Tigray's Fragile Peace: A Year of Dashed Hopes and Limited Aid

One year after the peace agreement was signed between the Ethiopian government and regional forces from Tigray, the Tigray region is slowly recovering from the devastating civil war. The capital city, Mekelle, has returned to normalcy with the resumption of communication, transportation, and commercial activity. However, the humanitarian situation remains critical, with over 1 million internally displaced people and 1.5 million in need of food assistance. International aid organizations are struggling to provide assistance, and there are ongoing reports of atrocities and human rights abuses. Many people in Tigray are demanding the full implementation of the peace agreement, including the withdrawal of foreign forces and the return of displaced citizens.
