Ethiopia: Abiy Ahmed Slams TPLF as ‘Foreign Proxy’ Amid Renewed Tigray Tensions | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost examines the deepening crisis in northern Ethiopia as Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed launches a direct verbal assault against the leadership of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front. The political fallout escalated after PM Abiy accused the TPLF of remaining trapped in “outdated political ideas” and acting as a proxy for foreign powers seeking to destabilise the country. The sharp rhetoric comes amid growing fears over the collapse of the November 2022 Pretoria Peace Agreement, with federal authorities alleging systematic violations, troop mobilisation, and renewed military skirmishes along regional borders. Further complicating the breakdown is a bitter internal power struggle within Tigray’s political leadership, raising alarm across the Horn of Africa over potential regional spillover. With trust between Addis Ababa and Tigrayan officials eroding rapidly, Ethiopia faces a critical test of whether fragile diplomatic channels can prevent a return to full-scale conflict. Alyson Le Grange brings you the details.
