News: #Sudanese officials accuses #Ethiopia of aiding rebel assault on Kurmuk Sudanese authorities have accused Ethiopia of facilitating a renewed offensive by allied rebel forces on the strategic border town of #Kurmuk in #Blue_Nile state, according to a report by Sudan Tribune. A Sudanese government official, cited by the outlet, alleged that Ethiopia “sponsored” the assault by allowing fighters linked to the Rapid Support Forces (#RSF) and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North (#SPLM-N) to operate through its territory. The source claimed combat vehicles moved from #Assosa in Ethiopia toward border areas before launching the attack. Fighting has intensified around Kurmuk, with clashes reported across multiple fronts. The accusations come amid earlier claims reported by Reuters in February that Ethiopia is hosting a training camp for RSF-linked fighters in the #Benishangul-Gumuz region near the Sudan border. Sudanese officials have previously made similar accusations, including in early February when they alleged that RSF and #SPLM-N fighters entered Blue Nile via Ethiopian territory during an assault on Deim Mansour in Kurmuk County. Addis Ababa has not responded to the latest allegations. Read more: addisstandard.com/?p=56021

News: Teachers, students in #Tigray protest federal #salary suspension, call for international pressure Senior officials of the Tigray Interim Administration, alongside educators and students, staged large-scale protests across several towns in Tigray, including the capital #Mekelle, on 24 March 2026, condemning the federal government’s decision to “suspend civil servant #salaries” and calling for international intervention, regional broadcaster, Tigrai Television televised. The demonstrations, which drew thousands of teachers and students, underscored a deepening humanitarian and education crisis in the regional. Regional authorities say the federal government has halted salary payments for teachers since October 2025, a move they argue violates constitutional provisions and international legal obligations. #Amanuel_Assefa, Vice President of the Tigrai Interim Administration, told protesters that the suspension of budgets and salaries is a deliberate effort to dismantle Tigray’s social fabric. “The education system in Tigray was a primary target of the genocide and continues to suffer severe damage,” Amanuel said, adding that more than 1.2 million children remain out of school due to slow recovery of infrastructure. “The denial of budgets, fuel, and medicine is a calculated effort to weaken and disperse the people of Tigray.” Earlier this month, the Tigray education bureau had issued an urgent appeal to the federal government warning that a deepening funding shortfall is jeopardizing the fragile recovery of the region’s education system as teachers remain unpaid and schools face possible closure.

#Ethiopia #Tigray

If farmers in #Tigray are not allowed to farm this season, people will starve. We cannot wait until there is mass starvation to start talking about this. If the farmlands of Tigray become a battlefield, the children, pregnant women, and the elderly will suffer most.

#Tigray: Members of the education community held protests across Tigray, demonstrating against budget restrictions they say are crippling the education sector in Tigray. “Teachers shall not teach us while starving” protesters wrote on banners. Read more: open.substack.com/pub/wegahtafac…

#Op_ed: Reinstating Western #Tigray: Path to peace, national stability addisstandard.com/?p=55884 The #Pretoria Peace Agreement, signed in November 2022, was widely hailed as a turning point in ending #Ethiopia’s devastating war in Tigray. While large-scale hostilities have largely ceased, Gebremichael Negash highlights that full implementation remains elusive, particularly concerning the administrative status of Western Tigray. He explains that the districts of #Wolkait, #Kafta_Humera, and #Tsegede remain under #Amhara and federal control, and displaced populations have yet to return. Gebremichael notes, “Restoration of these districts is not a matter of negotiating identity claims but a legal obligation under the peace agreement.” The article notes that the stakes extend far beyond Western Tigray: “Successful implementation of the Pretoria Peace Agreement is not merely a regional matter; it is a national imperative.” Failure to implement the agreement, it warns, could embolden military solutions, deepen political mistrust, and destabilize the Horn of #Africa. The author emphasizes that for Ethiopia, priorities must be clear: “Implement the peace deal first, and debate the politics later.”
