The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Moussa Faki Mahamat, convened the First Strategic Reflection Meeting on the Implementation of the Permanent Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (COHA) in Ethiopia to review progress, identify key challenges, and propose ways to address gaps in the implementation of the CoHA.

The parties reaffirmed their commitment to implementing the COHA and agreed to hold multifaceted consultations to advance peace, security and stability in the Tigray region. They also decided to consult regularly and to convene in a similar format within the next few months. The parties acknowledged the progress made and identified areas requiring additional joint efforts towards fully implementing the COHA.

The meeting, facilitated by the AU High-Level Panel for the Ethiopian Peace Process, brought together representatives of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, the Interim Regional Administration in Tigray/ the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), and observers from the United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the United States of America (USA), and the African Development Bank (AfDB).
