The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) reasserted control over the region’s political administration on Tuesday, restoring the pre-conflict legislative council and electing TPLF chair Debretsion Gebremichael as head of the regional government. The move, which violates key provisions of the 2022 peace deal with #Ethiopia’s federal government, has raised fears of renewed conflict prompting calls from the EU for de-escalation.
