Ethiopia’s Tigray rebels issue fresh demands as ceasefire calls grow

Ethiopia’s Tigray rebels on Thursday issued a new list of demands which the group said must be met before engaging ceasefire talks with the government.

In a statement, the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front called for a transitional administration in Addis Ababa.

“It has become increasingly obvious that the current regime has neither the legitimacy and the constitutional mandate nor the wherewithal to govern the country,” reads part of the statement.
