Mekelle፡ 3 July 2024 (Tigray Herald)
President Getachew Reda expressed his view on the continued war of Sudan.
“It’s very unfortunate that the civil war and carnage in Sudan have continued unabated. The suffering of civilians is quite unimaginable. The situation has been further deteriorating very recently. As a home to tens of thousands of refugees from Tigray and also of other parts of Ethiopia, we are particularly concerned that the war theatre is coming dangerously close to refugee camps in eastern Sudan- to #Tenedba and #Umrakuba, among others. While the humanitarian situation in those camps has always been dire, the growing proximity of the actual fighting to those areas has made it even more unsettling. It is therefore imperative that regional players with influence on the warring parties as well as the international community at large exert pressure on both sides to immediately halt fighting and protect civilians as best they can. It’s also incumbent upon the government of the FDRE to do whatever it takes to end the suffering of Ethiopian refugees.”
