The war in Ethiopia affecting Yonas's region is over in the immediate sense.

Judge as of 2024-12-25. The war at issue is the one affecting Yonas's region of Ethiopia (most likely the Tigray war). True if, as of that date, that war had formally ended or active large-scale fighting had stopped (for example under the November 2022 Pretoria cessation-of-hostilities agreement, if it is the Tigray war), even if tensions or low-level violence continued. Mostly true if major fighting had ended but some notable armed clashes continued in that area. Mixed if the war at issue cannot be pinned down and Ethiopia had both ended and ongoing conflicts (for example the Tigray war over while fighting in Amhara or Oromia went on). Mostly false if the relevant conflict was still producing substantial fighting, with only partial or local lulls. False if the relevant war was clearly in full active fighting as of December 2024.

   “Months of intense fighting in Ethiopia’s second-largest region have dislodged any sense of peace in the war-torn country, as the federal government struggles with what potentially could be another civil war.”

   “The November 2022 Pretoria Agreement ended two years of war between the federal government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), halting the large-scale fighting that had displaced millions, but it postponed rather than resolved the conflict’s root causes.”

The criteria name the Tigray war as the most likely war at issue. A UK Home Office note from December 2024 says the November 2022 Cessation of Hostilities Agreement "ended the war", and that security in former TIRA-controlled areas improved significantly afterwards (E1, E2). The Rift Valley Institute confirms that the Pretoria Agreement halted the large-scale fighting, although the root causes were not resolved (E4). Heavy fighting was going on in Amhara at the time (E3), but that is a separate conflict, so under the criteria the Tigray war was over in the immediate sense as of 2024-12-25.
