Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019. Less than a year later he unleashed hell on Earth to break a rebellion.
Soldiers in that war killed as many as 800,000 civilians and systematically raped more than 100,000 women. The scale of the brutality – the criminality – is unimaginable.
Ahmed and his military commanders should be facing sanctions and criminal charges. But these atrocities aren’t even being investigated.
One brave reporter is pushing this issue to the top of the international agenda. She’s published a viral news story that shattered the silence, and helped create a moment where the world might finally listen to the women of Tigray and their calls for justice.
Let’s amplify their call by demanding the UN reopen investigations, the EU and UK sanction the responsible officials, and the African Union does everything it can to fully implement and cement the peace agreement.
