Close to 2,000 Ethiopian rebels, who had been based in neighbouring Eritrea, have returned home after signing a peace agreement in August with the government in Addis Ababa.

The Tigray People's Democratic Movement (TPDM) was formed in 2001 shortly after Ethiopia and Eritrea fought a border war which left tens of thousands of people dead.

The group received training and support from the Eritrean government whilst the Ethiopian government backed Eritrean rebel forces.

The two countries ended hostilities in July after the newly elected Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed, reached out to make peace with Eritrea.
