The opposition party Salsay Weyane Tigray has raised concerns over a worsening security crisis in Tigray, warning that escalating tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea could lead to renewed conflict in the war-torn Tigray. The stalled implementation of the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (CoHA) has resulted in a dangerous impasse, sparking criticism from the party, which warns that continued inaction could have devastating consequences.

In a statement released yesterday, Salsay Weyane Tigray criticized the international community’s silence, calling it “unacceptable and deeply concerning” given the region’s worsening humanitarian situation. The party cautioned that millions of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees are in “abject squalor”, with alarming reports of rising death tolls in IDP camps due to severe shortages of essential supplies.

Despite repeated appeals for intervention, humanitarian relief efforts continue to dwindle, hindered by a lack of political will, looming threats of renewed conflict, and uncertainty over long-term solutions. Salsay Weyane Tigray has urged regional actors and the Ethiopian government to prioritize peaceful resolutions before the crisis spirals out of control.

“We cannot afford another catastrophic conflict,” the statement read, calling for immediate global action to address both security risks and humanitarian concerns.

The party also warned that without a diplomatic resolution, Tigray could once again become a battleground, further destabilizing the region. Salsay Weyane Tigray echoed calls for urgent intervention, stressing that without swift action, both security and humanitarian challenges in Tigray could reach irreversible levels.
