Can America Prevent Genocide in Ethiopia?

The United States should place an arms embargo on Eritrea and develop punitive measures should it not exit the conflict.

For nearly two years, a war has raged in Ethiopia as the elected government has fought to suppress a rebellion by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). The conflict began in early November 2020 when the Ethiopian government marched into Tigray, reportedly in response to a TPLF attack on government forces. Civil war erupted soon after. The war has had an unspeakable toll on Ethiopia. Recent reports indicate that violence is escalating, and the director general of the World Health Organization has warned there is a “very narrow window now to prevent a genocide.” While unilateral intervention by the United States is not in the American interest, the Responsibility to Protect requires collective action by the UN Security Council and General Assembly to prevent genocide.

In March 2022, a report from Ghent University estimated that around 500,000 people died in the first sixteen months of the conflict, with 100,000 of the deaths being direct killings. There have been 283 mass killing events of five or more civilians, 200,000 starvation deaths, and 100,000 deaths due to inadequate access to healthcare. An additional 2.5 million people have been forcefully displaced.

Samantha Power, the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), warned that 1 million people are on the brink of famine. In January, the UN World Food Programme estimated that 40 percent of Tigrayans are suffering from an extreme lack of food and 9 million people across the three conflict-affected regions—Tigray, Amhara, and Afar—need humanitarian food assistance.

If somebody wishes to be seen as credible and claims about an estimation, then that body should also be reminded that it should state clearly what the estimation method was.

Is it just a wild estimation? Based on something of general estimation methodology accepted by some credible organs?

Someone can claim: yeah I have estimated but don't tell you on what method my estimation was based, and still dare to call itself a university or trade in the name of a university.

Bunch of idiots, it starts at the very top.

Here is a useless piece of writing by a low level non-expert. The uselessness of this piece is already proven by the fact that the South African gathering had ended with zero solution to the problem. This uninformed student of international affairs makes Eritrea the center of problem. Nothing is farther from the truth. The permanent cancer in the body of this political animal is TPLF and TPLF alone. It is the total removal of this evil entity which is the very beginning of the Tigray solution. No amount foreign lobbying and hired propaganda can alter this hard fact; that is, there will never be peace for the Tigray people as long as TPLF is alive.

[Abere]

Genocide?! TPLF's own drama of UUUUUU ጆባይደንዬ UUUUU ጆባይደንዋ roll ከብለለለ There is no genocide in Tigray. There is only TPLF atrocity. This nonsense piece is not helpful to Tigray.

[Sam Ebalalehu]

Horus your last sentence is 100 percent correct. I keep saying that for awhile now.

Majority of the cursed land territories are under the Ethiopian govt control.
So while all the ungrateful funfunat agames under the liberated areas are being taken care and getting fed by Ethiopia, how the fu’ck can you agames claim or cry that the Ethiopian govt is committing genocide.
By over feeding your filthy tegarus?
Stop the game you been playing…….genocide crap for god sake.
Ethiopian govt is proving the world that it is walking on egg shells to free the ungrateful agames from the few terrorists woyane officials who been brainwashing the dumb a’ss agames as if Ethiopia or Eritrea is after the supposedly innocent but ungrateful agame people.
Eritrea and Ethiopia are going to continue until woyane aka tplf is completely destroyed and tigray align with the democratically elected PP Ethiopian party and get a PP agame aka tegarus leadership start leading tigray.
Then after if the funfunat agames don’t like the PP it is their right to choose another party in the next Ethiopian leadership.
As of now, just like anywhere else in the world there shouldn’t be two governments in one country.
TDF should be disarmed willingly before it does by force taking more agame lives with it.
