TPLF had its time. Tigray’s future requires something different. The sooner we accept that, the better.

Time has become a weapon against the displaced of Western Tigray. Every passing day steals more lives, more dignity — while the killers sit in comfort. But time will turn. Justice always does.

Having staged a bloody regional coup in March, Debretsion Gebremichael and the TPLF are now targeting Southern Tigray, seeking to spread chaos and illegally seize administrative offices again.

Tigray deserves better!🤞🏽

The people of Tigray, especially at the grassroots level, are asking for a new era of people-centered politics, justice, and collective leadership following decades of war and suffering. It's time to listen. It's time to be among the people, not with coerced political monopolies.

#Alarming_Development ⏰ | Southern Tigray Rejects One-Party rule, insists on inclusive governance. The regional gov't has defiantly refused to accept or implement any judgment handed down by a regionally appointed non-inclusive cabinet that comprises only one political party.

@Melhabtu No, I don't think so. We were not looking for one, in the first place.

Do we lack so much in competent Tigrayan politicians, that a General has to become interim president ? Yes, the answer is yes.

#Ethiopia’s right to sea access must advance with ‘diplomatic, legal clarity’: National Security Council Ethiopia’s National Security Council, chaired by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and composed of senior army, police, and intelligence officials, said the country’s diplomatic and legal efforts to secure access to the sea must continue with “the clarity and direction already established.” In a statement released after its meeting on Tuesday, the Council described sea access as central to “safeguarding national interests” and emphasized that the initiatives launched to assert this right should be pursued through “diplomatic, legal, and peaceful” means. It also praised Ethiopia’s “expanding diplomatic footprint” and reaffirmed the government's commitment to “regional integration and peace,” asserting that Ethiopia’s approach is aimed at “promoting stability in the Horn of Africa” and “resolving conflicts peacefully.” At the domestic level, the Council acknowledged ongoing security concerns, particularly in #Amhara and #Oromia regions, where groups “continue to pursue their interests through force.” It said efforts were underway in conflict-affected areas and noted that in #Tigray, while peace remains incomplete, government initiatives have allowed residents to “begin experiencing relief.” The Council also accused unnamed “domestic and foreign actors” of attempting to destabilize the country through “violence, disinformation, and economic sabotage,” warning that such groups “reject dialogue and negotiation” and exploit “legal political platforms for illegal acts.” A new directive, it said, has been issued to strengthen institutional coordination to “combat organized economic crimes” and protect national stability. addisstandard.com/?p=49692

"We want to make peace with the #Eritreans," Getachew Reda, President of #Tigray Interim Administration Getachew Reda, President of the Tigray Interim Administration, has reaffirmed his commitment to fostering peaceful relations with Eritrea despite ongoing challenges. "We want to make peace with the Eritreans; war must no longer be an option," he stated during an interview with Avvenire, an Italian daily newspaper, while visiting #Italy for the Cuamm "Doctors with Africa" meeting in Turin. However, Getachew emphasized the need for an international mechanism to ensure justice, saying, "Negotiations cannot occur without accountability for those accused of violence against civilians and women." While the Pretoria peace agreement has largely silenced the guns in Tigray, Getachew highlighted that Eritrean troops continue to occupy areas such as Irob. He urged Ethiopia's federal government to fulfill its commitments under the agreement, stating, "The withdrawal of foreign forces is not just a legal obligation; it’s a necessity for lasting peace." Getachew also addressed the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Tigray, where over a million displaced people remain unable to return home. "The war has devastated agriculture and infrastructure. Many hospitals and schools were destroyed, and rebuilding them will take time," he explained. He acknowledged some progress in restoring services and noted ongoing cooperation with #Addis_Abeba. Praising Italy’s support, Getachew said, "The work Italy and Cuamm are doing in Tigray, from rebuilding hospitals to supplying medical resources, is exemplary." He called for greater international support to rebuild the region and ensure lasting peace, adding, "We must create a foundation for dialogue and reconciliation." avvenire.it/mondo/pagine/g…?
