Ethiopia's government pardons a few high-profile Tigrayan political detainees as a step to make upcoming national dialogue 'inclusive and successful'

Friday's announcement came a day after the United States said its outgoing special envoy for the Horn of Africa met with Ethiopia's prime minister.

Friday's amnesty included opposition figure Jawar Mohammed and senior Tigray party officials, as Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed spoke of reconciliation for Orthodox Christmas. Ethiopia’s state broadcaster, EBC, named both Jawar and Eskinder Nega, who were detained in July 2020 following deadly unrest over the killing of popular ethnic Oromo artist Hachalu Hundessa, as those granted amnesty. Eskinder, leader of the Balderas party, left a detention center on Friday evening.
