Governments have a duty to ensure their people's human rights. Since Nov. 2020, the Ethiopian govt has not only failed to protect Tigrayans' rights but has grossly violated them in the #TigrayGenocide. Tigrayans' right to life continues to be infringed. #HumanRightsDay.

On this #GenocidePreventionDay, we remind the Int’l Community of the #TigrayGenocide, the atrocity crimes that continue in Tigray & the need for action to stop current crimes, recognize the genocide against Tigrayans & seek justice. #GenocidePrevention #HumanRights ✍🏽 omnatigray.org/petition-to-...
