News: #TPLF accuses #Ethiopian government of Drone Strike, says attack caused casualties among Tigray forces and civilians
The #Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has accused the Ethiopian government of carrying out a #drone_strike on the night of 6 November 2025, saying the attack caused casualties among members of the Tigray forces and residents of the area.
In a statement released on Thursday, the TPLF said the strike marked “a dangerous escalation” that puts the Pretoria Agreement at serious risk. “This drone strike has caused casualties among members of the Tigray Army and residents of the area,” the statement read, calling the attack “a complete violation of the Pretoria Agreement.”
The group accused the federal government of “openly escalating to the violation of the Agreement,” alleging that it has been obstructing the accord’s implementation while carrying out covert military activities.
The federal government had not responded to the allegations at the time of publication.
In a statement released yesterday, Tigray Interim Admn denies crossing into Afar, faults federal gov't for undermining Pretoria Agreement.

🚨 Ethiopia: Is the Tigray Peace Deal Collapsing? TPLF Accuses Federal Government of Drone Strike🚨
Here's the latest breakdown:
⚫ TPLF Accuses Federal Gov't: In a letter to the UN/AU (Nov 7, 2025), TPLF Chairman Debretsion G/Michael alleges:
* PM Abiy Ahmed publicly disavowed the Pretoria Agreement.
* Federal support for an armed group attacking Southern Tigray.
* Federal drone strike on Tigray forces (Nov 7, 2025), causing casualties and property damage.
* Failure to implement key peace provisions, leading to "daily death and suffering" in Western Tigray.
⚫ Afar Accuses TPLF: Afar Regional Administration counters, stating TPLF forces:
* "Entered Afar territory by force," seizing six villages.
* Attacked "civilian herders" in Megale district with "heavy weapons fire and mortars."
* Committed "acts of terror" that "openly destroy the Pretoria peace agreement."
⚫ Deepening Mistrust: These escalating counter-accusations highlight profound mistrust and territorial disputes, undermining efforts to rebuild peace.
⚫ Call for Action: TPLF urges the UN, AU, and international community to pressure the Federal Government to cease hostilities and re-engage in dialogue.
⚫ High Risk of Wider Conflict: The current tensions could quickly lead to a full-scale resumption of the brutal two-year war.
The international community is watching closely as this critical peace agreement faces its toughest test yet.

.@gentsadkan calls for an end to Gen. Tadesse’s administration. He dismisses the so-called “alliance” between the TPLF and #Eritrea’s PFDJ (“Tsimdo”) arguing that it holds no benefit for the people of #Tigray. He also urges the #Ethiopia/n govt to return Tegaru IDPs.

Another tragic news.
In some geographies, a state of exception renders human lives invisible—like the 68 Ethiopian migrants killed off Yemen's coast this week.
Many migrants die suffer, and disappear without trace, their stories buried beneath desert sands or lost beneath the sea far from headlines.
Oftentimes these tragedies rarely make headlines—neither in the Global North nor South—erased as if they never existed.

Reading Tess McClure's @guardian report on the horrific sexual violence against Tigrayan women evokes deep anguish—even for those already familiar with such atrocities.
It’s as if these victims never existed. This layered betrayal—violation, silencing, then erasure by systems meant to protect—adds compounding agony, deepening wounds that feel unspeakable.
What intensifies the pain is the widespread denial and abandonment of accountability—not just by some of the political, military, and economic elites of Tigray but also the support to the grand whitewash scheme by international institutions once trusted to uphold justice.

Abiy Ahmed Ali is now one of history’s deadliest rulers who used starvation as a weapon in the last 155 years. 👇🏻

Video: Pretoria Agreement is in a “strange limbo”, U.S. policy expert tells Senate members responding to a question on “the bubbling, almost boiling situation” between #Ethiopia and #Eritrea.
At a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on 13 May focusing on East Africa and The Horn, Michelle Gavin of the Council on Foreign Relations cautioned against the fragile state of peace between Ethiopia and Eritrea, attributing it to the incomplete implementation of the Pretoria Agreement. She described the current state of the agreement as being in a “strange limbo.”
Responding to a question from Senator Van Hollen on what “practical steps” the U.S. should take to “try to address the bubbling, almost boiling situation with respect to Ethiopia and Eritrea,” Michelle echoed concerns previously raised by Joshua Meservey of the Hudson Institute. Joshua had highlighted Eritrea’s continued presence inside Tigray in violation of the agreement.
Both experts discussed the need for international pressure to ensure full implementation of the Pretoria Agreement, which brought an end to the brutal two-year war in the Tigray region.
“This is something everybody’s already agreed to, but it has not been fully implemented. It is in this strange limbo,” Michelle said, calling for increased involvement from AU member states as a “helpful focal point.”
The Ethiopian regime is now banning foreigners from traveling to Tigray, and those already there are being told to leave immediately—according to Tigray’s tourism bureau chief.
This mirrors the isolation tactics used in the lead-up to the genocide.
