Senior commanders from the Federal Government of Ethiopia and senior representatives of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) have agreed on the modalities to be used in evaluating the implementation of the peace deal signed in early November to end two years of war in the country's north.

This paves way for the African Union-led team to, in a few days, start monitoring and evaluating the agreement signed in South Africa.
