Ethiopia PM Abiy installs Tigray caretaker govt, sets six-month election timeline

Ethiopia's PM Abiy Ahmed has appointed a caretaker administration for Tigray to restore stability and organize elections within six months, following renewed clashes between a rebel alliance and federal forces. The move signals an attempt to reassert federal control after the 2020-2022 war, but the timeline is ambitious given ongoing insecurity. The outcome will shape Ethiopia's internal stability and regional dynamics in the Horn of Africa.
