Ethiopian lawmakers ruled Tuesday that federal officials should cut off contact with leaders of the northern Tigray region, which defied Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed last month by holding elections his government deemed “illegal“.
The decision by the House of Federation, the upper house of parliament, furthers the breakdown in relations between PM Abiy and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which dominated Ethiopian politics before Abiy came to power in 2018 and is still in command in Tigray.
