“It is hoped that the process results, ultimately, in the permanent resolution of the conflict and a full commitment to the cause of unity, restoration, and development.”
After two years of tragedy that saw hundreds of people slain while many more required humanitarian aid, Obasanjo led an African Union (AU) diplomatic mission to ensure a peace treaty between Ethiopia and Tigray.
After a little over a week of talks in South Africa, headed by the African Union, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s administration and Tigrayan rebels announced a surprising agreement that was applauded by the US, the UN, and others.
Obasanjo described the achievement as a new dawn when he announced it nearly exactly two years to the day after the conflict began in November 2020.
