More than half a million lives were lost by the time the peace agreement was signed between the Ethiopian federal government and representatives of the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) on November 2. Other parts of Tigray, like the towns of Axum and Shire, are still reported to be without power. Millions were caught in the crossfire of the bloody and complicated war as the fighting expanded to engage multiple parties in fighting. At least 65 percent of Tigray forces have been demobilized and withdrawn from the frontline areas, Tigray’s top military commander Tadesse Woreda told reporters last week. Eritrea was not a party to the peace deal.
