Tigray Rebels Deny Forming Interim Government 

Ethiopia's Tigray People's Liberation Front rebels have denied establishing a transitional administration in the northern region in accordance with the peace agreement signed in November last year. <br />A local news website reported that the TPLF had finalised the process of forming a 28-member interim regional administration, which needed approval by the federal government. <br />TPLF spokesperson Getachew Reda however says the Tigray interim administration would only be established after mutual consultations between the parties to the Pretoria agreement.
