Tsadikan is power hungry old man and he is roaming 360 degree to find any narrow access to the top authority spot in Tigray.He is also serving big powers in the Horn Africa.
Getachew is a cheap talker with no other goal but eating & drinking. Anyone who could offer that can use him as a barking dog & a parrot.

Mekelle – A new report by the “Commission of Inquiry on Tigray Genocide (CITG)” has documented what it describes as “war-induced genocidal sexual and gender-based violence” committed against hundreds of thousands of women and girls across Tigray during the two-year Tigray war.

The report, released on Thursday, paints a harrowing picture of the systematic use of rape, sexual slavery, and other forms of gender-based violence as weapons of war.

According to the report, out of 481,201 women and girls surveyed, 286,250 suffered at least one form of gender-based violence, while 166,621 (58.2%) reported experiencing sexual violence. It further reveals that 152,108 (53.14%) survivors were raped — 70 percent of them gang-raped by between two and fifty perpetrators. The findings indicate extreme brutality. Some 21,117 women (7.4%) were held in prolonged sexual slavery.

Commissioner Yemane told Addis Standard that the findings were based on a door-to-door survey conducted using the ODK application and guided by the IASC GBV principles. “As the war-induced sexual violence was widespread throughout Tigray, universal screening was employed,” he said.

Yemane noted that Thursday’s publication presents only the main findings. “We have thousands of testimonies and stories that were not included in the current report, so there will be additional work and reports focused specifically on SGBV-related issues,” he confirmed.
