Tigray Liberty Media (TLM) – Chime of Liberty! ደወል ሓርነት!

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] The calls for justice from the hundreds of thousands who suffered, including those who died and those who were tortured and raped, remain unanswered. Over the past fifty years, these voices of pain and demands for justice across Tigray have not been properly addressed. If genuine justice for Tigray is desired, one […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] Over the past 3 years since the Pretoria peace agreement was signed, the media and public discourse have largely focused on reports of TPLF corruption, gold theft, repression, democracy, justice, and accountability. On the other hand, the TPLF leadership’s daily activities center on its power struggle and alliance (ፅምዶ) and its preparation […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] In accordance with our courteous and ethical editorial standards, offering criticism in defence of the people’s cause is not intended to undermine Gelowdewos’ democratic rights, particularly given his repeated false claims. We should not be blind, especially when matters of public interest are at stake. As humans, we naturally hold differing opinions, […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] We can all agree that there is a great need for peace in our region, but the question is how to achieve it. We are confronted by a basic principle of trust. The TPLF and Shaebia trusted a strategy they believed would help them win against the PP government of Abiy Ahmed […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] The so-called TPLF leadership has completely betrayed the people of Tigray by forming a dangerous alliance (ፅምዶ) with the ruthless regime of Eritrea (Shaebia), known for its bloodshed actions and North Korean-style authoritarian rule, including infanticide (such as the slaughter of schoolchildren at Ayder, Mekelle), illegal occupation of Tigray territories, mass displacements, […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] The circus of yet another marriage among constantly changing partners reaches its peak with the so-called alliance (Tsemedo ፅምዶ), happy members of the so-called alliance, congratulatory messages from dedicated groups in the Diaspora, and, of course, a blessing from the master conspirator and head priest Isaias Afeworki from Asmara. Shabia recognizes that […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] No one rules arbitrarily in the contemporary world. The vision and ideas that shape it are crucial. Every leader must explain the reasoning behind a decision or act. It is widely acknowledged that “TPLF” has frequently failed to meet the expectations of the people of Tigray. Tigray is on the verge of […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] “Maximum openness of the actions in power, public wisdom, instinct, and a sense of self-preservation can, in due time, warn leaders against careless steps that would be paid for a letter by the whole country.” Essay on Leadership Political institutions must recognise that every detail matters and that no issue is too […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] The leadership of the TPLF bears the responsibility to safeguard the people of Tigray from genocide and starvation, and it is imperative that they fulfil this obligation. Furthermore, there exists incontrovertible evidence and eyewitness accounts substantiating their participation in the theft of aid grains, which is undeniably shameful and disheartening. Nonetheless, such actions […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] What makes this situation even more heartbreaking is how famine can deeply impact Tigray’s overall morale, shaping how its people see themselves and their confidence. When famine hits, those who have lived through it often carry a heavy weight of fear and despair. It is painfully hard for them to forget the […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] Tension and conflict among our leaders in various regions have historically characterized the elimination of political opponents in Tigray. The best we can hope for is to reconcile and compromise our conflicting personal ambitions to live in peace and harmony. All Tegrawot must reach consensus on the key issues confronting the country, […]

[TLM Perspective] Tigray Political Deadlock: Which Way Forward? Fear and bitterness should have no role in our national affairs; the repercussions of silence and hesitation have been severe. We call on every Tigrayan who genuinely cares to demonstrate their commitment through action. We must remain true to our principles—justice, peace, and accountability are what the […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] The divisions within the TDF and the TPLF threaten Tigray’s future, as conflicting interests hinder unity, peace, and justice. The TPLF leadership’s political manoeuvres have changed quickly, and their attempt to oust President Tadesse Werede has led to unforeseen further consequences. Why do the TPLF leaders and the hardcore generals continue to […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] There is little time remaining to debate and speculate about Tigray’s future. The events of the past year, since Getachew Redda’s departure, clearly demonstrate the severe political and social issues facing Tigray. Debretsion, Fetlwork, Alem and the Generals must be held accountable as the key architects of these harmful policies. The TPLF’s […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] For two weeks, we watched with awe and hope as TDF carried out the most peaceful and brave civil protest. You inspired us all with your sacrifices and nobility, and we admired your unwavering democratic commitment to the rights and dignity of the Tigrayan people. We hope that every Tigrayan—men and women, […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] The ongoing struggle for democracy in Tigray demonstrates the value of strong leadership and resilience among its people. The people of Tigray are crying for the political change and a new visionary leadership that puts the interests of the people first above the party’s interest. As challenges persist, the vision for democratic […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” ~ Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom A vicious cycle has taken hold in Tigray, where the interim government has become even more crippled and less able to govern, […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] Tigray faces many challenges, and we, Tigrayans, must address them by establishing a system that prioritizes the most urgent issues first, i.e., Tigray’s interests, freedom, good governance and democracy. These must come first to unite us in defending our survival as people. Therefore, the current Tigray leadership must adopt an all-inclusive transitional […]

The TPLF has been campaigning to forge for national unity (ወፍሪ ብሄራዊ ሓድነት) in the last few weeks. Conversely, the people of Tigray have rejected the TPLF’s rhetoric of war, and its preparedness campaign for war against the Abiy government has failed spectacularly. The people of Tigray see the TPLF’s obsession with war as the […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] The rise of the Tigray Peace Force (TPF) is emerging as a force to liberate Tigray, and the TDF fighters are flooding to join the TPF struggle against the TPLF’s repressive political ideology. The TPF is leading the struggle for change, with its main aim to safeguard the interests of Tigrayan people. […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] The unrest in Raya and 70 Enderta should be the lesson for TPLF leaders to reflect on their treacherous actions and desperate responses that are increasingly despised and rejected by the people of Tigray. We conducted our own informal survey of Tegrawot both in the Diaspora and in Tigray, and to our […]

Credit Micky Raya: ህወሓት ዝጨወየቶ ህዝባዊ መረፃ The human rights abuses have drawn significant attention among the people of Tigray and the urgent need for accountability and reform. Let’s look at the famous statements said by the TPLF Chairman, Dr Debretsion Gebremichael: “Whether they come from Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) or elsewhere, we want to […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] When a nation faces a crisis and undergoes significant changes in its political, social, economic, or international stance, its political parties as a whole must take on much greater responsibilities than they would during peaceful times. Political parties, intellectuals, religious and civil society alike must share increased responsibility for the people of […]
