Tigray seeks peace and distance from the TPLF
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Fanamc
Fanamc portrays Tigray residents as eager to move on from conflict and rebuild their daily lives, free from the influence of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). The article presents this change as an aspiration for peace and development, without announcing any decision or concrete political change.
Residents of the Tigray region aspire to peace and reconstruction, and do not want their future tied to the political survival of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), Fanamc said in an opinion piece published on 22 October 2026. The Ethiopian media outlet accused the movement of putting its political interests above the population’s well-being and pursuing a policy of confrontation.
The opinion piece highlights residents’ desire to return to normal life, send their children to school and resume their activities without fear of another war. It also points to the rejection of a new conflict expressed by mothers who have suffered losses and endured the hardships of previous clashes.
The Pretoria Agreement, signed on 2 November 2022, was intended to end hostilities and open a path to peace. The opinion piece presents aspirations for stability and reconstruction as opposed to the political calculations it attributes to the TPLF.
These calls come amid tensions between the Ethiopian government and the TPLF. The previous day, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed had accused the movement of diverting aid intended for Tigray in a statement covered in the report on aid to Tigray.
