Military generals loyal to TPLF in Tigray are dismantling administrative structures, resulting in civilian harm and uncertainty about officials’ status. Getachew Reda condemns these actions as misguided, calling for stakeholders to address the escalating violence and protect the region’s civilians.
Military leaders in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, who recently showed support for the TPLF faction led by Debretsion, are reportedly dismantling the Interim Administration’s structures. Reports indicate that the Interim Administration in Adiabat city has been disbanded, leaving the fate of its officials uncertain.
Getachew Reda, president of the Interim Administration, expressed concerns via social media about a group of military officers pursuing misguided actions to dismantle government authority across Tigray. He noted that civilians in Mekelle and Adi Gudom were being harmed as military forces sought to take control.
In his post, Reda described the dismantling as a dangerous move that could lead to further conflict, emphasizing that civilians protesting these actions were subjected to violence. He condemned the actions of the military leaders, framing it as an illegal power grab by an extremist TPLF faction that disregards the aspirations of Tigray’s people and the Pretoria Agreement.
Reda reiterated the urgent need for all parties involved in the Pretoria Agreement to prevent the situation from escalating into renewed violence against the people of Tigray. He highlighted the challenges faced by civilians, particularly those in IDP camps, and stressed the need to oppose the violence instigated by military officers previously committed to their communities.
The situation in Tigray’s Interim Administration has escalated as military leaders dismantle existing structures, leading to civilian protests met with violence. Getachew Reda’s statements call for urgent action from stakeholders to uphold the Pretoria Agreement and prevent further conflict. This crisis highlights the ongoing struggle for power and the impact on innocent civilians amidst military actions.
