Tigrayan rebels have begun handing in their heavy weapons, a key part of an agreement signed more than two months ago to end a gruelling conflict in northern Ethiopia, a spokesman for the rebel authorities said.
The handover in the town of Agulae, about 30km (18 miles) northeast of the regional capital Mekelle, was overseen by a monitoring team comprising members of the two sides and a regional body, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).
The terms of a peace agreement signed on November 2 include disarming rebel forces, restoring federal authority in Tigray and reopening access and communications to the region, which has been cut off since mid-2021.

Inshallah tirgareyan rebels are the islamic jihadi terrorist’s
Excellent steps, Ethiopia Federation government need to stay United. United federation is strong nation
Federal government is muder ike the rebels and previous government party. Justice to amhara,tigray,agaw,afar,oromo & somali.
They will be disarmed nd put in rehabilitation centers.
*prison.
Good idea
I have many complaints against UAE
Write ✍to your nearest UAE Embassy
Instead of fighting each other Africans should get revenge on the colonizers.
No revenge for us..we whipped thier aas on real time.
Focus on doing good! PEACE, no negative thoughts, and self-victimization.
Give [instruction] to the wise, and he will become even wiser,
teach the righteous, and he will increase knowledge.
Tplf is Western agent who tried to destroyed Ethiopian economy and failed miserably 🤡🤡🤡🤡
That’s how the Western control Africa.
Thank God we have young strong leader who trying to develop the country to better future.
I want saying thank you good news guys rest world bleeding war keeping turn of right now for Ethiopian people who our historycal old enemy like Egypt not good news apparently However ,it was being brought bringing future generations Ethiopian people provide peace remain good more productive to be honest fact
Thank you Ethiopia and tigray… We want m23 to give up also in Congo
The west is so mad to to see peace in africa but thanks china and Russian things are changing for good.
Nice. Joke
This idiot so called activist. I guess he now has to go find a real job somewhere instead of benefitting from the stolen wealth from Ethiopia.
Poor TPLF they were relying on Western backing them up and have been dealt loosing hand. Like America with Syrian Kurds
The Ethiopian government was not barbaric….am not Ethiopian or Eritrean … but i know tplf was in power for 3 decades they killed and butchered many people, especially amhara and oromia,….this crisis was started by tigray tplf, they attacked Asmara with a missile, then attacked military base….the government had no option but respond……any government would have have responded…..just like in any war. The victims are the women and children….and ofcourse men…now people are paying price because of one selfish man in tigray who wanted to fight thr government.
i wonder how The west would react if a rebel group attacked military base and used missiles
Why do you broadcast negative information about Eritrea with out providing clear evidence, the discipline in the Eritrean army is higher than so many countries in this world and they were the game changing force on the ground and it’s in their interest to be there more than the Americans are everywhere and France are in Africa and so on but the situation in the ground is very unpredictable and one of the biggest weapon that Tigray own is deciet and foul crying in order to balance the losses in the ground by getting help from the West by putting pressure on the Ethiopian government, in truth Al-Jazeera knows this but I don’t know why you have to broadcast false accusations against Eritrea, being at odds with Western interests this small nation have been suffering a lot but we are a peaceful humble and guest welcoming people we value life we don’t want mothers to cry because we have been there
Ethiopia Be First a land of God Hope everyone see the light they supposed to see. From Eritrea
USA wicked
W⚓️ 👍
This tigeran activates were lying & and they are still lying😂
THERE IS NO GAIN IN ANY WAR BECAUSE SOUL HAS BEEN LOST ALREADY.FOOLS DON’T GO TO WAR AGAIN
Tigray rebels are not rebels, they are Ethiopians
Tigray (made in USA) 💪😎🇺🇸🇮🇱
Seems a mistake by the Turaga rebels to handover their heavy weapons to their enemies..instead they should consolidate their strongholds like the Ukrainians did after 2014.
A huge mistake by Tigray..
They lost the war, they knew it 💪😎
This is stupid and betrayal of the Cushitic race. Ethiopia government would rather see China, us, France, Russia own Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti. RACE WAR NOW!!!
There is a race war, the Tigray lost. Get over it 🙄
@Targe not against any horn Africans
Al Jazeera fake news
TPLF is No More. We have eradicated it from the face of the earth.
Clear, Tigric bandits surrendered their horns, which they developed during Meles rules to Abiy. They should learn to be good citizens of ethiopia like Oromic, Amharic and somalic
Still lies on Eritrea hahaha
Why not the new continent of Africa with Ethiopia like a Washington d,c and one Africa with one superior army, navy, air force for what’ will always be your threat besides you
