IDPs in Abiyi Adi, Central Tigray rally to call for repatriation
On Thursday, IDPs in Abiyi Adi, Central Tigray, rallied to demand repatriation, humanitarian aid, and the full implementation of the Pretoria agreement.
Demonstrators, including women and children, gathered in the town, approximately 90 kilometers from the capital, Mekelle. Their calls included the withdrawal of “invading forces” and the respect of constitutional borders.
Thousands of IDPs expressed their urgent need for humanitarian access, emphasizing the peril they face due to hunger in Tigray and the suspension of aid from humanitarian organizations.
The demonstrators called attention to their desperate situation with placards, one of which read, “We are perishing without war.”
This follows a similar rally in the capital, Mekelle, on Wednesday, where IDPs also called for repatriation, the implementation of the peace deal, and the withdrawal of non-ENDF forces from Tigray.
