 Türkiye is planning to establish local defence production facilities and military training centres in Nigeria as part of efforts to strengthen security cooperation and increase bilateral trade to $5 billion. Turkish Ambassador to Nigeria, Mehmet Poroy, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja, saying the proposed facilities would enable Türkiye to support local military equipment production rather than simply supplying weapons and equipment. He also revealed that 200 Nigerian special forces personnel were undergoing a two-month training programme in Türkiye, with plans underway to establish a similar facility in Nigeria. “We are planning to have some local production unit also in that context, not only selling to Nigeria the tools, equipment, the arms that it needs, but also the possibility of having local production here in Nigeria,” Poroy said. On trade, the ambassador said bilateral trade currently stood at approximately $2 billion, including oil and gas, but both countries were targe...

 Tigray party restores pre-war government in threat to northern Ethiopia peace


Tigray's main political party reasserted control over the northern Ethiopian region's political administration on Tuesday, following through on a threat to violate a key provision of the deal that ended a civil war with the federal government.


The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) said in a statement it had restored the legislative council that existed before the 2020-2022 civil war and that the council had elected TPLF chair Debretsion Gebremichael as regional president, Reuters reported.


The TPLF announced last month that it would restore pre-war political structures, accusing the federal government of provocation, withholding funds for paying civil servants and extending the tenure of the interim administration's president without consulting it.


The prospect prompted an adviser to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to warn that "catastrophic conflict" could return to the region.


Devastating conflict


Abiy's spokesperson, Billene Seyoum, did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for the TPLF did not respond to a request for comment about what prompted the decision or its potential consequences.


The conflict in Tigray, which drew in forces from neighbouring Eritrea, was one of the century's deadliest, killing hundreds of thousands of people through direct violence, the collapse of healthcare and famine, according to researchers.


It stemmed from a breakdown in relations between the TPLF, a guerrilla movement turned political party that dominated Ethiopian politics for nearly three decades, and Abiy, whose appointment as prime minister in 2018 ended the TPLF’s dominance.


The Pretoria Agreement, which ended the Tigray war, created an interim administration, established through dialogue between the TPLF and Ethiopia's federal government, to govern Tigray until new elections could be organised.


Tensions


The TPLF last month said it would replace the interim administration, stating that the federal had extended the term of the interim administration's president's party without consulting it.


The interim administration's president, Tadesse Worede, has said he intends to remain in his post, creating two rival authorities.


On Monday, there was an explosion near the interim administration's offices in the regional capital Mekelle, a local resident told Reuters. The BBC's Tigrinya language service quoted the police as saying a hand grenade had caused the explosion but that there were no casualties.


It was not clear who may have been responsible.
