The fragile stability of northern Ethiopia is under immediate threat as the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has officially moved to 'take back control' of the Tigray region. By announcing the restoration of its pre-war regional parliament and government, the TPLF has effectively declared the 2022 Pretoria Peace Agreement null and void. This act of defiance follows months of escalating tensions, during which the TPLF accused Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s federal government of withholding civil servant salaries and unilaterally extending the term of the Interim Administration under Lieutenant General Tadesse Worede. With armed skirmishes already reported between TPLF forces and the federal army, former regional leaders and international observers are sounding the alarm. The move risks dragging Ethiopia back into a full-scale conflict, a terrifying prospect for a region still reeling from a two-year civil war that claimed roughly 600,000 lives. --- Ethiopia | Tigray Rebels | Peace Deal | Pre-War Government | Tigray People’s Liberation Front | Abiy Ahmed | Firstpost Africa | Alyson Le Grange | Africa | Global South | Geopolitics | Military Coup | Environment | Climate Change | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #ethiopia #tigray #rebels #tplf #peacedeal #firstpostafrica #africa #alysonlegrange #globalsouth #militarycoup #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
