On April 16, Tadesse Werede (Gen) appeared in the media to announce the agreement reached by both parties on the need to dismantle unconstitutional administrations established by Amhara forces in occupied areas. He highlighted that armed groups had engaged in skirmishes with federal forces to hamper the implementation of the peace process.
“The first step is to disband armed groups in the areas and dismantle the unconstitutional administrations established,” he said.
Likewise, he reiterated today that the process will proceed in Western Tigray to dismiss unconstitutional administrations.
“The implementation process will involve AU monitoring mechanisms,” he added.
