General Tadesse Werede, and demand for their constitutional rights and peace to be restored. The TLM condemns the unconstitutional measures taken by Tigray Interim Administration President Lt. General Tadesse Werede for dismantling the zonal and […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] These are challenging times, and once again, we hear about war. A war of words is fuelling uncertainty and insecurity in Tigray. The conflicts between the TPLF-led forces and the Tigray Peace Force (TPF)—former members of the TDF—are alarming the people of Tigray, who have experienced genocide, hunger, and destruction. The situation […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] Old habits are hard to break, as the saying goes. The current political crisis in Tigray is born out of our well-founded suspicion that the TPLF does not effectively represent the interests of Tigray. We, the Tigrayans, have been trying to discover the types of documentaries supporting evidence and rhetoric the TPLF […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] As in the past, what is lacking today is the ability to reflect on the mistakes made and learn from them, as well as understand how to earn the people of Tigray’s trust and confidence. Without this capacity, Tigray’s spirit and the opportunities available to its children continue to diminish for all. […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] What can we learn from the historical events surrounding the capture or death of dictators?

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] Credit: Orya Media The current situation in Tigray is not favourable for a peaceful political dialogue among the warring political parties. This stems primarily from the fact that the TPLF leaders are dictators who seized power using force and refuse to give it up, even in the face of public demand. The […]

[TLM Editorial Viewpoint] The leadership of TPLF has taken the Tigrayan people into the abyss of poverty and ignorance, even though a highly sophisticated political system is in place to allow only the few to advance their clutches on power. As a result, Awraja’s animosity and deep-seated mistrust feed much of our involvement in today’s […]

[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 […]

Tegadalay Berhanu Kidanu, a decorated former Tigray Defence Forces (TDF) Intelligence Officer and survivor of an assassination attempt himself now in exile, has courageously exposed the TPLF-linked top TDF commanders for assassinating members of the TDF who question and expose TDF commanders’ corruption, who stole the TDF’s logistics and food aid, and who sold scrap […]

“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 […]

In such a dramatic time, a subjective opinion that one can accept or reject is not the expression of an objective truth.
