The 2022 Pretoria peace agreement that ended the two-year war has not translated into safe conditions for return, with ongoing insecurity and the presence of non-ENDF forces cited as key obstacles. Humanitarian conditions in camps remain dire while political tensions between federal and regional authorities persist.

  1. Tigray displaced families fear renewed war as return hopes fade

    Displaced families in Tigray are increasingly afraid that renewed conflict will prevent them from ever returning home, according to Al Jazeera reporting. The 2022 Pretoria peace agreement that ended the two-year war has not translated into safe conditions for return, with ongoing insecurity and the presence of non-ENDF forces cited as key obstacles. Humanitarian conditions in camps remain dire while political tensions between federal and regional authorities persist.

    Why it matters

    The 2020-2022 Tigray war killed an estimated hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. The Pretoria agreement mandated the withdrawal of Eritrean and Amhara forces from Tigray, but residents and aid groups report these forces remain in parts of the region. Ethiopia's federal government has accused Eritrea and Sudan of backing armed groups and conducting drone attacks, raising the risk of a wider regional conflict.

    What is confirmed

    • Displaced families in Tigray fear renewed war and have lost hope of returning home soon.
    • The 2022 Pretoria peace agreement has not enabled safe returns for displaced Tigrayans.
    • Ethiopia has accused Eritrea and Sudan of backing armed groups and carrying out drone attacks.

    Still unconfirmed

    • Eritrean and Amhara forces remain in parts of Tigray despite the Pretoria agreement mandate for withdrawal.

    What to watch next

    • Status of Eritrean and Amhara force withdrawal from Tigray
    • Progress on implementation of Pretoria agreement security provisions
    • Escalation of Ethiopia-Eritrea tensions or cross-border incidents
