Ethiopia removes Tigray's TPLF party from terrorism list and continues UN-ordered abuses probe.

Ethiopia's parliament has removed the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) from the list of terrorist organizations, a move that is seen as a significant step towards establishing an interim local government after a two-year civil war. The TPLF led the northern region into war with the federal government in late 2020 and was designated a terrorist group in May 2021. The delisting is a prerequisite to the TPLF's participation in an interim government, which the party nominated its spokesman, Getachew Reda, last week to lead.
