Peace and Justice for Tigreans International

PublicHealthMessage#3: Open Call to Avert Another Genocidal War in Ethiopia I am urgently appealing to U.S. and international leaders to take immediate action to prevent the escalation towards large‑scale conflict in Ethiopia, one that risks evolving into another genocidal war in Tigray and destabilizing the entire Horn of Africa. It’s already began 3 days ago and a drone attack has already been reported in my home state not far from my hometown.  In 2022, under U.S. leadership and with African Union facilitation, the Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (COHA) was signed. Since then, the Ethiopian government has repeatedly violated the agreement, including banning the very party that signed it and agreed with. Months ago, I warned of an imminent return to war:  ethiopiainsight.substack.com/p/abiys-war-sc… This was followed with additional petitions, emails, and public appeals from thousands of Ethiopians and allies. Despite those appeals the hostilities have now resumed. Reports indicate renewed military operations in western Tigray, as well as drone strikes in Enticho killing civilians and destroying what’s becoming rare due to blockade food commodities.  At the same time, Ethiopia is reportedly purchasing fighter jets from Russia and mobilizing irregular militias, further escalating risk to millions. This was in display at the recent anniversary celebration of the regime’s Air Force flanked by AFRICOM commander and Dupty US Secretary of.  As a public health expert, Peace Laureate of APHA, and someone who lost family, colleagues, research infrastructure, and trainees during the 2020–2022 Tigray genocide, I cannot stay silent. Why this matters now Recent images and diplomatic engagements involving U.S. officials with Ethiopian military leaders, some of whom oversee air forces implicated in past mass civilian casualties, have caused deep concern among affected communities. Conflicting messages about U.S. military cooperation have only added confusion. This moment calls for clarity and principled leadership. A critical question must be asked. Is the United States prepared to take swift and decisive diplomatic action to uphold the Pretoria Agreement and prevent a catastrophic return to full scale war? Millions of civilians, across Tigray, Amhara, Oromia, and beyond, remain at extreme risk. Over 20 million are in famine like conditions and 3-5 million of those in Tigray are under life threatening conditions. Only robust enforcement of COHA can prevent further atrocities. I urgently call on the U.S. government and international community to: 1. Demand an immediate cessation of hostilities; 2. Support independent monitoring and verification; 3. Publicly reaffirm and enforce full implementation of the Pretoria/COHA Agreement, including protection of civilians and demilitarization.  The cost of inaction will be enormous, humanitarian, geopolitical, and financial. Our peer‑reviewed research documents the devastating human toll of drone and jet attacks during the previous conflict: link.springer.com/article/10.118… Failure to act risks another genocide, regional destabilization, and mass displacement. Now is the time to act. I respectfully urge U.S. officials, policy leaders to take possible action to save millions and concerned citizens to review recent developments, contact congressional representatives, and press for immediate, principled engagement. The media that largely ignored the last conflict, often described as the hidden deadliest war, must now show its humanity and recognize the worth of African lives. Remember, this region is home to Lucy, the earliest known hominid fossil, underscoring its significance as one of the cradles of human origin!

A renewed civil conflict in Northern Ethiopia would be sheer idiocy! The losers would be every Ethiopian-immaterial of ethnicity or ideology- as well as national prosperity and stability. The only winners would be Ethiopia's external and internal enemies. abcnews.go.com/Business/wireS…

🚨 The drone attacks have reportedly started - see the pictures coming from the Enticho area of Tigray central zone. Unless this is stopped before it gets out of control, the humanitarian crisis and the loss of lives is going to be scarily devastating! I’m heartbroken and disappointed that Abiy’s regime didn’t heed the advise,reportedly given, by the US Dupty Sec of State @DeputySecState and @USAfricaCommand People who were visiting Tigray are now stranded in Tigray due to @flyethiopian cancelling flights to all airports in Tigray. The sad news is that the airline is selling tickets that wouldn’t honor to its customers- not surprising since same airline is used to transport Ethiopian military personnel and equipment. Banks are also cash dry which created economic anxiety in the region. @_AfricanUnion @AsstSecStateAF @UN @antonioguterres CC @Trevornoah @miaamormottley
