Africa Insight published on 18 December 2022 a commentary titled "Ethiopia's Winner-Takes-All Politics Threatens Tigray Peace Deal" by Yonas Negussie, political economist.
Tigrayan military losses and a collapsing Ethiopian economy pushed Tigray and the central government to the negotiating table. The author argues that Eritrean forces in Tigray Region are committed to destroying the TPLF and the government of Ethiopia is either not prepared or not able to force the Eritreans out of Ethiopia.
