The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has accused the federal government of restricting fuel supplies to the region for nearly ten months, saying the move has disrupted transportation, economic activity, and essential social services, and could undermine the implementation of the Pretoria Agreement.

In a statement, the TPLF said the federal government has also suspended budget support to the Tigray Interim Administration, paralyzing government operations across health, education, water, and sanitation sectors, and leaving public employees without salaries.

The statement further claimed that bank accounts of companies under the Tigray Reconstruction Endowment Fund (EFERT) have been frozen, halting operations and leaving tens of thousands of workers unpaid.

“It has been almost ten months since the Ethiopian government severely restricted the supply of fuel to Tigray,” the TPLF said, “paralysing public and freight transport, economic activity, and social services, including emergency ambulance services for women and children.”
