TPLF rejects PM Abiy’s call to nominate Tigray interim president, calls it “unilateral decision” violating Pretoria agreement
The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has rejected Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s call for Tigrayans to “nominate” candidates for the region’s interim presidency, describing it as a “unilateral decision” that “violates the Pretoria Agreement.” In a statement issued on 26 March, the TPLF emphasized that the formation of the interim administration should be based on “an agreement between the TPLF and the Ethiopian government,” as outlined in Article 10 of the Pretoria Agreement, rather than being determined by “inappropriate laws” like Proclamation 359/1995.
The statement followed PM Abiy’s announcement confirming Getachew Reda’s departure and urging Tigrayans to “participate in the nomination of candidates for the position of interim administration president.” The federal government justified its actions by citing Article 62(9) of the Federal Constitution and Proclamation 359/1995, asserting that it had the legal mandate to establish interim administrations. TPLF further accused the government of “preventing goods like fuel from entering the region” and “stopping life-saving operations,” calling these actions “inhumane crimes” that “violate international laws.” Subscribe to Addis Daily Channel
