Abiy Ahmed’s turn of fortune: from Nobel Peace Prize to a fracturing Ethiopia

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, once celebrated for normalising Eritrea ties and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, now faces growing criticism as reform stalls and the country fractures along regional and religious lines. Renewed fighting in Tigray, alongside conflicts in Oromia and Amhara, has coincided with a strained Eritrea relationship and stalled economic reforms, while rapid urban renewal projects displace tens of thousands. Observers describe his governing as increasingly autocratic, driven by a Pentecostal-infused worldview and a push for sweeping modernization that risks further dissent and instability.

Ethiopian PM appoints TPLF official to lead Tigray interim government.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has appointed Getachew Reda, a senior official in the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), as head of the interim Tigray regional administration following a peace deal that ended a two-year conflict. The TPLF was removed from an official list of terrorist organizations by parliament, which said it would help bolster the November 2022 peace deal between the rebels and the federal government. Under the terms of the deal, the TPLF agreed to disarm in return for the restoration of access to Tigray, which has faced dire shortages of food, fuel, cash, and medicines.

Ethiopia removes Tigray's TPLF party from terrorism list and continues UN-ordered abuses probe.

Ethiopia's parliament has removed the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) from the list of terrorist organizations, a move that is seen as a significant step towards establishing an interim local government after a two-year civil war. The TPLF led the northern region into war with the federal government in late 2020 and was designated a terrorist group in May 2021. The delisting is a prerequisite to the TPLF's participation in an interim government, which the party nominated its spokesman, Getachew Reda, last week to lead.
