There is a civil war being fought in Tigray, an ancient kingdom in northern Ethiopia, on the Horn of Africa. Tigray, Eritrea and Ethiopia's 2-year-long civil war has killed more people than the war in Ukraine, yet nobody's talking about it.

According to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, more than 40,000 refugees have crossed into Sudan from Ethiopia’s Tigray region since fighting started in early 2020. Shown are refugees in Hamdayet and Um Rakuba, Sudan filmed November 26 — 27, 2020.No working ambulances for a population of more than 5.5 million. No banking services. Hundreds of thousands killed by fighting and famine.

This conflict, a civil war, is being fought in Tigray, an ancient kingdom in northern Ethiopia, on the Horn of Africa. Tigray's population has been facing a famine because of the conflict. Because of the blockade and for security reasons, food supplies have not been able to reach millions. Since the signing of the peace accord, the U.N.'s World Food Program has said its trucks are now starting to deliver aid to Tigray. But it's not clear at what pace or whether acute shortages of essential supplies are reaching those most in need.

Etsedingl is not able to communicate with staff at any of the hospitals without actually going to visit them. Before the war broke out, Tigray had about 270 ambulances. Now there are just eight. With no available fuel, none are on the road. Etsedingl said many patients are taken to hospitals by horse-drawn carts. Once there, if they do get a diagnosis, there are no medicines to treat them. Maternal mortality rates have have shot up 800%, he said.

Tronvoll says the above are estimates and could fluctuate by 50,000 in either direction. He says they represent the total number of fighting forces rotated in and out of the conflict.YASUYOSHI CHIBA, AFP via Getty ImagesThe Tigray region’s population comprises 4.9% of Ethiopia’s 117 million people. Ethiopia is the oldest state in sub-Saharan Africa and the only state in Africa that has never been colonized. It has more than 2,000 years of history.

White lives matter

Just a fabricated proportion. Didn't consider Tigray combatants with civilian clothes. Disinformation!!

Tigray’s a region in🇪🇹& all 3 wars in last 2 yrs started by TPLF & most military engagements outside Tigray which means z majority of z dead are combatants, local civilians & 🇪🇹ian defense forces! Where did you get 383-600,000 civilians killed: De Waal/Tronvol? Get_Real_Lost!

Your 'source' is a geographer who bases his estimate on phone calls and extrapolating unconfirmed numbers from biased media..

Ancient kingdom called Tigray?

based on what data was this calculated?

Tigray wants peace! EritreaOutOfTigray

USA Today quoting a biased reported for Tigray is crazy to me

The presentation is problematic and tendentious. Hundreds of thousands of people have died in this horrible unnecessary conflict - on all sides. While Tigray has taken the brunt of it, ignoring the many Non-Tigrayan victims is not helping the processing of the conflict.

This is a civil war in Ethiopia, not Eritrea. However did experience terrorist attacks by the junta TPLF according to Global Database for Terrorism.

If there is no foreign interference, the conflict could be ceased to exist earlier and the casualties would have been minimized. While we are working hard to find a peaceful solutions, you still trying to spoil it. Where is the morality?

Salem_Solomon It was z tplf who started z war by massacring thousands of Ethio. soldiers & fired missiles to Asmara, Gonder & Bahr Dar. Z tplf committed genocide over z Amhara people in Mai Kadra. Z tplf pursued z war hoping to win by use of human waves & child recruits. Stop z tplf madness!

These are in fact numbers that are thrown around with ZERO EVIDENCE.

The war started when TPLF slaughtered 1000’s of soldiers in dead of night & expanded their terror to neighboring regions. It lasted 2 yrs because NGO’s & IC fed, funded & armed them and MSM amplified their false propaganda 🤷🏽‍♀️

The Tigray people are killing their own and also rape their people in order to international attention and anyone from the normal civilian can prove that. Please stop tumble Suffs to the Eritreans.

NeverAgain is happening again in Tigray that the world doesn’t not take about it Ethiopia is guilty of Tigray Genocide WhereIsHumanity

The same genocide is going on silently in Nigeria, perhaps they are waiting for it to turn to full blown war,then they will come as the fire fighters, this is unacceptable 😳

The so called world powers are not talking about it because they don't have a stake in that part of the world.

1. Eritrea and Ethiopia are sovereign countries. Tigray is a region within Ethiopia. A terrorist group from Tigray opened three offensives 2 overthrow Ethio govt & also attacked Eritrea. 2. There has never been an ancient kingdom called Tigray! FactsMatter

Calling the modern region of Tigray an “ancient kingdom” is anachronistic. There was no such thing as “Tigray” in ancient history. USA Today is lying to Americans and promoting war in Africa.

There is no genocide committed aganist Tigray! Back up your claim or you’re just like CNN!

Where is the data to backup this number?

This has nothing to do with ERITREA.

whatever the cause ,Ethiopian govt authorities and TPLF leaders are the responsible for the war crime in Ethiopia

In general Your Estimation may not be realistic ,b/c professional journalist was not there at all. most of the western medias are reporting biased news for the world to influence Ethiopian govt political position.

Ancient kingdom-Tigray!

Tigray region of Ethiopia has been a stronghold of an ethno-fascist former CIA backed brutal dictatorship turned terrorist organization called Tplf. It ignited war in northern Ethiopia which is the reason of all misfortunes.

Don't be misled, Tigray is not a country. There is no or have not been a kingdom called 'Tigray'. Only an ancient Biblical/Qur'anic kingdom called Ethiopia where Sabbatic,Damot,Punt,Zagwe,Axumite,Solomonic Dynasties reigned in it, compromised of All Ethiopians.

It’s not just a war, it’s a genocide: 100s/1000s killed Hunger used as a weapon of war 800k Tigrayans ethnically cleansed from W. Tigray 2 million displaced Tens of thousands girls raped 80% of the health facilities, schools, cultural sites, churches and factories destroyed

We don't believe these two evil regimes have support from the IC to commit genocide but the IC has definitely ignored it to the point that Ethiopian and Eritrean regimes continue to ethic cleanse the people of tigray.

hayet_alem Ethiopia & Eritrea are doing everything in their power to keep this Genocide hidden. With the little access UN_HRC received, they found Ethiopia|n fed gov has committed CrimesAgainstHumanity & yet no concrete action from the IC to save Tigray.

Multi-faceted fake news being released by the hybrid regime change operatives using Western media. Rebels armed by West closed all schools & sent children to the warfront. US Senators are compromised to give political clout to rebels. Ethiopians fought & repelled USA aggression.

BurbridgeDuke These numbers are nowhere close to accurate or complete.

It’s a genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the people of Tigray.

Eritrean forces killed 63 civilians, including 10 children, in Egela Woreda’s rural village of Adi Jeganu in Tigray. So, what is the meaning of CoHA? Why don't you SanctionEritrea EritreaOutOfTigray AmharaOutOfTigray WhiteHouse _AfricanUnion AUC_MoussaFaki JoeBiden
