Several banks said they had resumed services in government-controlled areas of Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region for the first time in over a year, following a November truce in a bloody two-year conflict.

The war, rooted in grievances between political elites and regional rivalries, killed thousands, displaced millions and left half of Tigray’s 5.5 million people in desperate need of food. The state-run Commercial Bank of Ethiopia said on Twitter late on Monday that it had re-opened branches in the city of Shire and the towns of Alamata and Korum.

The deal stipulated the full restoration of basic services to Tigray and power services were restored in the regional capital Mekelle earlier this month for the first time in over a year.
