Statement by Asfaha Hadera, Founder of African Services Committee
The dire circumstances that led to the 1996 genocide in Rwanda are rapidly emerging in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region. Since early November 2020, the Ethiopian government, led by the Prime Minister (PM) and aided by Eritrea government troops, Somalia, and the United Arab Emirates, have waged a military campaign against the people of Tigray region. This is my ethnic group, and it is making it difficult for me to be proud to be an Ethiopian. What is happening to my people is totally unacceptable. Ethiopia's PM, Abeyi Ahmed, in contrast to the platform given him by the Nobel Peace Prize awarded him in 2019, is in no position to claim moral authority on any world stage to preach about law and order, democracy and democratization and good governance. He has lost all credibility on that front.
