Date: 30 May 2025

Classification: HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – EYES ONLY
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Intelligence gathered by Horn of Africa Geopolitical Review (HAGR), corroborated by multiple human and digital sources from Asmara, confirms that a high-level TPLF criminal network, including senior political leaders and remnants of rogue TDF generals, covertly traveled to Eritrea’s capital, Asmara, during the Eritrean regime’s 34th Independence Day celebrations.
The visit, intentionally hidden from public and media scrutiny, involved secret negotiations and strategic meetings with President Isaias Afwerki and PFDJ’s top military and intelligence officials.
The mission, held under extreme secrecy with facial masks and dark sunglasses to avoid
identification, signifies a renewed subversive alliance between TPLF’s anti-reform elements and the Eritrean genocidal regime — posing an imminent threat to Ethiopian national security,federal unity, and Tigray’s fragile peace.
II. KEY INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED
The following individuals were confirmed to have participated in this covert operation:
- Fetlework Gebregziabher – Senior TPLF Political Operative
Allegedly reactivating her political network for external coordination against Tigray Interim
Government and Federal authorities.
Held direct talks with Eritrean military intelligence.
- General Haileselassie Girmay (“Wdi Embyetey”) – Notorious Rogue Commander Known for his allegiance to the old TPLF guard and resistance to military reform.
Involved in confidential operations planning with Eritrean generals. - General Mahsho Beyene – Eastern Tigray Zone Militarized Instigato Engaged in coordinating parallel armed group support within eastern corridors.
Repeated prior communications with Eritrean defense sector. - Colonel Gebre Gebresdekan (alias “Gebere Adiete”) – Intelligence-Linked Actor Known facilitator between rogue TDF networks and Eritrean operatives.
- Berhane Gebregiorgis – Previously Arrested for his illegal visit to Asmara for
Espionage/Smuggling
Released under suspicious circumstances reportedly orchestrated by TPLF military elites. Present in Asmara again during this covert visit. - Tekelay Gebremedhin – Administrator of Northeastern Tigray
Political arm of the rogue faction consolidating regional destabilization efforts.
- Stalin Gebreselassie – Head of Zara Media (TPLF-affiliated propaganda arm)
Flew to Asmara separately but held closed-door meetings with PFDJ officials. Discussed coordinated media warfare and disinformation campaigns targeting the Tigray Interim Government and Federal system. - Additional Unidentified Escorts and Operatives Estimated 4–6 individuals accompanied the core group. Observed by local intelligence wearing face masks, sunglasses, and using diplomatic Eritrean vehicles.
III. PURPOSE OF THE VISIT
HAGR sources confirm that the core agenda included:
Strategic Anti-Federal Alliance Formation:
Drafting a clandestine framework to coordinate against the Ethiopian Federal Government’s influence in the Tigray region and nationally.
Undermining the Pretoria Peace Agreement
Renewed efforts to dismantle the Pretoria Accord by reactivating armed networks and aligning military tactics with Eritrean support.
Military Reconfiguration Talks:
Discussion of rearming select rogue TDF units with logistics and intelligence support from Eritrea.
Political Sabotage & Media Warfare Strategy:
Propaganda coordination between Zara Media and PFDJ-linked outlets to spread
disinformation, discredit reformist elements in Tigray, and create confusion within Federal
structures.
IV. INTELLIGENCE VALIDATION
This intelligence was confirmed by:
Trusted Human Assets in Asmara with access to high-level Eritrean circles. Digital Intercepts and movement analysis matched with entry records and vehicle tracking.
Cross-Verification with Tigray-based Reformist Intelligence Officers.
The recent reported theft of Debretsion Gebremichael’s encrypted laptop has added further alarm. Sources indicate it contained high-level communications, operational planning drafts, and foreign contact files — now feared to be compromised, prompting internal panic among PFDJ and TPLF hardliners.
V. STRATEGIC WARNING AND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
To Ethiopian Federal Authorities:
This report must be treated with the utmost urgency. Ignoring these developments would be a strategic miscalculation with severe national security consequences.
Immediate recommendations:
- Initiate a Covert National Counter-Intelligence Operation to trace returning individuals from Eritrea and monitor their communications and financial transactions.
- Launch Diplomatic Pressure Campaign via IGAD and AU mechanisms to hold Eritrea accountable for continued interference and regional destabilization.
- Publicly Reaffirm Pretoria Agreement Compliance by isolating and exposing rogue actors inside Tigray and their external backers 4. Reinforce Internal Federal Security Briefings on emerging TPLF–PFDJ axis threats to civil peace and national cohesion.
- Investigate Media Outlets like Zara Media for involvement in foreign-aligned destabilization and coordinate with cyber/intel units for content tracing.
VI. CONCLUSION
The TPLF criminal remnants’ secret visit to Asmara — confirmed by multiple intelligence layers — represents a betrayal of Tigray’s sacrifice and Ethiopia’s fragile post-war recovery. These actors are conspiring with one of the region’s most brutal and genocidal regimes.
The Ethiopian Federal Government must act decisively, wisely, and without delay.
