Tigray peace process and regional instability

Overview

The peace process in the Tigray region, established by the November 2022 Pretoria Agreement between the Ethiopian federal government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), remains unstable. While large-scale warfare has ceased, implementation of the agreement has been selective, characterized by incomplete disarmament and the continued presence of non-federal forces.

Geopolitical tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea, particularly regarding Red Sea access, have complicated the regional landscape. This has contributed to a phenomenon described as ‘conflict consolidation,’ where large-scale war is replaced by displacement, political exclusion, and localized fighting. Humanitarian conditions remain dire, with tens of thousands displaced and healthcare services, such as Maiani General Hospital, facing severe strain.

Recent developments indicate a shift in the political and military landscape. The TPLF has reportedly repositioned itself organizationally and politically, with reports of contacts between TPLF and Eritrean officials in locations such as Dubai and Zalambessa. Furthermore, new recruitment efforts, localized clashes, and the emergence of Tsimdo—a loose convergence of groups opposing the federal government—have raised concerns about whether the region is achieving stability or if the TPLF is merely regrouping.
