Senior Ethiopian government officials have arrived in the northern region of Tigray to oversee the implementation of last month's peace agreement, local media reported on Monday. This is the first high-level federal delegation that has travelled to Tigray in two years, the government communication service said. "This gesture is an attestation to the peace agreement getting on the right track and progressing," the government said. The federal government and Tigrayan forces signed an agreement to permanently cease hostilities on November 2, after two years of fighting that killed thousands and displaced millions.
