Officials administering Ethiopia's Tigray region ask for federal help

Date: Mar 13, 2025

Officials administering Ethiopia's Tigray region have asked for federal help as a faction of the main regional party seized control of a town, stoking fears of a return to conflict in the war-scarred region.

The Tigray People's Liberation Front runs Tigray's interim administration, established in 2023 as part of a peace agreement that ended a devastating two-year war between Tigrayan forces and the federal government.

Yesterday Getachew Reda, who leads one faction and heads Tigray's interim administration, said his rival, Debretsion Gebre-Michael, had forcibly taken control of the administration of the northern town of Adigrat a day earlier.
