News: #Tigray interim President warns current dispute could trigger war, endanger all of #Ethiopia
A peaceful demonstration was held at the Baloni Stadium in #Mekelle city protesting the recent decision by Ethiopia’s House of Federation and the National #Electoral Board of Ethiopia.
Addressing the rally, Lt. Gen. Tadesse Woreda, President of the Tigray Interim Administration, warned that an issue that should be resolved politically must not be allowed to escalate into armed conflict.
Tadesse argued that the matter at hand is fundamentally political rather than legal. “This decision is not merely a matter for the House of Federation, the Ethiopian Election Board, or the law. It is political, and its solution must also be political,” he stated.
Meanwhile, #TPLF chairman Debrestion Gebremichael (PhD) warned against what he described as a plot aimed at permanently disintegrating Tigray, calling on the public to remain united in defending the region’s interests.
The rally, organized under the theme “Fight for National Existence,” is part of protests scheduled for today by the Tigray Interim Administration in various cities in the region.
Like Mekelle’s, demonstrations also took place in other towns of the region. In #Alamata, one of the districts excluded from Tigray oversight by the House of Federation, large number of protesters gathered to oppose the decision by the House of Federation and the National Election Board.

Everything must be done to prevent a further escalation in the Middle East.
I call on all sides to strictly uphold their obligations under international law, including the @UN Charter, protect civilians & ensure nuclear safety.
Let’s act responsibly & together to pull the region & our world back from the brink.
#Update: #US, #Israel attack on #Iran: Mass protests erupt in #Tehran after confirmation of Supreme Leader’s killing
Thousands of Iranians poured into the streets of Tehran on Sunday in mass protests and mourning rallies following state media confirmation that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed during ongoing U.S. and Israeli attacks on the country.
Iran’s state broadcaster Press TV quoted the government as vowing that the “crime of assassinating the Leader of the Islamic Revolution will not go unpunished,” as crowds gathered in central Tehran chanting anti-U.S. and anti-Israel slogans and carrying portraits of the late leader.
Earlier Iranian authorities reported at least 201 people have been killed nationwide.
One of the deadliest was a strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, southern Iran, which killed 108 students, according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society. Responsibility for the strike has not been independently confirmed.
Iran has since launched retaliatory attacks against U.S. and Israeli interests across several Middle Eastern countries, prompting multiple states to close their airspace.

A prolonged all-out war will paralyze life-saving work for millions. The parties must realize that the most vulnerable civilians will soon be in a free fall if there is no diplomatic settlement of this escalating conflict.
“Human rights lift the world to a better place.”
At the opening of the @UN_HRC this week, @antonioguterres called for renewed commitment to uphold the rights and dignity of all people.
“Human rights are not an obstacle to progress – they are essential to progress.”
Let’s just hope the Houthis don’t respond… if they do (I believe they will now that Iran hit Saudi), the war in the Horn of Africa will ignite. The territory facing the Houthis across the Red Sea is Eritrea. The Ethiopian regime has already mobilized troops nearby two week ago…
Tigray President: Current Dispute Could Spark War
“If this issue which should be resolved politically leads to war, it‘ll endanger not only #Tigray but the whole of #Ethiopia. We‘ll try to use all kinds of efforts to solve it because once war starts, it‘ll be difficult to stop.”
Senior Israeli official: The goal is to create all the conditions for the overthrow of the Iranian regime. We are targeting all of Iran's political and military leadership - past, present, and future. The developments also depend on the question of how much the Iranian people will rise up
