The "EU Joint Statement by the High Representatives" on the crisis in Tigray Region of Ethiopia is appalling, for the fundamental issues that it glosses over. Issued on the eve of the
fact finding mission that it's sendring to the region,
the timing is also curious & rather odd.

The EU Statement laments the "exacerbation of ethnic violence", while conveniently forgetting the toxic policy of institutionalized ethnicity & polarization that the now defunct TPLF clique pursued for decades in the country & the perennial violence & mayhem that this had entailed.

Furthermore, the TPLF clique continued to occupy - even after the historic 2018 Asmara Peace Agreement - sovereign Eritrean territories in flagrant breach of international law & the Algiers Peace Agreement that the EU & other powers had brokered & guaranteed.

In all these instances, the EU shrugged its moral obligations & continued to funnel billions of budgetary/other fungible assistance to this clique; which increasingly emboldened it to indulge in yet reckless acts. Time for the EU to review its policies, instead of accusing Eritrea!
