Statement by the Tigray Interim Administration (IRA) on Current Developments
It's a well-known fact that following the split of the TPLF leadership into two camps, one of the two had conducted an illegal party congress. Since its illegal congress, this clique has been making a mockery of law and order in Tigray, determined to spread anarchy in Tigray and create popular apprehension.
This faction has also been busy eroding the unity of the people of Tigray and belittling and smearing our people. It is also engaged in a nonstop smear campaign against the IRA leadership as well as that of the security forces. Claiming on the one hand that "the security forces are with us," and on the other hand that "we have an understanding with the federal government," this faction has been preoccupied with confusing our people.
Now this faction has proclaimed an official putsch to put into practice the blustering chest-thumping that it has displayed in various forums. Having mistaken the IRA's patience so as to avoid eroding the unity of the people of Tigray for weakness, today, October 7, 2024, this faction officially declared its unwavering desire to make Tigray lawless. It has undertaken this irresponsible step deliberately to engineer instability and crisis, not because the processes of how and when governmental powers can be secured are lost on it. Above all else, choosing this chest-thumping at a time when efforts towards restoring Tigray's territorial integrity are bearing fruits makes it clear that this faction's sole interest is holding onto power, not tending to our people's needs and associations.
The Tigray Interim Administration cannot and will not tolerate such reckless actions. Taking into account the fact that this faction had mistaken the IRA's prior efforts to preserve our people's unity for weakness, the IRA will take legal actions against this destructive faction's leadership. We would like to make it clear to our people that this faction and its leadership will assume sole responsibility for any and all consequences that ensue.
The IRA would also like to take this opportunity to reiterate its commitment to mobilizing its capacities to ensure the full implementation of the Pretoria Agreement to address our people's fundamental questions and ensure law and order.

“Ethiopian solutions for #Ethiopia problems" are a cruel joke when it comes to find accountability and peace after the genocidal atrocities on #Tigray commissioned by the agents of the government itself alongside its #Eritrea allies https://t.co/u4SYWpSfma
What is the opposite of "A blessing in disguise"?
If true, this might settle the smoke in Tigray but we cannot rule out the possibility of this bringing back the warmongers to power. In that case, Tegaru's existence as a strong political entity will surely come to an end. Sad!
In @UKParliament I highlighted the #Genocide in #Tigray and the continuing failure to bring to justice the men who used food as a weapon of war and have inflicted such suffering.

If the TPLF remains the sole political and strategic leader in Tigray, the region's sufferings will surely continue. Only an all inclussive government will save Tigray from an inevitable disaster.
The warmongers (ጉጅለ ኩናት) must go now for any hope of Tigray's survival.
FYI:
The latest reconciliation initiative b/n Getachew & Debretsion faction is essentially an attempt to create a co-presidentship.
The other alternative on the document is a caretaker gov't, practically be dependent on Debretsion faction.
Let's what Getachew's faction says.
