Protesters in Kobo Demand Halt to Southern Tigray Provisional Elections

Residents and community representatives from six woredas in the Raya area held a protest in Kobo, North Wollo, opposing the ongoing provisional administration elections in Southern Tigray. Participants from areas including Alamata, Korem, and Wofla argue the electoral process lacks neutrality and inclusiveness. The protesters have urged the federal and regional governments to suspend the elections immediately. They contend that the process should only resume after territorial, identity, and security disputes are resolved through legal and constitutional mechanisms.
