Thousands continue to be killed in Ethiopia’s Tigray Crisis

Tigray war persists

The civil war which began in Tigray, Ethiopia since last year continues relentlessly as thousands have been killed despite international efforts.

According to UN estimates, the fighting has displaced nearly 2 million people. The death toll remains unknown, as the area has been cut off from communication with the outside world. About 4.5 million people need immediate assistance, especially food, as fighting destroyed crops and interrupted last fall’s harvest. There are also alarming cases of violence against women and girls. Increasing reports of mass killings, rape, and widespread hunger have prompted international alarm and pressing calls for the withdrawal of Eritrean troops, who have been implicated in some of the worst attacks on civilians documented so far, including brutal gang rapes

Six months from the start of the conflict in Tigray, there is no lack of credible evidence of human rights and international humanitarian law violations, but the response from the African Union and United Nations has been woefully insufficient. The UN Security Council stalled for months before finally expressing concern about the increasingly dire situation in Tigray. The African Union and governments in the region, meanwhile, have done very little to speak out against the raft of likely war crimes and crimes against humanity. ” said Deprose Muchena, Amnesty International’s Regional Director for East and Southern Africa.
