RIP branch:

What router associated with IP 169.254.1.153?
What IP have HQ router?
address of the head office of the tunnel

You are most likely hitting the split horizon limitation of RIP. I don’t believe that MikroTik has the capability to disable split horizon like you can in Cisco.
The options you can consider are:
- Move to OSPF - it is a far better and faster routing protocol than RIP
- Enable a full mesh of tunnels between sites
- Add static routes to make up for the routes being stopped by split horizon.
I would strongly recommend option 1 to make routing easier.
