Getachew Reda Raises Concerns Over TPLF Leadership and TIRA Challenges
--------------------------------------
In an interview on 29 July, Getachew Reda, President of the Tigray Interim Regional Administration (TIRA) and vice chair of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), addressed critical issues facing the region and expressed concerns about the actions and intentions of the TPLF leadership regarding the upcoming congress.

Accusations Against TPLF Leadership
---------------------------------------
Getachew accused senior TPLF leaders of undermining, if not attempting to dismantle, the TIRA. He alleged that their actions have significantly hindered his administration's ability to focus on the welfare of the people, as they have been preoccupied with defending themselves against internal sabotage.

Since assuming the presidency, Getachew noted that TIRA has been overwhelmed with internal conflicts, leaving little room to address the needs of the people of Tigray. He emphasized that this preoccupation has diverted attention from critical issues such as returning IDPs, corruption, land grabbing, illegal mining, and the ongoing security crisis.

Misrepresentation of Facts
----------------------------
In his interview, Getachew accused Debretsion of misrepresenting facts about the recent Senior Cadres’ Conference in Mekelle, as well as his meetings with the Ethiopian Prime Minister, the Ethiopian Election Commission, and the Prosperity Party (PP) about the party's legal reinstatement versus re-registration and the new legislation related to it.

Concerns Over Upcoming TPLF Congress
--------------------------------------------
Getachew expressed deep concern about the upcoming TPLF Congress, which he described as lacking democratic discussion and being ill-intentioned. He criticized the process as being focused on eliminating certain party members rather than addressing relevant problems/challenges and discussing reform agendas. He argued that the congress has become a platform for power struggles and avoiding accountability.

Use of Defamation
--------------------
Getachew highlighted the use of defamation as a tool by the TPLF against him and members of the interim government. He mentioned two specific documents that were circulated down till the last administrative unit in Tigray by the TPLF office, specifically by a certain individual [Alem Gebrewahid], which he claimed were defamatory in nature.

Power Struggles in TPLF Meetings
-------------------------------------
According to Getachew, the TPLF meetings and appraisals over the past years have been dominated by internal power struggles rather than addressing the actual problems faced by the people of Tigray. He criticized the leadership for their collective failure to focus on the region's pressing issues.

Rejected Requests for Review of ‘Mekete’
--------------------------------------------
Getachew revealed that his repeated requests for a review of ‘Mekete’ (the operational management of the war) have been consistently rejected by the TPLF politburo. He suggested that this rejection is likely due to a fear of accountability.

Accusations Regarding the Pretoria Agreement
----------------------------------------------------
In his interview, Getachew addressed accusations made by Debretsion, who blamed him for the Pretoria Permanent Ceasefire Agreement and accused him of dismantling the legitimate government without a mandate. Getachew stated that he was denied the opportunity to defend himself during a recent meeting of senior cadres, describing the approach as mischievous.

Focus on Key Issues
----------------------
Despite the internal conflicts, Getachew affirmed his commitment to tackling major problems in Tigray, such as corruption, land grabbing, illegal mining, and the security crisis. He emphasized the importance of holding the party congress only after all legal procedures are followed, and internal harmony is achieved to prevent future conflicts with the federal government.

Progress in Returning Internally Displaced Tigreans
--------------------------------------------------------
Getachew reported some progress in Raya and Tselemti in returning internally displaced Tigreans. However, he noted that the return of Western Tigray's residents to their homes would proceed cautiously, with arrangements made to avoid repeating past governance mistakes.

Getachew's interview highlights significant internal strife within the TPLF and the challenges faced by the TIRA in addressing the needs of the people of Tigray amidst ongoing power struggles and accusations.

Media cooptation refers to how media organizations are influenced, controlled, or co-opted by external entities such as governments. This often results in the media compromising its independence, objectivity, and journalistic integrity. Cooptation can occur through various means, including financial influence and access and privileges, as observed here by Elias Meseret.

``Where a photojournalist trades in photographs, a poetjournalist, according to Dworkin, would trade in “newspoems.” It’s a similar idea to what the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks called “verse journalism,” which she defined as “poet as fly-on-the-wall” and “poet as all-seeing eye.” Brooks was a prolific writer of verse journalism, but Dworkin thinks there isn’t anybody treating it as a serious craft of its own these days. And so the Institute for Poetjournalism was born.``

Institute for Poetjournalism founder Aaron Dworkin hopes a cash prize and a wire service for "newspoems" will help the form take off.

The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has been publicly downplaying atrocities, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide committed by Abiy Ahmed's regime in Tigray. It has also been known for blocking all kinds of accountability mechanisms regarding the war on Tigray.

Now, with its leading actor, Daniel Bekele, leaving office, it seems some people are lionizing the commission as if it were doing its job and is now being challenged by the government, which is far from the truth.

It committed crimes by siding with the criminal regime, and Daniel Bekele should be tried in courts as one of its criminal members when the appropriate time comes. If you want to know how complicit and biased the commission was under Daniel's leadership, read this article compiled and hosted by the Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School.

While he has been the target of racist attacks and threats throughout his time in office, Diaby emphasised that this wasn't the primary reason for his decision. However, in various interviews, he declared an increasingly hostile mood in the parliament and society.

''Semhal M. Zenawi uses an analysis of the Tigray war to review the shifts in Ethiopia’s political economy that fuelled polarisation inside the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) coalition. She situates the war within structural social and economic changes and shows the consequences of liberalisation on nation-building in Ethiopia. By providing insights into the factional fighting that shook the ERPDF in the 2010s, she critically unpacks how even though it was a long time before they admitted it, the political elites have unravelled their once singular economic policy model. This interview is a first step towards filling the void in political economy analyses of the current civil war in Ethiopia.''

''This report concludes that, on the evidence currently available, there is a reasonable basis to believe that members of the ENDF, the Amhara Special Forces (“ASF”), and the EDF have committed genocide against Tigrayans.

There is a reasonable basis to believe that at least some members of the ENDF or civilian officials associated with the Ethiopian federal government, the ASF or civilian officials associated with affiliated militias or the Amhara regional government, and the EDF possessed the intent to destroy Tigrayans as an ethnic group, in whole or in part, as such.

With the intent described in this report, there is a reasonable basis to believe that EDF, ASF, and ENDF members carried out at least four acts constituting the crime of genocide: killing Tigrayans, causing serious bodily or mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions of life upon Tigrayans calculated to bring about their destruction, and imposing measures intended to prevent births among Tigrayans.

There is a reasonable basis to believe that at least some statements reportedly made on social media by certain individuals also met the requirements for direct and public incitement to genocide, and were again made with the requisite intent.''

Ethiopia’s war in Tigray left more than 400,000 soldiers and as many as 300,000 civilians dead. This report outlines a reasonable basis to believe that the Tigrayans were victims of genocide and calls for a full investigation and accountability for the suffering created.

''Federal authorities are ostensibly trimming public expenditures yet allocating substantial resources to urban aesthetics. The "architectural renaissance" in Addis Abeba might mislead a casual observer into thinking Ethiopia has discovered newfound oil wealth. However, the country has defaulted on its external debt commitment for the first time, endured double-digit inflation for consecutive years, and effectively halted new capital projects nationwide. The share of capital expenditure in the budget to the GDP has continued to decline since 2017.''

War on Tigray Again?

-----------------------
PM Abiy Ahmed held meetings on launching a war on Tigray in the presence of, among others, the current IGAD Executive Secretary.

UMD Media has received credible information that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has been holding consultations over the past few months with select individuals to decide how to handle the situation in Tigray, including waging a full-blown war.

During these discussions, led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, the group identified what they called three primary risks if Tigray remains as it is without further weakening, according to UMD Media sources: 1) Tigray’s current status could embolden Amhara Fano and other forces such as Oromo Liberation Army who are fighting against the federal government; 2) Fano and Eritrea might ally with Tigray to strengthen the challenge against the government; 3) Tigray might hold the government accountable for crimes committed during the 2020-2022 war.

The meeting considered various measures, ranging from targeting Tigray’s military and political leaders through isolated poisonings and assassinations to waging a full-scale war on Tigray.

The pressure to find solutions to the disinformation problem has led to countless projects, initiatives, think tanks and conferences. The result: a flood of studies on disinformation's impact, and the creation of numerous tools to monitor and tackle it.

However, the models and the proposed solutions are usually developed in the Global North and evaluated from this perspective — and therefore aren't necessarily applicable to other regions.

While SWT welcomed the international call for peace, it criticized the diplomatic language used to describe the legally and historically recognized territories of Tigray as “contested areas of Northern Ethiopia.” According to the weekly press release from SWT, these areas are constitutionally recognized territories of Tigray, currently occupied by force following the genocidal war, and are not subject to legitimate dispute as mischaracterized by the embassies.

The party also criticized the joint statement of the embassies for their use of “Northern Ethiopia” and considered it a deliberate avoidance of acknowledging the war on Tigray [Tigray War] for what it is, which SWT argues diminishes the perceived severity of the war and the international crimes committed.

Salsay Weyane Tigray calls on international actors to use precise language that characterizes and explains the genocidal war that ravaged Tigray.

ሓሳባት ሳልሳይ ወያነ ትግራይ (ሳወት) Salsay Weyane Tigray has consistently called for an end to the ongoing silent genocide against the people of Tigray. The party, advocating for an independent Tigray, has been vocal about various issues, including ongoing ethnic cleansing in occupied territories, forced displacement, famine, coerced identity changes by Eritrean and Amhara forces, youth exodus, lack of basic services, and access to education.

Salsay Weyane Tigray now stands as a Tigrayan nationalist party, with social democracy as its ideological foundation and a strategic aim of achieving independent statehood for Tigray. Social democracy as an ideology is chosen for its alignment with various aspects of Tigrayan identity, history, and values. Specifically, it resonates with Tigray’s collective identity, historical claims for autonomy and self-administration, and aspirations for individual freedom and rights.

Social democracy aligns with Tigrayan values such as solidarity and promotes cooperation without regard to class and other differences. Furthermore, the party’s political programs include social justice and balanced economic growth through demand-based intervention, which involves fostering pure economic competition with the private sector under a transparent legal framework, reflecting the governance principles upheld by social democrats.

Salsay Weyane Tigray, one of the nationalist opposition parties in Tigray, made its political program public.
