Ethiopia sets up Tigray interim gov’t as part of peace plan

Al Jazeera  

The move comes a day after Ethiopia’s parliament voted to remove the TPLF from a list of ‘terrorist’ organisations. Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has established an interim administration for the Horn of Africa country’s northern region of Tigray, a key step in the implementation of a peace plan to end the war there. The interim administration was set up by the upper chamber of Ethiopia’s parliament and appointed Tigray People’s Liberation Front delegate Getachew Reda as head of the interim administration, a statement posted on Abiy’s Facebook page said. The decision was one of the agreed outcomes signed as part of a peace pact signed in South Africa in November 2022 between the TPLF and the federal government to end the war in Tigray. Thursday’s move comes a day after Ethiopia’s parliament voted to remove the TPLF from a list of “terrorist” organisations, a designation dating back to May 2021.
