Prepared by: Horn of Africa Geopolitical Review (HAGR) & Tigray Herald Security and Diplomatic Analysis Division
Executive Intelligence Summary
A highly classified intelligence operation has uncovered a series of covert and coordinated actions by the outlawed TPLF’s “Above the Core” military faction, led by a core network ofcommanders and civilian enablers. Under the false pretext of a board consultation within the EFFORT conglomerate held at Martyrs Hall, Mekelle, the meeting in fact served as the latest stage of a clandestine power grab designed to:
Sabotage the Pretoria Peace Agreement,
Destabilize the Tigray Interim Government, and Plunge Tigray into another devastating internal war, while collaborating with Eritrea’s authoritarian regime.
Led by Tadesse Worede, General Fisseha Kidanu (Manjus), General John Medidi, and Wedi Embeytey (Haileselassie Girmay), this outlawed military faction is exploiting political confusion,public exhaustion, and institutional fragmentation to militarize internal disputes and seizestrategic control across Southern, Southeastern, and Western Tigray.
Strategic Intelligence Warning
The actions outlined in this report amount to a serious violation of international peace protocols and threaten to undermine not only the stability of Tigray, but also the regional security architecture of the Horn of Africa.These developments constitute:A deliberate violation of the Pretoria Peace Agreement.A de facto declaration of war against the people of Southern and Southeastern Tigray (Raya and Enderta Zones).A covert alliance with Eritrea’s regime in violation of Ethiopian sovereignty.A hostile and unconstitutional takeover strategy aimed at dismantling the Tigray Interim Government and sabotaging post-genocide recovery.
This intelligence is confirmed and reliable. It is not speculation, conjecture, or partisan framing. Immediate action is required to prevent irreversible escalation.
Operational Directives and Covert Agendas
1. EFFORT Board Used as Front for Military Coordination
What was publicly framed as an internal consultation at EFFORT was in fact a military command meeting.Dr. Abraham Tekeste and Fetlework “Monjorino” Gebregziabher served as cover figures.Actual authority was exercised by above-core military operatives plotting subversive action.
2. Endorsement and Coordination of Isaias Afwerki’s Belligerent InterviewIsaias Afwerki’s recent aggressive and dehumanizing public interview was coordinated throughTPLF’s internal military-media channels.The outlawed faction endorsed the message, signaling ideological alignment and operationalcoordination with PFDJ (Eritrean regime).
3. Military Plans to Occupy Southern and Southeastern Tigray Wadi Raya tasked with leading an armed infiltration of Raya and Enderta Zones, under thepretext of eliminating TPF presence.John Medidi and Gebre Adet directed to block support from the Tigray Peace Force (TPF) anddestabilize peaceful local administrations.
4. Covert Troop Transfer to Eritrea for Joint Military TrainingManaged by Wedi Embeytey (Haileselassie Girmay) and Abrha Tesfay (Dinkul).Forces are being prepared for joint operations as part of the illegal ጽምዶ military pact withEritrea.
5. Controlled Media Disinformation Campaign Zera Media and Dedebit Media were selectively briefed.The broader public is being deliberately misled, with false “breaking news” tactics used tomaintain emotional control and conceal impending military operations.Led by Gebre Adet and Leya Kassa.
6. Western Tigray Targeted for Future Invasion After destabilizing the South, the outlawed faction plans to launch an unsanctioned militarycampaign to retake Western Tigray.No coordination is planned with the African Union, the federal government, or diplomaticframeworks.
7. Internal Economic Sabotage and Resource Exploitation Business taxation orders tripled under the command of Emmanuel Assefa and Leya Kassa,funneling funds to the war efort.Tigray Export & Trade Agency seized by military actors to establish a shadow war economy.
8. Camouflaged Relations with Addis Ababa Outward diplomatic signals to the federal government are being maintained by Tadesse Worede and Fisseha Kidanu to mask preparations for military escalation.
9. Political Silencing and Diplomatic IsolationDebretsion Gebremichael and Dr. Addis Alem Balema have been ordered to restrict themselvesto diplomatic appearances only no media, no mobilization.Alem Gebrewahed excluded from all political decision-making until further notice.
Legal and Geopolitical Implications
This coordinated shadow coup represents a flagrant breach of multiple national and international obligations:Treason against the people of Tigray, especially the civilians in Raya and Enderta. Violation of Ethiopia’s territorial integrity via collusion with Eritrea. Sabotage of the Pretoria Peace Agreement, which has international legal recognition. Obstruction of Tigray’s transitional justice, economic recovery, and democratic path,weaponize the return of IDPs peacefully.
Final Strategic Message
This is no longer a political factional dispute it is a premeditated campaign of militarized subversion. These covert directives are calculated steps toward war, cloaked in administrative language and public disinformation.The international community, the Ethiopian federal government, and Tigrayan civil society must:
Publicly condemn these actions,Launch an immediate independent investigation, and Hold the perpetrators accountable before irreversible damage is done. Failure to act decisively will embolden extremist actors, lead to civil collapse in Tigray, andreignite a multi-front conflict involving regional and international actors.
