Understanding The Fragile Ceasefire & Humanitarian Crisis in Tigray

የትግራይ ተወላጆቹን አቡነ ማትያስን + ዶ/ር ቴድሮስ አድሃኖምን + ዶ/ር ሊያ ታደሰን እና አቶ ተወልደን ቁልፍ የሆኑ የስልጣን ወንበሮችን ይዘው ይቆዩ ዘንድ ትዕዛዝ የተሰጠው የሉሲፈራውያኑ ወኪል እባቡ ግራኝ አሁን በትግራይ የፈጠረውን ረሃብ በትግራይ መከላከያ ኃይል እና በአማራ ሚሊሻዎች ላይ ለማላከክ አቅዷል። “የኤርትራ እና የኢትዮጵያ ሰራዊቶች ከትግራይ እንዲወጡ አድርጌአለሁ + ተኩስ ለማቆምም ወስኛለሁ፤ ከደሙ ንጹሕ ነኝ።” በሚለው ዲያብሎሳዊ የማታለያ ምላሱ።

👉‘ጨዋታው‘ እንዲህ ነው፤

💭 የአሜሪካ መንግስት አሁን ያወጣው መግለጫ እንዲህ ይለናል፦

„We call on all parties to commit to an immediate, indefinite, negotiated ceasefire,„

“Our paramount priority is addressing the dire humanitarian situation.„

„We urge all parties to adhere strictly to international humanitarian law and commit to unhindered humanitarian access and independent mechanisms for accountability for human rights violations and abuses.”

💭 Ethiopia (Oromia) Used Hunger as a Weapon of War

There is fragile ceasefire in Northern Ethiopia’s Tigray after Ethiopian and allied forces withdrew after an occupation late in 2020. It’s a dramatic turn in conflict that has killed thousands, uprooted millions and featured atrocities the global community attributes to the government of a Nobel Prize winning prime minister. On Tuesday, Tigrayan rebels were claiming victory. Nick Schifrin reports.

💭 Ceasefire in Ethiopia’s Tigray Region

PRESS STATEMENT

NED PRICE, DEPARTMENT SPOKESPERSON

The Government of Ethiopia’s announcement yesterday of a unilateral ceasefire in the Tigray region could be a positive step if it results in changes on the ground to end the conflict, stop the atrocities, and allow unhindered humanitarian assistance. We are closely monitoring developments. We call on all parties to commit to an immediate, indefinite, negotiated ceasefire, so as to end the violence, restore stability to Tigray, and create a context for an inclusive dialogue that preserves the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Ethiopian state.

We urge all parties to adhere strictly to international humanitarian law and commit to unhindered humanitarian access and independent mechanisms for accountability for human rights violations and abuses. We continue to call for the immediate, verifiable withdrawal of all Eritrean forces from Ethiopian territory, a necessary step for an effective, sustainable ceasefire and in accordance with the Ethiopian government’s March commitment to do so.

Our paramount priority is addressing the dire humanitarian situation. The United States stands ready to work with the Ethiopian government, Tigrayan authorities, the United Nations, and other international partners to expedite the delivery of life-saving food assistance, including to the estimated 900,000 people likely already experiencing famine conditions. In this regard, we urge the Ethiopian authorities to immediately restore telecommunication services in Tigray and permit unhindered freedom of movement for and ensure the safety and security of humanitarian organization personnel.
