Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has announced the formation of a caretaker government in the Tigray region, aiming to restore order and oversee the transition towards elections in six months. This decision comes as federal forces have expanded their control in Tigray, following reports of heavy losses for Eritrean militias in recent confrontations. The setup of the interim government seeks to assist former fighters in returning to civilian life; however, the current atmosphere remains tense following a broken peace deal. Amid ongoing conflict, Ethiopian police are urging residents in the regional capital to help restore stability after the withdrawal of rebel forces. Flights to the regional capital, Mekelle, have resumed following its recapture, but questions about the future of peace in Ethiopia linger.
