Representatives of the Ethiopian federal government and Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) met in Nairobi for a consultative meeting on the implementation of the the Ethiopia Permanent Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (CoHA) which was signed in Pretoria, South Africa on November 2

During the meeting, the two sides discussed on the outcome document on the implementation of the disarmament process, finalization and adoption of the Terms of Reference (ToRs) for the AU monitoring, verification and compliance mechanism and next steps in the implementation of the permanent Cessation of Hostilities-CoHA.

The senior commanders meeting was facilitated by the AU High Representative for the Horn of Africa and former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obsanjo together with AU High-Level Panel Members, former President of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta among others.

Kenyatta said Thursday that substantial progress has been made in the talks between Ethiopian government and TPLF on disarmament process and the joint monitoring and verification exercise. He also said that his team will travel to Mekelle, Tigray in a few days to oversee implementation of the agreement on the ground.
