Ethiopian Government Signs Peace Accord with Unity Patriots Front
November 4, 2016 - A peace agreement has been signed between the government of Ethiopia and the Ethiopian Unity Patriots Front (EUPF).
The Front that has been in armed struggle agreed to abide by the constitution, operate peacefully and stand for the benefit of the county.
The Front inked an 8-point peace agreement with the Ethiopian government following the successive discussions both sides held since 2004 E.C.
Minister of Defense, Siraj Fegessa, said various organizations that have been in armed struggle against the government are entering into peaceful activities and EUPF is one of them.
The government is always ready to welcome those who want to lay down arms and operate peacefully, he added.
Military Wing Commander-in-Chief of the Ethiopian Unity Patriots Front, Tot Pol Choi, on his part said his Front decided to operate peacefully as nothing could be obtained from war.
“We will bring our members to home and make peaceful struggle as the current situation in Ethiopia is conducive to do so,” he said.
