On 12 November 2022, ten days after Pretoria, the federal government and the TPLF issued a declaration in Nairobi on implementation: disarmament sequencing, restoration of services, and humanitarian access.

Context

Kenya hosted follow-on talks. AU and IGAD facilitated. He owned the federal signature. Regional forces and Eritrea were not full parties. Later unfinished return is a neighbouring 2023 row.

Pretoria is 2 November. Western Tigray unfinished is the 2023 anniversary row.

The prime minister of Ethiopia is chief executive under the 1995 constitution as amended, chairs the Council of Ministers, and commands the ENDF in practice. He does not write AU Assembly resolutions, OHCHR investigation reports, IMF board decisions, or Somali federal statutes.

Why it matters

The path is humanitarian access: a completed implementation declaration is an attempted operationalisation of cessation. It is not a finding that every clause was later met.

What the sources establish

African Union carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

Established: a 12 November 2022 Nairobi implementation declaration after Pretoria, independently reported.

Not established: that disarmament and western Tigray return were completed that week.

The TPLF signed. Kenya hosted. AU facilitated.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The parties issue a Nairobi declaration on implementing Pretoria, not a later speech about The parties issue a Nairobi declaration on implementing Pretoria.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to His government signed the implementation text. The TPLF signed. Kenya hosted. AU facilitated. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
