SCANDAL! Tigray: Thousands of women suffer from brutal violence and hunger!
Ethiopia – a country in chaos! The dramatic events of recent years have destroyed human lives and destroyed values. The hopes for peace and social security that flourished in Ethiopia's northern scene until 2020 have gone up in flames. The British expert Alex de Waal denounces the war: The unbelievable starvation of the population is methodical and cruel, with the aim of destroying the basis of life! Just imagine: food, agriculture, water, healthcare - everything has been thrown into chaos. Thousands of women have unfortunately not only been physically abused or raped, but live with the terrible stigma and trauma of these atrocities every day. Bietigheim newspaper reports on a catastrophic humanitarian situation that the world all too often ignores!
The horror in Tigray never ends. Reports of mass rape and extreme violence against women are just the tip of the iceberg. It is shocking that the suffering of these people goes largely unnoticed while other crises, such as those in Sudan and Congo, dominate the headlines. Bob Geldof, an icon of commitment, appeals to humanity: "A child is hungry. Give him food." Over 21 million people in Ethiopia will suffer catastrophic conditions and need humanitarian assistance in 2024 while world governments look the other way! Amnesty International reports that the cruel dictatorship is cracking down on civil society and human rights defenders.
The political nightmare
Where is Ethiopia heading? Since the Pretoria Agreement, which was intended to end the fighting in Tigray, there has been no peace in sight. Ethnic conflicts are once again threatening the future of the country. Fighting between the Amharic Fano militias and government security forces is escalating as the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) continues its armed struggle! The Federal Agency for Civic Education documents the disunity of the political structures - an explosion of violence that no one can stop!
The development is alarming: In Addis Ababa, the capital with 3.5 million residents, families are affected by forced relocations. Their livelihoods are brutally swept away as soon as new residential areas for bureaucracy are created. Dawit, a humble fruit shop owner, speaks with pain about the destruction of his life: “Water and electricity are cut off, and my business is ruined!”
A call to action!
Why does the international community remain indifferent while injustice in this country reaches monstrous levels? Despite the ongoing violence, the call for justice is getting louder. Human rights activists are calling for more pressure and support from Western countries to change the catastrophic situation. Ethiopia is broken and isolated and in desperate need of help. The time for watching must be over! The fate of millions is at risk, and each of us can make a difference!
