YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL FOR OUR WORKPlans to hold elections in Tigray next Ethiopian year signal progress in consolidating stability despite obstacles to transforming the region’s politics. The National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) plans to hold elections in Tigray region pursuant to last November’s peace deal that ended large-scale fighting between the federal government and Tigray forces. The vote is expected to take place next Ethiopian year, meaning between 11 September 2023 and 10 September 2024. During the war, Tigray’s opponents largely blocked trade, aid, and services to the region’s approximately six-million people.
