CM @RepGregoryMeeks: I agree with the EU: such a grant to Ethiopia now is premature given ongoing, man-made humanitarian crises in Tigray.
We must work with like-minded partners to signal that half-measures are not enough.

European Commission: $300M World Bank grant to Ethiopia ‘premature’
The World Bank’s board has approved a $300 million grant for Ethiopia to support the immediate needs of people as they face the devastation caused by conflict in the country.
A spokesperson for the European Commission told Devex, however, that the move is “premature” and potentially “counterproductive” to the nascent peace process. Analysts following Ethiopia also expressed concern that the grant would reward the government before it opens up full humanitarian access to the conflict-hit region of Tigray.
The Ethiopian government is accused of mass killings and gender-based violence, or GBV, among a range of allegations made by human rights lawyers since fighting began in the northern Tigray region in late 2020.
The World Bank said the funds would come from the International Development Association fund for the world’s lowest-income countries and highlighted that some of the money was being set aside to “provide GBV survivors with improved access to the services and comprehensive care needed to recover from the impacts of the violence they experienced.”

Why? How are you going to feed the Tigray people and the neighbours their ragtag destroyed? When there is no food and money you are screaming, when it is avialble and distributed you are again screaming. When are you guys going to stop complaining and screaming? You guys realy want to spend the aid money for lobbists such as this one in the West inseatd of putting into the mouths of the food seeking Tigre's mouth. You guys want resources for people in the West writing and posting trash on their twitters etc. This is just one trash.
