The Ethiopian government is now blaming the Tigray People’s Liberation Front [TPLF] for the problems in the country’s northern region, including the ongoing humanitarian crisis, as the TPLF says it could consider a ceasefire, in light of fast-changing political and military developments and their ramifications for the peace and security of the country.

“It has become increasingly obvious that the current regime has neither the legitimacy and the constitutional mandate nor the wherewithal to govern the country,” the TPLF said on Thursday.
