Once more, according to Hussein’s tweet, “African problems have been stuck with African solutions.”
It is noteworthy that the agreement signed by Marshal Burhano Joula, Chief of Staff of the Ethiopian Armed Forces, and General Tadisi Waridi, Commander -in -Chief of the Tigray rebel forces, stipulates “the arrival of humanitarian aid to all those who need them. ”

Notably, the conflict in Tigray started in November 2020 when Ethiopian Prime Minister Abi Ahmed dispatched the Federal Army to overthrow the regional leaders who had been openly defying his authority for several months and were allegedly attacking federal military installations in the area.
The rebel Tigrey forces were defeated at the beginning of the conflict, but they regained control of most of the area in a counter -attack in 2021 that extended to Amhara and Afar and witnessed their approach to Addis Ababa.
The rest of the country cut off Tigray’s access to electricity, communications networks, banking services, and fuel, and the rebels withdrew there.
