🔼 They raped our women.
They starved our children.
They displaced millions.
And the world looked away.
This is not “conflict.”
This is GENOCIDE.
@UN must name it.

📣 A sustainable peace in Ethiopia cannot be engineered through silence or selective amnesia. Durable reconciliation demands truth commissions, criminal accountability, reparations, and institutional reform.

No Healing Without Justice: Why Sustainable Peace in Tigray Demands Recognition of Genocidal Rape and Intergenerational Repair

By Nayna Feleg

“Peace without justice is tyranny in slow motion.” —adapted from Desmond Tutu

In November 2022, the guns fell silent in Tigray. A peace agreement was signed. The world moved on.

But for thousands of survivors-women and girls who were raped, mutilated enslaved, and silenced-peace has yet to arrive. Their trauma is not only unhealed, it is unacknowledged. And unless the international community confronts this enduring injustice, what we call “peace” will be nothing more than a fragile truce built on the burial of truth.

Rape as Genocide: Naming the Crime

During the Tigray war, sexual violence was not incidental. It was systematic and strategic. Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers raped Tigrayan women in front of family members, mutilated their genitals, inserted foreign objects, and declared that they were “cleansing the womb” of the Tigrayan bloodline. These are not just war crimes-they are acts of genocidal intent, as defined by international law.

The 1948 Genocide Convention recognizes acts that cause “serious bodily or mental harm” to members of a group, when committed with intent to destroy that group. What happened in Tigray, like in Rwanda and Bosnia before it-meets that threshold.

And yet, survivors remain abandoned. No prosecutions. No reparations. No public acknowledgment. In Ethiopia and Eritrea, denial reigns. Internationally, silence persists.

Trauma Doesn’t End When Wars Do

The violence in Tigray has seeded a deeper, longer war, one waged within bodies, within families, and across generations.

Intergenerational trauma is not a metaphor. It is a lived reality, especially for survivors of genocidal sexual violence. Children born of rape are stigmatized or rejected. Mothers are silenced by shame, and communities fracture around them. The next generation inherits not just the legacy of genocide, but the emotional scars of unspoken suffering.

In the absence of truth, the trauma festers. It shapes memory, identity, and the very possibility of reconciliation. If unaddressed, it can lead to radicalization, cycles of vengeance, or societal collapse masked as peace.

No Justice, No Peace

Sustainable peace is not the mere absence of war. It is the presence of justice, dignity, and healing. Yet #Ethiopia and #Eritrea, two sovereign states remain shielded from accountability.

Neither country is a party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), making prosecutions through The Hague all but impossible without a UN Security Council referral, an unlikely scenario given geopolitical vetoes.

Universal jurisdiction in European or North American courts may offer pathways to prosecute individual perpetrators, but without coordinated international pressure, these remain rare exceptions rather than a system of justice.

And while survivors can file civil suits or share their testimonies through independent bodies, none of this replaces the need for official acknowledgment, legal accountability, and public reparations. Without them, impunity prevails, and future atrocities become inevitable.

Fuel supply to Tigray has plunged by over 85% in just one month, from 5.2 million liters in May to 2.09 million in June, far below the region’s 15-million-liter monthly quota.

📍No newsroom assigned her to Tigray.
Too dangerous. Too far. Too ignored.
But Ximena and Edgar Gutiérrez went anyway.
With their cameras and courage, they made the world look.
And it changed everything.

300+ IDPs died in Shire camp in 90 days.
No justice. No reparations. No outrage.
Is this the world’s “peace dividend” for Tigray?

I'm with you, TPLF is very crucial for Tigray at this time. I never knew much about them to say I like/hate, but from what I see going on in Tigray, I prefer TPLF because they stand with the people and care for Tigray's teritorrial integrity. The rest have become slaves of Abiy‼️
