The French and German foreign ministers, Catherine Colonna and Annalena Baerbock, on Thursday visited a WFP distribution center in Adama, just outside Addis Ababa, containing recently shipped grain for the war-torn regions of Ethiopia. During their visit, the ministers hailed the success in implementing an Ethiopian peace agreement signed last year to end two years of war. She urged the establishment of a transitional justice mechanism to punish abuses during the conflict. The that erupted in November 2020 displaced more than two million and left millions more in need of humanitarian aid. Basic services such as communications, banking and electricity are slowly being restored to the stricken region of six million people.
