Head of Tigray resigns

THE head of Ethiopia’s Tigray region government has resigned, his deputy said on yesterday, without giving details.

Mulu Nega was appointed head of the federal government-appointed interim administration in November during a military offensive launched in the northern region after regional forces attacked its bases there.

His deputy Abebe Gebrehiwot Yihdego told Reuters of his resignation. Mulu did not respond to phone calls seeking comment.

The Prime Minster’s spokeswoman and a government spokesman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
