Ethiopia's parliament on Wednesday removed the Tigray region's main political movement from a list of terrorist organisations, a major step towards establishing an interim local government after a two-year civil war.
The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), which led the northern region into war with the federal government in late 2020, was designated a terrorist group in May 2021.
The conflict ended with a truce signed in Pretoria last November after tens of thousands of people were killed and millions forced from their homes.
