𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 @AbiyAhmedAli’𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘆𝗮 In his interview with the Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC), Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed addressed the future of the Tigray region, the TPLF, the Pretoria Peace Agreement and Ethiopia’s relations with Eritrea. Here are the key points of his message. 🔹 𝗧𝗜𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗬 𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗣𝗟𝗙 The Tigrayan people have existed for thousands of years, while the TPLF is a political organization of approximately 50 years. The people of Tigray will continue to exist regardless of the organization’s future. “Political organizations rise and fall, governments change, but the people and the country continue to exist.” 🔹 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗜𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗔𝗡 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗗 𝗔 𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗩𝗬 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗘 The TPLF’s policies and political outlook do not reflect the dignity and identity of the Tigrayan people. Prime Minister Abiy emphasized that the people’s existence and security must never be tied to the survival of a political organization. 🔹 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗥 𝗙𝗨𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 Prime Minister Abiy urged Tigrayan youth not to sacrifice their lives for political leaders, arguing that young people should pursue their own future and their country’s development rather than continue fighting. “Why should you die so that they can live comfortably?” He called on young people to put down their Kalashnikovs and return to education, business, agriculture and development. 🔹 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗔 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗘, 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗘𝗗 𝗪𝗔𝗥 The Pretoria Agreement was intended to end hostilities, restore basic services and facilitate disarmament. Prime Minister Abiy said the TPLF had undermined this process by pursuing weapons procurement and recruiting young people by force instead of disarming. He stressed that war, particularly war fought for the interests of external forces, brings devastating consequences for Tigrayan youth and society. 🔹 𝗧𝗜𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗬 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗙𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗣𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 Prime Minister Abiy called for the Tigray region to move beyond displacement and recurring conflict toward peace, irrigation, agriculture, mining, industry and urban corridor development. He also emphasized the need for an environment in which the people of Tigray can freely choose their political direction. 🔹 𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗢𝗥𝗚𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗭𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 Prime Minister Abiy invoked historical figures such as Emperor Yohannes IV and Ras Alula, emphasizing Tigray’s historical contribution to Ethiopia. He said that the TPLF’s political choices and alliances contradict the historical legacy it invokes. 🔹 𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗔 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗭𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 The Prime Minister criticized Eritrea’s ruling establishment, the PFDJ (Shaebia), for neglecting its people’s development while serving forces hostile to Ethiopia. He contrasted Eritrea’s former industrial and commercial prominence with the decline of its cities and called for peaceful relations and shared development. He warned that if Shaebia rejects the call for peace and continues on a destructive path, the consequences would be extremely severe. 🔹 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗪𝗔𝗥 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗣𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 Across the interview, Prime Minister Abiy’s message was that political organizations must not place their interests above the people, young people should not be sacrificed for endless conflict, and both Tigray and the wider region should prioritize peace, cooperation and development. @AmbBirukUK @PMEthiopia @MFAEthiopia @UKinEthiopia @ebczena #Ethiopia #AbiyAhmed #EBC #Tigray #TPLF #PretoriaAgreement #Eritrea #HornOfAfrica #PeaceAndDevelopment #Medemer

In 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘧 — 𝘖𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳 2026 𝘌𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s five-year vision sets out an ambitious agenda for building a new Ethiopian civilization. The vision spans economic self-reliance, food security, technological innovation, institutional reform, national defence, and strategic maritime access. At its heart lies 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘳—the idea that unity, cooperation and collective strength can help Ethiopia navigate a rapidly changing world. The central message is that Ethiopia must learn from its history without being confined by it; modernize without losing its roots; strengthen its sovereignty; and build institutions and capabilities that endure across generations. The ambition is bigger than development. It is about Ethiopia’s capacity to determine its own destiny and shape its place in the world. Can this vision translate into a lasting national legacy? 📖 Read the full article in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘧 — 𝘖𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳 2026 𝘌𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: drive.google.com/file/d/1fv2… @AmbBirukUK @PMEthiopia @MFAEthiopia @UKinEthiopia #Ethiopia #AbiyAhmed #Medemer #EthiopianRenaissance #NationalDevelopment #HornOfAfrica #TheBrief
