A ceasefire was signed by Ethiopia's federal government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front at the end of 2022. The truce has enabled international aid deliveries to resume to parts of Tigray. Last week, state-owned Ethiopian Airlines resumed flights to Tigray's capital.Although Eritrea, a sworn enemy of the TPLF that has fought on the side of Mr Abiy's government, began withdrawing some of its forces from two major Tigray towns last week, it is not yet clear whether its troops will pull out of Tigray altogether.
Prior to the conflict, investors had flocked to Ethiopia for a slice of one of the last largely untapped economies in Africa, which had begun to open up to foreign companies.
