Ethiopia's peace deal falters, threatening Tigray and the wider region

The Pretoria Agreement, signed three years ago to end the brutal Tigray War, is at risk of collapse due to unfulfilled terms and potential conflict resurgence. Key issues include the Ethiopian government's failure to implement the agreement, lack of accountability for abuses, and internal divisions within Tigray. Humanitarian aid cuts have exacerbated suffering, with widespread malnutrition and displacement persisting. Regional and international actors, including the US, are urged to re-engage, impose sanctions on spoilers, and scale up humanitarian assistance to prevent further destabilization.
