Abstract

The war in Tigray, Ethiopia, which took place from November 2020 to 2023, resulted in numerous war crimes and continues to have a lasting impact on the region. Despite its severity, the conflict received little attention from the international community. The war was fueled by long-standing tensions between ethnic groups and border conflicts with Eritrea. All parties involved in the conflict committed atrocities, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and sexual violence. Although the war officially ended in November 2022, reports of ongoing human rights abuses and suffering persist. The lack of media coverage and international response to the conflict in Tigray has left those affected feeling forgotten and raises concerns about the potential for further atrocities. The article highlights the limited attention given to the war in Tigray compared to other conflicts, as well as the lack of accountability for the crimes committed. It also emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and remembering the atrocities in Tigray to prevent similar situations in the future. [Extracted from the article]
