Analysis. From GIS/Defense & Foreign Affairs correspondents in Addis Ababa and elsewhere in the region.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed Ali on June 28, 2021, called a unilateral ceasefire in military operations against the Tigré (Tigray) Popular Liberation Front (TPLF) forces in Tigré Region of Ethiopia. This allowed TPLF forces unfettered access to the regional capital, Mekelle, and the prospect that the region would once again attempt to seal itself of hermetically from the rest of Ethiopia.
It is believed that Dr Abiy gave in to immense pressure from the US Government, which had threatened to propose through the United Nations Security Council armed intervention in Ethiopia to stop an “humanitarian crisis” in the region.
