History | Tigray War |
The Tigray Defence Forces (TDF) ሓይልታት ምክልኻል ትግራይ are a military structure that came into existence during the Tigray War. It consists of a merger of Special Forces of the Tigray Regional Government, defected soldiers of the Ethiopian National Defense Force,[1] local militia, members of Tigrayan political parties (TPLF, National Congress of Great Tigray, Salsay Weyane Tigray, Tigray Independence Party, ...)[2] and numerous youth who fled to the mountains.[3][4][5]
The Tigrayan leadership, though driven from power in Mekelle, the region’s capital, has rallied under the banner of the Tigray Defence Forces, an armed resistance group. It is led by the removed Tigrayan leaders and commanded by former high-ranking Ethiopian National Defence Force officers.

Within the TDF, analysts believe that the relative influence of the TPLF has been weakened, at the benefit of the other, often relatively new, components.[4][5]
