The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) (Tigrinya: ህዝባዊ ወያነ ሓርነት ትግራይ (ህወሓት), romanized: ḥəzbawi wäyanä ḥarənnät təgray, lit. 'Popular Struggle for the Freedom of Tigray') is a left-wing ethnic nationalist paramilitary group, now leading political party, and former ruling party of Ethiopia, established on 18 February 1975 in Dedebit, northwestern Tigray, according to official records. Within 16 years, it had grown from about a dozen men into the most powerful armed liberation movement in Ethiopia. It led a coalition of movements named the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) from 1989 to 2018. It fought a 15-year-long war against Derg regime which was overthrown in 1991. Due largely to its war fighting capabilities, the TPLF was at the forefront in the defeat of the Derg. It is widely known as Woyane, Weyane, Wayana (Tigrinya: ወያነ) or Wayane (Amharic: ወያኔ) in older texts and Amharic publications. With the help of its former ally, the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF), EPRDF overthrew the dictatorship of the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (PDRE) and established a new government on 28 May 1991 that ruled Ethiopia until its refusal to merge into the Prosperity Party in 2018. On 18 January 2021, the National Election Board of Ethiopia terminated the party's registration, citing acts of violence and rebellion committed by the party's leadership against the Federal government in 2020, as well as a lack of representation.On 6 May, House of Peoples' Representatives in Ethiopia formally approved a parliamentary resolution designating the TPLF as a terrorist organization.
