Important questions of the peace deal
Alex de Waal
Even though the western people accept the role of the peace agreement between the Ethiopian government and Tigray to stop the war in Tigray and to provide humanitarian aid to the people who are at risk of hunger, there are still questions about whether the peace agreement will succeed says Alex Dewal on BBC.
Gunshots are still being heard in the mountains of Tigray, the director of World Peace Foundation Alex Dewal, the peace agreement reached by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed two years ago. The organization should take it on TPLF because it has succeeded the world.
Alex Dewal's comment that there are many unanswered questions about this peace agreement has raised the three important questions.
👉 The director who raised the first question regarding the participation of Eritrea in the Tigray war, even though the western people including America have been openly stating that Eritrea was clearly involved in the war, but he asked why Eritrea was not mentioned in the peace agreement, he said why there was only something that could indicate Eritrea in it.
The statement that Eritrean President Esayas Afeworki is not part of the agreement, many doubt whether the federal government has the ability to peacefully remove the Eritrea-controlled areas from the Tigrayan areas, the statement that Abiy made with the leaders of Tigray shows that Mr. Esayas has the ability to continue the war.
👉 The second question raised by Alex Dewal is about the monitoring, monitoring and implementation of the peace agreement.
According to the diplomatic strategy Ethiopia is following, the agreement is a victory that can protect her from the international community.
The director stated that the peace agreement monitoring, monitoring and implementation method will be ensured by less than ten people to report to Olusegon Obasanjo.
Regarding the monitoring and monitoring of Obasanjo's authority is for the chairman of the African Union Commission Musa Faki, not for the African Union Peace and Security Council and the United Nations representatives.
This will make reviewing reports of human violence in Tigray and judging misunderstandings limited by the decision of two people, Obasanjo and Musa Faki. This unusual control method raises a question on neutrality, the analysis says.
It is a regular practice to witness international partners for high level peace agreements. Even though the United Nations, America and Igad are allowed to be observers on this issue, none of them have signed the agreement, the European Union is prohibited from observing it.
👉 Alex Dewal raised the third important question on the crimes committed.
The Pretoria Peace Agreement's Article on Justice and Accountability for the United Nations Human Rights Council and the African Human and Peoples' Rights Commission to establish a "comprehensive transitional justice policy" without including international human rights investigators raises questions and there is no need for the criminals to be allowed to get away with. When he says it he will ask The director.
Alex Dewal, who said that Tigrian people living in the country and in the diaspora have accepted the peace agreement in a tragic way, said that some Tigrian commanders may see the disarmament as a shame because they are fighting for the ceasefire rather than accepting the peace agreement.
Following the peace agreement, most of the international community is assuming that Abiy Ahmed has good intentions and if he gets a chance he will return to the path of peace, democracy and stability.
In contrast, others fear that Abiy's and Mr. Esayas' aim is to put the people of Tigray under siege and eradicate hunger by human works.
