#Ethiopia: #Tigray Interim Administration acknowledge IDPs grievances as three-day protest continues in #Mekelle
The Tigray Interim Administration (#TIRA) has addressed grievances raised by Internally Displaced Persons (#IDPs) during ongoing peaceful protests in Mekelle, which began on January 13 under the theme “Yak’el” (“Enough is Enough”). In a statement, the interim administration acknowledged that “The failure to implement key provisions of the Pretoria Peace Agreement has deepened political instability in the region,” and described the protests as a “constructive effort to bring attention to the urgent situation facing the people of Tigray.”
The protests, organized by Tsilal Western Tigray Civil Society, are still ongoing at Romanat Square in Mekelle. Demonstrators have chanted demands such as “Return us to our homes” and “Living in tents is enough.” Many IDPs continue to endure harsh conditions, with a recent report revealing nearly 300 deaths at the Hintsad center in Shire over the past three months due to hunger, inadequate medical care, and insufficient aid.

I know lying has been a national sport in the country for some time now & individuals like you are at the forefront of it, but I will leave this here for those who care about the truth.
Our advocacy has been victim-centered from the start & we won't be shamed or bullied into abandoning our survivor community to please genocide apologists+deniers.
