Commentary: Beyond Cessation of Hostilities: Sustaining Peace
Despite meager financial support from the global community, implementation thus far shows that CoHA could possibly bring peace to Tigray. Hence this piece argues that imperfect as it is, if fully implemented the CoHA represents the most viable path to peace. Christine Bell, a distinguished legal scholar specializing in peace agreements, contends (in Peace Agreements: Their Nature and Legal Status) that waning political will is often the cause of slippage in peace agreements. Sustaining peace: The present condition of Tigray is marked by famine, containment, and dissatisfaction over the lack of progress in areas of CoHA critical to a sustained peace. Thus, the agenda for peace in Ethiopia carries with it global implications and should not be left solely to the CoHA signatories.

French journalist arrested in Ethiopia accused of ‘conspiracy to create chaos’
Ethiopian authorities have detained a visiting French journalist for being part of a “conspiracy to create chaos” in the east African country. Galindo was in Ethiopia to report on the annual summit of the African Union and other news, according to AI. However, his government cracked down on dissent during the 2020-2022 war in the northern Tigray region and expelled foreign journalists or denied them visas. Several foreign journalists were expelled during the Tigray war, but the country rarely detains foreign journalists for extended periods. Ethiopia is now grappling with rebellions in Oromia and Amhara, its two biggest regions, where government forces have been accused of abuses.

French journalist detained in Ethiopia
ADDIS ABABA: A French journalist has been arrested and detained in Ethiopia since February 22 on suspicion of conspiring “to create chaos” in the country, his employer announced on Monday. The 36-year-old journalist, who heads the publication’s East Africa section, lived in Ethiopia between 2013 and 2017 and was “known to the Ethiopia Media Authority,” which oversees media accreditations in the country. Ethiopia has expelled several foreign journalists since the end of 2020. Prior to Galindo’s detention, Ethiopian authorities had not arrested a foreign journalist in more than three years. In July 2020, a Kenyan journalist was detained for more than a month in Addis Ababa, despite an Ethiopian court ordering his release on bail.
