By ISSAs tensions between two TPLF factions rise, urgent measures are needed to prevent another crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray region. Both factions seek support from the Tigray security forces, which is a dangerous move against peace. So far, the security forces have largely kept their neutral posture, with their leaders committing to maintaining peace and preventing looming anarchy in Tigray. At this point, any move by Tigray’s security forces to support either faction would plunge the region into more violence. Most Tigray security force members are young, so any misstep by their leaders could lead them into violence that will be hard to control.
