"It is imperative that another devastating conflict is avoided."

The European Union’s (EU) Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Anouar El Anouni, issued a statement on April 30, 2026, voicing the EU's concerns, calling for immediate de-escalation, and warning against actions that could imperil the Pretoria Deal. The statement came amid rising tensions after the TPLF moved to restore the pre-war political structures in Tigray Regional State, a step that challenged the Interim Administration, led by Tadesse Werede (Lt. Gen.), created under the Pretoria agreement. Days later, the restored regional council elected Debretsion Gebremichael (PhD), the TPLF chairman, as regional president, reviving the political order associated with the disputed 2020 regional election, one of the flashpoints in the breakdown of relations between the federal government and teh TPLF before the civil war.
