NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A new round of talks has begun between Ethiopia’s government and Tigray representatives to work out military and other details of last week’s signing of a “permanent” cessation of hostilities in a conflict thought to have killed hundreds of thousands of people. The meetings in Kenya involve the military commanders of both sides along with the lead political negotiators. Issues to be discussed include how to monitor the deal, disarming Tigray forces and the resumption of humanitarian aid access and basic services to Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region. An official familiar with the talks says they are expected to continue through Wednesday.
