The humanitarian truce, announced Thursday by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government, was effective immediately.
Since war broke out in northern Ethiopia in November 2020, thousands have died, and many more have been forced to flee their homes as the conflict has expanded from Tigray to the neighbouring regions of Amhara and Afar.
