Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Ethiopia’s Tigray crisis: A rare view inside the conflict zone
The Tigray Region, or Tigrinya, is the northernmost region of Ethiopia where over seven million Tigrayan, Irob, and Kunama peoples live. In November last year, the Tigray Regional Government led by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Ethiopian federal government with soldiers from Eritrea, Ethiopia’s northern neighbor, entered into conflict. It was caused by the newly elected prime minister and the region’s former rulers, which dominated the nation’s politics until the new administration took place in 2018. As a result of the armed conflict, more than half of the region’s population became in need of aid, and a million or more people were forced to abandon their homes and moved to camps where aids and daily necessities are both scarce. Even though aid agencies are allowed to enter the region to give help now, there are too many refugees who need more help.
Why are the former and current rulers fighting each other in their own country killing and hurting their own people’s lives? What people want the most is peace, food, and land for farmers and jobs for workers.
Read the article and learn about what war or conflict for power humiliates people.
