Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for a ceremony on the country’s Peace Accords.

Uhuru also joined a meeting with the African Union Commission chairperson, Moussa Faki Mahamat and the delegation at its headquarters.

The meeting, according to Uhuru was focused on the Ethiopian peace process and had an overview of the African continent’s general peace and security situation.

In November 2022, a deal was reached in the Ethiopian civil war with both sides agreeing to halt their two-year conflict which led to thousands of deaths and warnings of famine.

The agreement between the Ethiopian government and Tigrayan forces allowed aid deliveries to resume.

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, who mediated the deal agreed upon after talks in South Africa, said it was just the beginning of the peace process.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said it was “a welcome first step, which we hope can start to bring some solace to the millions of Ethiopian civilians that have suffered during this conflict”.

Tigray has been cut off from the outside world for most of the past two years – hospitals have been running out of drugs, while electricity, phone and banking services have been cut, along with the internet.

Both sides have been accused of atrocities, including ethnic cleansing and sexual violence.
