Ethiopia's Abiy Ahmed appoints interim Tigray government

Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has appointed an interim government for the Tigray region. This decision comes after a recent escalation in fighting between federal forces and a rebel alliance in the area. The appointment of an interim government is seen as a step towards stabilizing the region and paving the way for elections, which are expected to be held within six months. The outcome of these elections will likely have a significant impact on the country's politics and economy.

Why it matters

The escalation in fighting between federal forces and a rebel group has led to a deterioration in the security situation. The appointment of an interim government may not immediately stabilize the region, and the promised elections may be delayed or disrupted.
