PM Abiy Ahmed Criticizes TPLF and Pretoria Agreement Implementation

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed accused the TPLF of violating the 2022 Pretoria Peace Agreement. In a recent interview, he urged armed youth in Tigray to disarm and reintegrate into civilian life. Abiy argued that the TPLF's ideology and actions do not reflect the interests of the people of Tigray, claiming the group prioritized military spending over economic development and social welfare. He emphasized that the fate of the Tigray region should not be tied to the survival of a single political party. Abiy stated that while the federal government has fulfilled its obligations under the Pretoria agreement, the TPLF has failed to implement key provisions. He warned of consequences if the TPLF continues to act against peace efforts.
