s not known when exactly we will have that peace.
