One year on, peace holds in Tigray, but Ethiopia still fractured

An accord signed a year ago between the rivals in Ethiopia’s Tigray war has brought peace to the shattered region but ignited yet another conflict in the increasingly fractured nation. With the guns silent at last, Ethiopia’s northern region has begun the task of rebuilding. Close to 90 percent of Tigray’s health facilities were damaged or destroyed in the conflict, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report. “Health facilities were looted. For some, you only still have a shell, a concrete shell,” the NGO worker said.
