Tigrayan Tesfai Gabriel-Mariam, who is 61, fled Ethiopia's civil war to Sudan's Um Rakuba refugee camp two years ago after his wife was killed in the fighting. The peace deal has raised hopes they may be able to return home soon, but Tesfai says he worries about their safety amid reports that people are still being killed. She says life as a refugee has been difficult, and she wants to return to Tigray if there is peace. The peace deal stated that foreign forces would withdraw from Ethiopia, the TPLF would disarm, and key services would be restored to Tigray. But 61-year-old Tigrayan refugee Birhan Hairo still fears the peace deal will not hold.
