The AU-MVCM plays a critical role in overseeing the implementation of the cessation of hostilities agreement signed between the Ethiopian government and Tigrayan forces in November 2022. Major Gen. Akesode’s extensive military and peacekeeping experience is expected to bolster the mission’s effectiveness in monitoring disarmament, verifying troop withdrawals, and ensuring humanitarian access in the region.

In his initial remarks, Akesode reaffirmed the AU’s commitment to sustainable peace in Tigray and called for continued cooperation from all parties. His leadership comes at a pivotal time as Ethiopia navigates post-conflict recovery and reconciliation efforts.

The African Union has commended Nigeria for contributing such a high-ranking officer to the mission, underscoring the collective responsibility of member states in fostering stability across the continent.
