Ethiopia Insight published on 18 March 2024 a commentary titled "TPLF Needs to Chart a New Path Ahead for Tigray" by Fiseha Haftetsion, coordinator of the Policy Studies and Research Center of the TPLF.
The author, head of the Justice Bureau of Tigray until April 2023, calls on the Tigray People's Liberation Front to undertake a number of changes and reforms. Ethiopia's federal and regional constitutions contain democratic principles that must be accepted. Tigray's development program must be based on liberalism. Regional authorities need to make their positions known at the federal level. Tigray should be based on meritocracy. It needs to make better use of its natural resources. It must allow free expression but prohibit crimes like hate speech and racism. Tigrayans must be honest about the flaws within the TPLF.
