Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to support the peace accord between Tigray leaders and the Ethiopian federal government signed in South Africa on 2 November.

The peace agreement signed between the Ethiopian Government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front in South Africa on 2 November is bringing to an end two years of conflict and immense suffering for the people of Ethiopia. Successful implementation of the deal is critical for addressing the urgent humanitarian needs, but also longer-term aims for peace and prosperity. In the last nineteen months the UK has provided nearly £90 million of life-saving aid to communities across Ethiopia affected by crises. The Foreign Secretary, during his visit to Ethiopia on 8 December told Prime Minister Abiy that Ethiopia could rely on the UK's full support on its path to recovery and reconciliation. We have offered the parties to the agreement and the African Union (AU) assistance with implementation.
