Ethiopian Government Establishes Federal Caretaker Administration for Tigray Region
By Staff Writer
(Nairobi, Kenya) — The Council of Ministers of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has officially established a federal caretaker administration for the Tigray Region, exercising powers under Article 62(9) of the Constitution and Proclamation No. 359/1995 following a directive from the House of Federation.
The decision follows the military defeat of TPLF forces after a renewed cycle of hostilities in northern Ethiopia. State authorities declared that the interim administration is tasked with ending instability, re-establishing constitutional governance, protecting civilian rights to self-administration, and facilitating the region’s reintegration into the federal framework.
The newly established administration will govern the Tigray Region for a six-month transitional period. Operational priorities include rapidly restoring public security, rebuilding collapsed civil administrative structures from the regional to the kebele level, repairing war-damaged infrastructure, and accelerating the return of internally displaced persons. Additionally, the administration will oversee the disarmament, demobilization, and rehabilitation of regional armed groups in coordination with the Ethiopian National Defense Force, federal police, and local security forces, while preparing the region for inclusive, free, and fair elections.
Executive leadership appointments for the transitional administration are as follows:
Asefa Abrha Hagos has been appointed Chief Executive of Administration and Public Service
Dr. Teodros Aregay W/Selassie as Chief Executive of Economy and Reconstruction;
Brigadier General Gebre Egziabher Beyene Hailu as Chief Executive of Security and Peace
Redae Halefom W/Selassie as Chief Executive of Political and Public Organization;
Dr. Shishay Amare as Mayor of Mekelle.
Federal authorities emphasized that the caretaker administration will operate under direct federal supervision and policy guidance, focusing on basic service delivery, daily administration, and election preparations without entering into long-term strategic commitments prior to the formation of an elected regional government.

Something is wrong here. Are no comments allowed under this article? Posted twice but no show. What’s up?
Dear Editors,
Was there something I posted here that was found illegal? I posted it more than once but no show so far. You folks are the last people I would ever want to offend. Please let me know what it is so I keep that in mind. I am a big boy and I can take it. I am an avowed peace monger and stronger believer that learning is a never ending process. Please tell me know where I grievously but honesty erred so I can learn from it.
Blessings to you and your family.
Hi Ittu,
No comment from you was marked spam. Not clear what really happned.
Okay, I will post it again. It is so strange. I always get a notice right on top of my all other messages telling me it is ‘Your comment is awaiting moderation’ but in this case no such notice. I thought may be there a word that I mistyped that could sound profane but I could find nothing. Here is the message comment:
I hope and pray this will be the beginning of perpetual peace for the beleaguered noble people of Tigray. They have suffered enough. They have lived with constant deafening noise of gunshots since 1975. Mothers have wailed for their sons and daughters for more than 50 years. During all these years they have been told and preached by the deacons/darasaas of Marx, Lenin and Mao that when The Almighty created them, He created them to wage and live in constant wars. They were/are told they are natural born warriors/warmongers and winners. The same goes now in Amhara and Oromia regions.
I wish this group success in its endeavor to finally bring law and order to the region without infringing on the rights of the individual.
God speed!!!
