Toronto – Getachew Reda has served the TPLF in a senior position during a time when the TPLF was in control of central power in Addis Ababa. He has also served the organization after it lost power and resorted to armed struggle to reclaim power in Addis Ababa, as some claim, which was fought for two good years leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths. During this time, he served as foreign relations.
Without an exaggeration, Getachew Reda was a propaganda machine. He had a colossal contribution for much of the support the TPLF enjoyed from the west in the form of diplomatic and political support.
After the end of the war, Getachew was appointed as president of the Interim President of the Tigray region as per the Pretoria Agreement provision which ended the war.
Although there had been rumors of split within the TPLF since after the war, it came to the surface in August 2024 when the faction under Debretsion Gebremichael organized what it called the 14th congress of the organization which the National Electoral Board rejected.
Since then the two factions have been trading accusations. It is now official that Getachew Reda and his faction is planning to establish the “Liberal Party of Tigray.” His opposition to the TPLF leaders seems to be growing.
In a two parts interview with state owned media, Fana Broadcasting, which went viral, Getachew, who is currently serving Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government as an advisor on East African Affairs, made several allegations and assertions. Watch part I of his interview below, and share your views in the comment section.
