Biden administration considering Tigray genocide determination (The National)

Post by sarcasm » 24 Sep 2021, 19:05


US State Department has launched legal review examining whether Tigray humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia amounts to genocide


A senior US official told The National on Friday that the State Department is conducting a legal review into whether Ethiopian and Eritrean actions in Tigray amount to genocide.

“I don’t want to get ahead of any process, but obviously the reports about the violence against women, the murders and the mass events that we’ve seen do give pause and could potentially lead to some sort of official determination regarding the acts that we know have been committed,” the senior administration official told The National.

“But that is a legal process that we have to let play out.”

The House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would require Secretary of State Antony Blinken to determine whether the humanitarian crisis in Tigray amounts to genocide, but the senior administration official indicated that the State Department has already initiated the review.

“It’s a process that is not taken lightly and it’s a process that’s under consideration by the State Department,” said the senior official.

“We will just let the secretary determine whether or not, based on reports and things that we’ve seen and information that we have, whether or not that designation will be made.”

The US legal code defines genocide as “the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in substantial part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group".

Probably the most ill-defined word in Ethiopia’s political context now is the word genocide. It is thrown right and left by knucklehead cadres. The Biden administration is not considering that. There is no an iota of reason to do that. This news probably sneaked out to feed the egos of those who salivate anticipating the Abiy’s administration fall.
There is nothing to the story.
