On Wednesday, Ethiopian Airlines announced that the first commercial flights to Tigray in almost 18 months would restart.
The announcement comes a day after a delegation of government officials and heads of public enterprises visited Mekelle to discuss the implementation of last month’s peace agreement.
The agreement, which included promises to restore services, ended two years of fighting between the Ethiopian federal government and allies against the Tigrayan forces, which have killed thousands and displaced millions.
He cited the Nairobi agreement on the implementation of the peace accord, which called for the handover of heavy weapons.
A travel agent in Addis Abeba notified Reuters after the announcement that the first flight to Mekelle was fully booked.
Because the national power grid is nearly complete, 27 towns are said to have reestablished telecom services.
He cited the Nairobi agreement on the implementation of the peace accord, which called for the handover of heavy weapons.
Eritrean forces, who refused to sign the peace agreements, were subsequently accused of pillaging towns, detaining, and murdering civilians.
A humanitarian aid worker in the Tigrayan town of Shire told Reuters he saw Eritrean soldiers there on Tuesday morning.
Debretsion Gebremichael, leader of regional party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), called for their departure.
“We have disengaged our troops in all four fronts. But we left some in areas where (Eritrean) forces are still present,” he said in a televised address from Mekelle.
