The President of the Tigray Interim Administration, Tadesse Werede, said that despite unresolved issues following the Pretoria Agreement, his administration is working to consolidate peace and avoid a return to war.

The interim president made this statement yesterday, September 24, 2025, during a meeting with Abibatu Wane, the representative of the International Organization for Migration in Ethiopia.

Tadesse Werede, who last week described the region as “under the cloud of war,” urged “the federal government to respect the key provisions of the Pretoria Peace Agreement.”

The interim president, who spoke at a two-day forum with senior TPLF leaders and cadres, described the political and security situation as “poor.”

During his meeting with the Head of the IOM Office in Ethiopia, Abibatu Wane, the President said that the interim administration has demonstrated its commitment to peace by strengthening its relations with the federal government, international organizations, and diplomats in Ethiopia.

He added that unresolved issues, especially the return of displaced people, humanitarian assistance, and political issues, must be resolved to achieve peace.
