Ethiopia made progress towards peace by reaching a deal with the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF). The ONLF, a rebel group in the Somali Region of Ethiopia, had been fighting for self-determination for the region for years, leading to instability and conflict. The peace agreement aimed to bring an end to the violence and address the grievances of the Somali community. The agreement included a ceasefire and the ONLF's commitment to pursuing its goals peacefully within the constitutional framework of Ethiopia. The Ethiopian government, in turn, agreed to release ONLF prisoners and engage in dialogue to address the root causes of the conflict. The peace deal was seen as a significant step towards reconciliation and stability in the region. The impact of the peace deal with the ONLF was felt beyond the Somali Region, as it demonstrated the government's willingness to address long-standing grievances and conflicts in the country. It also set a precedent for peaceful resolution of conflicts with other rebel groups in Ethiopia. The agreement was welcomed by the international community and was seen as a positive development towards peace and stability in the region. #Ethiopia #ONLF #PeaceAgreement #SomaliRegion #Reconciliation
