#Ethiopia: #UK warns of food crisis triggered by war and drought

In #Ayder hospital in #Mekelle, the capital of Ethiopia's #Tigray region, the corridors are filled with the hubbub of any busy medical facility. But in the paediatric wing, there is a stillness to the wards.

For here lie children numbly bearing witness to the latest food crisis to ravage northern Ethiopia. Mostly babies, they are suffering from severe acute malnutrition.

Their mothers sit silently at their beds, staring into the middle distance, clutching their infants to their breast, hoping what milk they have can deliver the salvation for which they yearn.

For they and Ethiopia are suffering once again from a devastating legacy of conflict and drought, twin evils that in recent years have destroyed farms and crops and forced millions from their homes.

Doctors at the hospital say the numbers of severely malnourished children being admitted have doubled since 2020 when the war between Tigrayan forces and Ethiopian and Eritrean armies began.

"There is clearly a risk of famine if we don't now take action," Mr Mitchell told the BBC. https://t.co/6OjNuaBZl4

Only a small fraction of millions of needy people in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region are receiving food aid, according to an aid memo seen by The Associated Press.

IDPs in Abiyi Adi, Central #Tigray rally to call for repatriation
——
On Thursday, IDPs in Abiyi Adi, Central Tigray, rallied to demand repatriation, humanitarian aid, and the full implementation of the Pretoria agreement.

Demonstrators, including women and children, gathered in the town, approximately 90 kilometers from the capital, Mekelle. Their calls included the withdrawal of "invading forces" and the respect of constitutional borders.

Thousands of IDPs expressed their urgent need for humanitarian access, emphasizing the peril they face due to hunger in Tigray and the suspension of aid from humanitarian organizations.

The demonstrators called attention to their desperate situation with placards, one of which read, "We are perishing without war."

This follows a similar rally in the capital, Mekelle, on Wednesday, where IDPs also called for repatriation, the implementation of the peace deal, and the withdrawal of non-ENDF forces from Tigray.

#Ethiopia: IDPs in #Tigray rally for swift withdrawal of occupying forces, safe return home

Internally displaced persons (#IDPs) from Tigray congregated in the capital city of #Mekelle this morning to stage a peaceful protest, reiterating their demand for the prompt withdrawal of occupying forces from their sovereign land and the secure repatriation to their homes. This marks the second demonstration by IDPs in Tigray this week, as they continue to voice their grievances and seek urgent resolution to their plight.

Earlier this week, IDPs situated in key urban centers of Tigray, including #Shire, #Adigrat, and #Aksum, urgently appealed for decisive actions to expedite their return to their hometowns, currently under the control of #Eritrean forces and #Amhara militias.

Today’s protesters, who expressed their concerns over the injustices faced by the displaced population in West Tigray, decried the prevailing hunger despite the region's fertile land. They passionately called for immediate humanitarian intervention, emphasizing the urgency of relief efforts to swiftly reach the affected communities.

In response to the demands of the protestors, Tigray Interim Administration President Getachew Reda assured that the regional government is committed to facilitating the return of displaced people to their homes. Addressing the demonstrators, he stated, “The suffering of the displaced is our suffering. Therefore, we will make it our priority to navigate out of the unnecessary conflict and ensure the safe return of the displaced people to their homes.” AS

In northern #Ethiopia, a new #famine could rival the worst of the past

In the #Tigrayan village of #Yechila, so many people are dying of hunger that the local officials have lost count. Farmers have abandoned their fields because they are filled with deadly landmines, and starvation is spreading.

The village’s roads and houses are still heavily damaged from missile strikes in the recent war. The local hospital has become a shelter for the homeless.

“We are all waiting for our turn to starve to death,” said Tsehay Assefa, an elderly villager who recently buried her son, a farmer who died of hunger, and one of her grandchildren.

Across the Tigray region, in northern Ethiopia, thousands of people have perished from lack of food in the 14 months since the end of the disastrous two-year war in which Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers fought against Tigrayan forces. Now drought is compounding the devastation. A famine is looming that could rival the worst famines of the past, relief workers say.

***
“This latest famine is much bigger than the 1984 famine,” said Gebrehiwot Gebregzabher, head of the Tigray Disaster Risk Management Commission.

“This famine is invisible, it’s impacting more people, and the response has been minimal, unfortunately,” he told The Globe in an interview.

12 LUGLIO 2023

Ricapitolando: al Senato tornano i vitalizi e quasi nessuno si scandalizza; su grande richiesta dei sindaci di destra, sinistra e centro sta poi per essere abolito l’abuso d’ufficio così la prossima volta che un dirigente pubblico trasferisce un suo collaboratore per poterlo sostituire con la propria amante (è successo davvero) gli verrà consegnata una medaglia al posto di una condanna penale; buone notizie anche per corrotti, ladri, truffatori, bancarottieri e per chiunque sia accusato di un reato non violento. La riforma proposta da Carlo Nordio pensa pure a loro: in caso di richiesta di arresto, se si teme che l’indagato continui a delinquere, lo si dovrà avvisare con almeno cinque giorni d’anticipo in modo che lui possa farsi interrogare o, se preferisce, scappare. Ma non basta. Ottime novità ci sono pure per parlamentari ed esponenti di governo. A conferma di come Woody Allen avesse ragione quando affermava “non è vero che i politici non abbiano un’etica, perché ce l’hanno pure loro ed è una tacca sotto a quella dei maniaci sessuali”, è stata finalmente affrontata e risolta la questione dei conflitti di interessi e delle menzogne pronunciate in Parlamento davanti ai colleghi e al popolo italiano. Se sei imputato di un qualsiasi reato potrai entrare a far parte (tra gli applausi) della Commissione Giustizia. L’avere un dibattimento in corso non spingerà nessuno a pensare che tu possa sponsorizzare emendamenti o leggi in grado di favorirti, ma farà invece presupporre che tu sia una persona particolarmente esperta in processi, inchieste e affini. Il politico giusto al posto giusto. Quello della volpe a guardia del pollaio. Ma non dovrai preoccuparti pure se rischi di essere qualificato come un bugiardo o una bugiarda patologica, perché davanti ai tuoi colleghi senatori e in diretta tv hai sparato balle a raffica sui tuoi emolumenti, i tuoi incarichi professionali e il rapporto con i tuoi dipendenti lasciati a casa senza stipendio. In casi come questi avrai l’obbligo di non dimetterti dagli eventuali incarichi ministeriali in modo che tutti possano apprezzare la differenza tra la nostra nazione patria di poeti, navigatori e santi e Paesi di quart’ordine tipo Germania, Francia e Inghilterra dove non solo i bugiardi, ma persino chi ha copiato qualche riga di una tesi si è trovato costretto ad abbandonare sia il ministero che la vita politica.

Va detto però che nei prossimi mesi la nuova Italia intende far ancor meglio. Nordio in persona ha annunciato di aver intenzione di rivedere anche il concorso esterno in associazione mafiosa, un reato definito “evanescente” che oggi purtroppo costringe in carcere l’ex sottosegretario al ministero dell’Interno Antonio D’Alì, particolarmente legato alla famiglia di Matteo Messina Denaro, e quello alle Finanze, Nicola Cosentino, detto Nick o ’mericano dagli amici del clan dei casalesi. I due assieme a molti altri sono in trepida attesa. Le modifiche cui pensa il Guardasigilli garantiranno la loro scarcerazione anticipata? Nessuno può dirlo. Ma un indizio lascia bene sperare. In molti nella maggioranza vogliono dedicare la riforma al povero Silvio Berlusconi, scomparso di recente con un’unica condanna definitiva sulle spalle, ma in nove altri casi salvato dalla prescrizione (anche grazie a una sua legge che ne aveva abbreviato i termini) e in un caso perché il reato di cui era accusato era stato da lui stesso depenalizzato. Spesso in politica si è parlato di valore dell’esempio. Bene, oggi dalle parole finalmente qualcuno passerà ai fatti. Buona estate, cittadini!
