Ethiopia has freed several opposition leaders from prison, the state broadcaster reported on Friday, as the government said it would begin dialogue with political opponents after 14 months of war when thousands of people have been arrested.

The move to free leaders from several ethnic groups is the most significant breakthrough since war broke out in the northern Tigray region, threatening the unity of Africa’s second-most populous state.

Bekele Gerba’s son Samuel Bekele later tweeted the two men were freed. The two men were charged in September 2020 with terrorism offences.Oromiya has a long-running insurgency rooted in grievances about perceived political marginalisation and rights abuses by the security services. Among those freed are Abay Weldu, a former president of Tigray, and Sebhat Nega, the founder of the TPLF.Will Davison, senior Ethiopia analyst at the Brussels-based think tank International Crisis Group, said the announcement was”the first signs in some time that the federal government is looking to take serious actions towards political reconciliation.”14 MONTHS OF WAR
