Addis Ababa, December 5, 2025 (FMC) — Ethiopia’s Ministry of Peace has underscored that pursuing dialogue and reconciliation ensures victory for all parties, following the signing of the latest peace accord in the Amhara region.
In a statement on the current situation, the Ministry emphasized that the federal government has consistently prioritized peaceful consultations as the only viable alternative to conflict.

The Ministry highlighted that this approach remains the sole means to establish a system that guarantees peace, justice, and mutual benefit across the country.

Finally, the Ministry called on other armed groups still engaged in conflict to follow the same path of dialogue and reconciliation, emphasizing that peaceful discussion provides the only constructive solution to disputes and ensures benefits for all parties involved.
