The 2022 peace agreement finally brought an end to Ethiopia’s brutal civil war, but it stopped short of resolving several critical disputes that fuelled the conflict. Key issues—such as border demarcation, resource sharing, and political representation—remain unsettled, creating a fragile ceasefire that many analysts say is only a temporary pause. As the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) re‑organizes behind its stronghold, the unresolved points have opened the door for renewed tensions, raising fears that hostilities could flare up again in the coming months.
