It is wonderful news but also fascinating how they were able to agree to end hostilities given the staggering amount of war crimes and human rights violations involved here, in such a short time too.

Who knows, that may be a part of why. Sudden, horrific, unprecedented loss and suffering can either galvanize a war or take the wind out of its sails. Guess they won the coin toss this time.

But, it's worth noting that peace is maintained by a small handful of people desperately working to keep it together. War is easy, peace is always the hard part.

Some human rights violations were perpetrated by Eritrean forces so it's possible part of the deal was to make Eritrea leave the region
