Toronto – The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has once again dominated headlines in Ethiopian news outlets over the past few weeks, this time due to internal acrimony and division—apparently a tactic the TPLF has historically used for political maneuvering. The current division appears to center around organizing a party congress. The faction led by Getachew Reda has repeatedly stated that actions that could lead the Tigray region into another war are unacceptable.

Just days after the TPLF received a certificate of registration from the National Electoral Board of Ethiopia (NEBE)—which is said to be a registration under “special condition”—Getachew Reda, president of the interim administration in Tigray, claimed that the TPLF submitted a fraudulent document to the board.

Getachew reportedly lodged a formal complaint with NEBE, asserting that the certificate is based on fraudulent documentation. In his letter, he mentioned that “the application that the TPLF submitted to NEBE is not known to the central committee of the organization.”

He argued that no document was signed by the central committee for the purpose of registration and that individuals acted independently, against organization’s practices.

On the other hand, the TPLF is dissatisfied with the registration certificate it received from NEBE. In a statement released on Saturday, the organization claimed that the certificate is unrelated to its demands and does not address the issues it raised with the board.

The TPLF was designated as a terrorist organization in May 2021 after it attacked the Northern Command of the Ethiopian Defense Force, triggering a bloody two-year war.

The TPLF has stated that it does not wish to be registered under the amended proclamation and that its demand was to regain its previous legal status (the status it held before the war that resulted in the deaths of an estimated one million people).

NEBE’s statement earlier this week pointed out that there is no legal provision for the TPLF to regain its former legal status.

The only option for the TPLF is to be registered under the amended proclamation (1332/2016), which stipulates that political entities involved in violence or rebellious activity can only be registered again under “special condition” if a relevant federal government body confirms that they are no longer engaged in such activities. It was the Ministry of Justice that wrote a letter to NEBE in early July 2024, confirming that the TPLF had “agreed” to operate peacefully and legally within the “constitutional democratic system.”

Meanwhile, 14 TPLF central committee members released a statement on Sunday expressing that they will not participate in the upcoming party congress, warning that it could lead to a complicated situation and that those who organized it will bear responsibility for any consequences.

  1. “When somebody else put you in PRISON that is bad, but when you yourself put you (& everyone else) in (Ethnic) PRISON, that is horror. ” , SG

    Link = youtube.com/watch?v=nU_EbAlzvUQ

    That is the problem with these (foreign sponsored (ignited) ) “Liberation Fronts” (war lords) , they mistakenly take Self-imprisonment as ‘liberation’, and if & when they get a chance, they take everyone else with them to hell & suffer; all based on their tight-grip on ‘external’ FALSE IDENTITY ( body, gender, ethnic, language, village, color, rich poor, just about anything that emanates from their ‘physiological cocktails’ they indiscriminately gathered from birth forward…

    Hint, you are NOT created. You jumped into creation, after the fact. What you see outside is NOT your “life’ , it is an expression you have little to none part in, and it will always be there without you, but your “life’ (which is you) is inside. If & when you step out one nanometer ‘your body’ will fall ‘lifeless’.
    Hint #2, “life’ is singular. What is in you is in everything else in ‘creation’ (including the Earth & the entire Universe). ‘Duality’ has many human interpretations, (day and night… etc.) but , even based on the Bible ” At first there was nothing ( Not-a-thing) ( thing = creation) “. So physicality is creation, and you are “life’ free of physicality. You created a ‘toy’, you jumped in it, and you say you are the ‘toy’ , and no one will argue, till you (one by one) figure it all out in-time. Remember, this is NOT a ‘group’ game, you came alone & helpless & with ‘nothing’, a couple (accidentally) prepared the ‘body’ for you.

    See, the ancient Egyptians made the ‘Pyramids’ and left, today we do not know why they made it. Likewise what you consider ‘important’ is only important for you in your time (in your mind), and no one will figure out what it is you did & what for, after some ‘TIME’.
    We do not know if the Pyramid makers suffered their ‘creations’. One thing is fore sure, TPLF is suffering its own creations right here right NOW!!!
    KARMA ( your actions (running in real time))

    Enjoy your journey!

    Be well.

  2. Was this minted when TPLF was in power?
    Ethiopia’s Election and Political Parties Registration Proclamations 1162/2011 and 1332/2016.
    Sometimes we bit our own bullets.
    When in power make rule of the game the fairest. Because it may come to haunt you.
