Genocide in Tigray: the shameful public indifference

Bullets and shelling are the lesser evil for civilians. Hunger, thirst, lack of medicine, fuel, communication, confiscation of any currency deposited in the bank and total shutdown of the banking system. No salary for 17 months, ignorance (destroyed schools and 2-year blockade in teaching), rape of girls, women, old women, tigrine nuns. Little boys are emasculated crops burned, pets slaughtered. Theft looting, carpet bombing destroying villages and towns. Inability to get seeds and essential goods such as powdered milk for infants

Nobel Peace Prize winner Abiy Ahmed was certain he would win the war in a few days. He had budgeted three weeks, but instead it went wrong for him. Blitzkrieg, as Hitler called it in German, is “a military tactic based on rapid manoeuvres aimed at breaking through enemy lines, encircling and isolating, and then annihilating their units, striking at the opponents’ vital points in a short time,” as the military manuals explain.

Abiy’s Blitzkrieg turned into genocide, aimed at destroying the adversary on an ethnic basis. A genocide that is denied by the Ethiopian government and its allies. And is passed under culpable silence by the West.

NGOs under accusation
The Nobel Prize winner accuses human rights agencies of telling lies and of describing the war with non-existent and fraudulent arguments. He argues that their reports are untrue and have the sole purpose of wanting to damage Ethiopia’s image. Abiy, like his Eritrean partner and ally, the tyrant Isaias Afeworki, has driven numerous NGOs out of the country. It’s better to kill without witnesses. Doctors Without Borders (3 of their staff were murdered in Abiady), UNICEF, Save The Children, WFP and some UN agencies are amongst those who have been suspended for reporting what they saw.

In reality, what they reported is only the tip of the iceberg of what is happening in Tigray. Bullets and shelling are the lesser evil for civilians. The population is facing hunger, thirst, lack of medicine, fuel, communications, confiscation of any currency deposited in banks and total shutdown of the banking system, no money to pay salaries for the past 17 months, ignorance (schools destroyed and 2 years of blockade of teaching), rape of girls, women, elderly women, and Tigrayan nuns.

Boys are emasculated, crops burnt, pets slaughtered. Theft, looting, carpet bombing destroying villages and towns. Impossibility to get seeds and essential goods such as powdered milk for babies.

Under siege
Tigray is under siege and taken by starvation. These are the weapons used by the genocide. A spectacle already seen in Europe, Armenia, Kurdistan, Rwanda, to name but a few of the abominable massacres provoked by vicious racist ideologies.
