Toronto – The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has reportedly offered Tadesse Worede, President of Tigray Interim Administration whose terms in office was extended last week, two conditions or face a military measure.
Sources with links to the region on Saturday reported that one of the conditions he is offered is to coordinate with the TPLF and “continue the struggle” (against the Federal government).
The second option is, according to the report, to resign “peacefully” with the right to live in Mekelle or with an arrangement to emigrate to a country of his choice. No further explanation is provided as to how TPLF can arrange an Immigration based on Tadesse’s choice.
The last option is, if he rejects the above two, to face a military measure.
According to the source, the organization is making arrangements to tender the decision to Tadesse via elders, religious leaders and politicians.
Borkena was unable to verify the report independently from sources in the region.
What is known so far is that the TPLF has officially rejected the extension of Tadesse Worede’s terms as president of the interim administration asserting that the Federal government does not have authority to take a unilateral action on it. The latter told the BBC Amharic service that the extension is legal and constitutional.
In an apparent response to it, the TPLF this week abrogated the Pretoria Agreement which ended the two years bloody war against the Federal government. It was signed in November 2022.
Tadesse has also rejected the TPLF’s opposition to the extension of his terms. There are also reports Tadesse vowed not to leave the Tigray region for fear of possible military action from the TPLF.
Tadesse’s term was extended last week after an evaluative meeting with the Federal authorities on the performance of his government the result of which is not announced to the public.
The Federal government has not yet remarked on the situation developing in Tigray after his appointment which seems to suggest a renewed conflict.
