Provinces of Ethiopia, before 1935
The Welkait question involves a controversial territorial dispute surrounding the Ethiopian area Welkait, which is situated in the present-day Tigray Region. Welkait had been an independent area but was incorporated within Begmeder province,[1] but after the fall of the Derg in 1991, the area was given by the TPLF government to Tigray's Western Zone.[2]
During Abiy Ahmed administration, the Tigray and Welkait Committee counterparts held peaceful talks in Gondar on 19 April 2018. Abiy pleaded the Welkait question should be addressed in peaceful resolution.[3]
