4. Peace comes to Ethiopia. After a devastating two-year civil war that left
hundreds of thousands dead and millions displaced and facing starvation, the
federal government of Ethiopia and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF)
signed a peace treaty on November 2, 2022. The surprise deal came out of peace
talks convened by the African Union. So far, the fighting has ceased, and both
parties vowed that they are determined to make the peace deal last.
