Military generals in Tigray, backing Debretsion’s faction, are dismantling interim administrative frameworks, causing civilian unrest and casualties. Getachew Reda alleges that this coercive approach could exacerbate violence and disrupt peace efforts outlined in the Pretoria Agreement.
In the Tigray region of Ethiopia, military generals supporting the TPLF faction under Debretsion have reportedly initiated the dismantling of interim administrative structures. Local reports affirm that the Interim Administration in Adiabat city has been dismantled, leaving the fate of its officials uncertain.
Getachew Reda, the president of the Interim Administration, expressed his concerns on social media about a select group of military officers engaging in what he termed as a “misguided decision”. He further stated that these actions are endangering civilian lives in Mekelle and Adi Gudom as military leaders attempt to assume control through force.
Neither the faction led by Debretsion nor the Federal government has officially commented on these developments. Getachew Reda’s social media update articulates profound concern, noting that potential external forces might exploit this crisis to incite further violence in the region, exacerbating the challenges faced by civilians, particularly those in IDP camps. He underscores the need for stakeholders involved in the Pretoria Agreement to act decisively against these actions to prevent a resurgence of conflict that would severely affect the people of Tigray.
The situation in Tigray is becoming increasingly precarious as military actions under Debretsion’s faction threaten to dismantle established administrative structures. The arbitrary exercise of power by military leaders has already resulted in civilian casualties, raising alarms about the potential for renewed violence. The adaptability and response of local and external stakeholders will be critical in averting further destabilization and promoting peace in the region.
