“All along, these issues, among others, have been issues that we have been talking about, we have been working on; the issues of foreign troops. No country should accept the presence of foreign county on its land,” Chief Obasanjo said, adding that issue has been raised and discussed during the peace talks in Pretoria and the follow up meeting between senior military leaders of both sides in Nairobi. Tigrayan forces’ top military leader Lieutenant General Tadesse Werede said on Tuesday 23 November that his fighters have been debriefed on disarmament protocols and that their disengagement will follow within the next two to three days. He added the disarmament of heavy weapons of the Tigrayan combatants is linked to Eritrean and Amhara forces withdrawal from the Tigray Region. No statement has been made on the latest visit of the AU delegation to Mekele by neither the AU nor the Ethiopian federal government.
