#Opinion: From #Pretoria to Tsimdo: #Tigray’s constitutional integrity, limits of external patronage In this opinion piece, Tsegazeab Kahsu argues that resolving Tigray’s constitutional territorial integrity and right to self-determination is essential to ending Ethiopia’s political crisis. These claims are "anchored in the 1995 Ethiopian Constitution and in the lived realities of the Tigrayan people." He warns that "genuine self-determination is not a matter for foreign sponsors to decide," noting that external interference often triggers humanitarian catastrophe. Tsegazeab critiques the "#Tsimdo" alliance with #Eritrea as a “profound irony,” turning a legitimate struggle into "proxy warfare." He emphasizes that Tigray’s future depends on "internal legitimacy, constitutional struggle, and political agency rooted in the will of the people," anchored in full implementation of the Pretoria Peace Agreement. https://addisstandard.com/?p=55328
