Federal Assistance Requested as Tigray Struggles with Internal Conflicts
Ethiopia’s Tigray region is seeking federal aid after a faction of the TPLF seized control of Adigrat, raising fears of renewed conflict. The TPLF has split into competing factions since a peace agreement was reached in 2022 to conclude a two-year war. There are concerns that the Pretoria Agreement is being violated.
Officials in Ethiopia’s Tigray region have requested federal assistance following the seizure of the town of Adigrat by a faction of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). This factional conflict raises concerns about a potential resurgence of violence in a region still recovering from a devastating war that lasted two years and resulted in significant loss of life and displacement.
The turmoil within the TPLF, as highlighted by the takeover of Adigrat and the governmental requests for federal intervention, illustrates the fragility of peace in Tigray. The Ethiopian federal government is urged to respond to these internal conflicts swiftly to uphold stability and honor previous agreements aimed at preventing further destruction and suffering in the region.
