The internally displaced people (IDPs) from Western Tigray, affected by the genocidal war, are facing a catastrophic situation in Hitsats and other IDP centers in Tigray. They are suffering from starvation and related challenges, and urgently require life-saving food, medicines, and emergency relief aid from the international community. They also call for the immediate implementation of the Pretoria Cessation of Hostility Agreement, enabling them to return to their homes and farming lands.
Five years ago, one of this century’s deadliest wars erupted in northern Ethiopia. The U.S. helped stop the fighting, but the Pretoria agreement remains only partly fulfilled. Tigray is still unstable, there is no justice for victims, and tensions with Eritrea continue. A secure, peaceful Horn of Africa protects U.S. interests, prevents extremist threats, stabilizes partners, and helps millions who are suffering.
