"Power Struggle in Tigray"

The internal divisions within the Tigray People’s Liberation Front both reflect and exacerbate delays in implementing the Pretoria Agreement, which brought an end to the war in Northern Ethiopia two years ago. With regional tensions on the rise in the Horn of Africa, these divisions risk fueling broader conflict. This analysis is based on interviews Gerrit Kurtz, peace and conflict researcher with a focus on conflict prevention, peacebuilding and diplomacy in the wider Horn of Africa, conducted in Mekelle in September 2024 published on African Arguments.
