Ethiopia’s federal government has maintained a six-month interim administration in Tigray, tasked with restoring essential public services, supporting displaced people and preparing regional elections, according to Zambianobserver.
Former Tigrayan fighters have begun registering to return to civilian life. Persistent tensions with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front and Eritrea have raised fears of further destabilisation, while international observers are calling for restraint and a return to dialogue, Zambianobserver reports.
The administration comes after fighting resumed in Tigray on 30 September 2026. It extends the interim administration announced on 16 October 2026, after the Ethiopian army retook Adwa and Axum on 13 October.
