#Editorial: In #Tigray, starvation has replaced shells as a weapon of #war. This ruin must end!
The deaths now reported from Tigray’s internally displaced persons (IDP) camps are neither sudden nor unforeseeable. They are the cumulative result of political failure, economic collapse, and the deliberate neglect, by both federal and regional authorities, of repeated early warnings, long after the guns fell silent.
Hundreds have died since July 2024 alone, collapsing after days without food, medicine, or care. Elderly people, women, and children are bearing the brunt.
This is starvation in plain sight.
But this starvation ravaging Tigray’s IDP camps is not simply a shortage of food. It is the consequence of a systemic, deeper collapse: livelihoods destroyed by war, markets left to wither, and community support systems, once the first responders in times of crisis, systematically dismantled. What remains is a population trapped between political paralysis and institutional abandonment.

Elderly people, women, and children are among those most affected, with residents reporting incidents of people collapsing after going days without adequate food.

Five years ago today, #Tigray was plunged into one of the darkest chapters of our time.
Today, we remember the countless lives lost, the survivors still healing, & the millions who remain displaced—refugees in #Sudan and families enduring dire conditions across Tigray.
"At least 22 people have already died & over 27,000 livestock lost in Kolla Tembien, Central Tigray, as drought deepens the humanitarian crisis in a war-ravaged region.”
NGOs help fill gaps, but only full-scale govt & international intervention can stop more needless suffering.
Ethiopia Army Chief Threatens New Offensive In Tigray
Field Marshal Birhanu Jula accused #Tigray of failing to hand over heavy weapons and tanks. While urging Ethiopians to prepare for war, he issued a venomous ultimatum—warning Tigray not to dare instigate war a fourth time. 1/

No words can fully capture the pain #Tigray women have endured, how can any human being be so cruel? I'm at loss for words. The international community must act now against these atrocities.

Horrific Sexual Violence Used Against #Tigray’s Women
For two years, Tseneat carried her rape inside her — not as a memory or metaphor, but a set of physical objects: eight rusted screws, a pair of nail clippers, a handwritten note wrapped in plastic. 1/

The #WomenOfTigray were not collateral damage. They were hunted.
Rape was used deliberately, coordinated to destroy a people.
Almost 3 years since the so-called peace agreement, the world’s silence has become the new weapon against Tigrayan survivors.

Ximena Borrazás: Documenting Genocidal Rape In Tigray
@XimenaBorrazas’s latest work captures harrowing testimony from #Tigray|an survivors of mass rape by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers—inc gang rape and the insertion of objects into their uteruses. Yet justice remains elusive.
#Tigray: On the final day of the mass protest demanding the returning of IDPs and the full implementation of the COHA, protesters released 1,689 yellow balloons into the sky at Romanat Square each marking a day spent in camps since they were forcefully displaced from their home.
The people of Tigray, throughout Tigray, are engaging in peaceful demonstrations to urge the international community to ensure the full implementation of the Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement. They emphasize the importance of restoring the constitutional sovereignty of Tigray as it was on November 4, 2020. Furthermore, they advocate for the immediate return and reintegration of millions of internally displaced people (IDPs) into their communities and economic activities. #ይኣክል! (#Ya'akel!) #EnoughIsEnough!

Despite promises of peace, the atrocities haven’t stopped.
Ethnic cleansing continues and Ethiopia’s “transitional justice” plan is built to evade accountability, not deliver it.
Impunity is fueling more crimes. And Tigrayan IDP’s are facing the brunt of it. #TigrayGenocide
#Tigray: Day two of the protest organized by Tsilal civic society of Western Tigray demanding the withdrawal of foreign forces from Tigray, returning of IDPs and refugees and the full implementation of the Pretoria agreement.
The protesters aren’t leaving.
They’re camped out - day and night - at the protest sites across #Tigray.
They’ve lost their homes once. They won’t leave these grounds until the world hears them.
They are demanding action.
