[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] At the heart of democracy lies citizens’ need to provide informed and responsible responses to societal challenges. While it is commendable for individuals to recognize their rights, the crucial condition for democracy to thrive is that citizens understand and fulfil their responsibilities. Democracy relies on accountability, transparency and good governance, while authoritarian […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] The TPLF is ruling Tigray with impunity by dismantling the elected district administrative officials and replacing them with unelected TPLF cadres. The TPLF’s actions have led to widespread dissatisfaction among many districts’ populations, particularly in Central, Eastern, South-Eastern, and Southern Tigray, as the people feel their voices are being silenced and their […]

[TLM Editorial viewpoint] Thousands of Palestinians in Khan Yunis in Gaza have taken to the streets, demanding that Hamas surrender We are too caught up in the past. For some, the past is filled with grief, fear, and anger. As Hannah Arendt observed, “Time does not run backwards.” Yet many in our community still harbour […]

[TLM Editorial] It is likely too late to examine and investigate the motives of Debretsion and his associates, including their cadres and military officials. Every action they took continues to baffle many Tigrayans. By now, it has become clear that we should not continue in wonderment; the stakes are too high for us to remain […]

“To have a rested mind is a state of ignorance. One must always find something that he can do to think and bring ideas which could be realized for what one is interested in, either for the entire society or for individuals.” Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz [TLM Editorial View] 70 Enderta Global Advocacy inspires and encourages […]

[TLM Editorial View] I read an article with many opinions and opposing views. I found myself slanted regarding the functions and nature of the retired ambassadors on many social media, muted without guidance, and still settling into the new and strange American social systems, while Tigray is in a political inferno. The Tigray communities in […]

[TLM Editorial View] This editorial view intends to address the complex and complicated TPLF politics in Tigrai and the Diaspora by infusing theoretical explanations and furnishing some ideological tenets for clarity and to overcome the dearth of political culture amongst TPLF supporters and genuine scholars. Furthermore, this editorial view will attempt to explain “National Reconciliation” […]

[TLM Editorial View] The political chaos created by the TPLF splinter group, led by Dr Debretsion, cannot be amounted to national reconciliation or a ploy to camouflage the party’s political failures and heinous human rights abuses that is designed to revive the lost public support in Tigray. The TIRA president, Lieutenant General Tadesse Werede, and […]

The Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (CoHA) signed between the TPLF and the Federal Government of Ethiopia remains precarious, with both sides exhibiting signs of distrust and escalating tensions. A commitment to CoHA and the implementation of it will be essential if they hope to avoid a return to conflict and work towards a sustainable […]

We know from recent experience how well the TPLF regime understands the language of resistance, as illustrated by its precipitated pullout in the […]

The TLM Editorial View on Sebhat Nega’s Slander and Blackmail Against General Tsadkan Gebretensae: Who is Sebhat Nega Kidding? We Tegaru respect old age and represent wisdom. Thus, we Tegaru stand in utter difference in front of our elders, who are willing to help, honour, and even love them. But then, when one comes across […]

[TLM Editorial] The current treacherous political declaration by senior TDF generals represents the most significant challenge and is hard to swallow for Tigrayans. According to the Pretoria agreement, the two-year-old government allegedly has not implemented sweeping reforms, and Tigrayans are losing faith in their leadership and ability to lead. It is unfathomable to me that […]
