Tigray Peace and Change Council Announces Dissolution

The Tigray Peace and Change Council, led by Lieutenant General Tsadkan Gebretensae, has announced it will no longer continue in its current form. The decision follows the federal government's announcement on Friday, October 16, 2019, that it has established an interim administration to govern the Tigray region for the next six months. The Council stated it contributed to achieving the political and military victory seen in the region. The organization included eight political parties—such as Smeret, Arena Tigray, Weledo Tigray, and Tinsae Seba Enderta—along with over ten civil society organizations and media entities. The Council served as a platform for various actors to facilitate transition processes in the region.
