Aljazeera posted on 13 September 2022 a 25-minute podcast titled "Is Peace on the Horizon for Ethiopia's Tigray Region?" with Inside Story presenter Hashem Ahelbarra. Panelists are Getachew Reda, TPLF spokesman, Ustaz Kamil Shemsu, member of the Ethiopian Parliament, Teklay Gebremichael in Sweden, and William Davison, International Crisis Group.
The panelists provided a generally pessimistic analysis of the prospects for the early resumption of peace talks. The Ethiopian member of Parliament doubted the sincerity of the TPLF. Teklay suggested that the Ethiopian government could not move forward without approval from Eritrea. The TPLF spokesman seemed to say that talks could occur only if the 4 TPLF conditions--humanitarian access to Tigray Region, restauration of essential services, departure of Eritrean forces from Ethiopia, and removal of forces from western Tigray--mentioned last week by the TPLF are accepted by Addis Ababa.
