Ethiopia's government forms caretaker administration in Tigray
Ethiopia's government has set up a six-month caretaker administration for Tigray following renewed fighting in the region. Hundreds of former combatants meanwhile have registered for a program to help them return to civilian life. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's office said Friday that the new administration will restore public services, help displaced people return and prepare for elections within six months under federal oversight.
The announcement follows the withdrawal of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front from Mekelle and the entry of government-allied fighters into the regional capital on Oct. 4. Renewed fighting in the northern region in recent weeks has effectively shattered a 2022 peace agreement that ended a devastating two-year war.
