  1. Welcome on board youthful President Faye. Congratulations to the people of Senegal for the democratically elected President whom I assume will walk the talk to his people just after the swearing process.

  2. The conflict between the Tigray and Amhara people in Ethiopia is deeply rooted due to some border areas. Achieving sustainable peace requires a multifaceted approach that addresses the underlying issues and grievances of both groups. Here are some steps that could be taken:

    Immediate Ceasefire: The first step towards peace is to halt the violence and establish a ceasefire. All parties involved must commit to laying down their arms and resolving differences through dialogue rather than violence.

    Negotiation and Dialogue: Facilitate inclusive negotiations between representatives of the Tigray and Amhara communities, as well as other relevant stakeholders such as the federal government, local authorities, civil society organizations, and traditional leaders. Dialogue should aim to address the grievances of both sides, including issues related to land, resources, representation, and political power.

    Reconciliation and Trust-Building: Establish mechanisms for reconciliation and trust-building between the Tigray and Amhara communities at the grassroots level. This could include community dialogues, truth and reconciliation commissions, cultural exchanges, and joint development projects that promote interethnic cooperation and understanding.

    Humanitarian Assistance: Provide humanitarian assistance to civilians affected by the conflict, including food, shelter, healthcare, and psychosocial support. Ensure that aid reaches all areas in need, including those that are difficult to access due to security concerns.

    Accountability and Justice: Hold accountable those responsible for human rights abuses, war crimes, and atrocities committed during the conflict. This includes conducting impartial investigations, prosecuting perpetrators, and ensuring justice for victims on all sides of the conflict.

    Political Reform: Address underlying political grievances and structural inequalities that contribute to interethnic tensions. This may involve reforms to the governance system, decentralization of power, equitable representation of diverse ethnic groups in government institutions, and measures to promote inclusive political participation and decision-making.

    Economic Development: Invest in economic development initiatives that benefit both the Tigray and Amhara regions, including infrastructure development, job creation, poverty reduction programs, and initiatives to promote equitable access to resources and opportunities.

    International Mediation and Support: Engage the international community, regional organizations, and neighboring countries in supporting peace efforts and providing mediation, technical assistance, and financial support for conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and reconstruction efforts.

    Long-Term Reconciliation and Peace Education: Implement long-term reconciliation and peace education programs in schools, communities, and religious institutions to promote tolerance, understanding, and respect for diversity among future generations.

    Monitoring and Evaluation: Establish mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating progress towards peace, including the implementation of peace agreements, compliance with ceasefire agreements, and the impact of peacebuilding initiatives on the ground. Adjust strategies and interventions as needed based on lessons learned and changing dynamics.

    Addressing the conflict between the Tigray and Amhara people will require sustained commitment, political will, and cooperation from all stakeholders. By addressing the root causes of the conflict and promoting inclusive dialogue, reconciliation, and development, sustainable peace can be achieved in Ethiopia.
