By Tesfa-Alem TekleDecember 23, 2022 (NAIROBI) – Ethiopian and Tigray regional officials agreed late on Thursday to grant the African Union full access to the war-ravaged region in the northern part of the country to oversee an end to the two-year conflict. At a press briefing in Nairobi, former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is also part of the mediating team, said the two parties have agreed to establish a joint monitoring team to verify the implementation of the peace agreement signed on 2 November in South Africa. “They have all concurred and agreed to give the monitoring and verification team of the African Union full access, full 360-degree viewpoint to ensure all the elements of the agreements are actually going to be implemented,” Kenyatta said.
