EYEWITNESS
Ethiopia's Tigray conflict: A human tide of refugees - with little to keep them alive


UN officials say between 50,000-60,000 arrivals have turned up at one refuge in the past few weeks alone.

John Sparks - Africa correspondent

he Tsehaye Elementary School in Shire, Ethiopia, offers some sort of sanctuary, a place of refuge for people on the run.

But there is not much here to keep them alive.

A human tide of 300,000 Tigrayans are now camping in this beleaguered city at six schools, a local college and any number of half constructed buildings which dot the city.

A senior UN official told Sky News that 50,000-60,000 arrivals have turned up in the past few weeks alone.

Tigrayan settlers are going back to where they came from. For the past 30 or more years, Tigrayans annexed fertile Amhara lands, evicted the rightful owners, and settled themselves in other peoples lands. They have committed heinous crimes of depopulation and demographic genocide. Thus, when the Amhara militia defeated the TPLF, the settlers knowing that the game was up, immediately fled to the Sudan and back to Tigray. That is the behaviour of a thief. Moreover, they are never coming back.

The UN should be more concerned about the half a million Tegaru refugees in Yemen who had fled before the Law and Order operation took place in Tigray. Recently, an estimated 600 of the Tegaru refugees died inside a Yemeni prison, but no one at the UN is talking about them, because it doesn't serve their political agendas. For the UN, agame lives don't matter. What matters is the use of the agame as political tools to advance a neo-colonial agenda in East Africa.

eden/sarcasm, I'm sorry to say this, but you agame life doesn't matter to the UN. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
