#Commentary: Stalled Recovery, Rising Fragility: #Tigray between self-reliance and societal collapse https://t.co/M6RWSibAjq As military forces reportedly gather near #Ethiopia’s Tigray region, fears of renewed conflict are intensifying. In this commentary, Duke Burbridge notes, “It’s anyone’s guess whether Tigray will be a target or a staging ground to attack #Eritrea,” warning that either scenario would be catastrophic for civilians who have only just survived one of the century’s most brutal wars. Reflecting on his recent visit across Tigray—from #Mekelle to some of the hardest-hit rural areas—the author underscores a consistent and troubling reality: “Suffering and despair are endemic.” He highlights that most residents lack at least one necessity—food, water, medicine, or shelter. Yet the humanitarian response has been sustained largely by Tigrayans themselves, many of whom continue to work without pay to support their communities. The article further underscores that, despite the 2022 ceasefire, reconstruction has scarcely begun. Displaced families remain in camps where, as one director remarked, life is now “harder than it was during the war.” With aid diminishing, commitments unfulfilled, and new arrivals fleeing insecurity, recovery remains fragile and uncertain. The author concludes that “survival has limits,” underscoring that Tigray must not only avoid another war but also be allowed to recover from the last. If the federal government continues to prioritize conflict over reconstruction, Burbridge cautions, it will “eventually lose the war against its people.”
