Immediate Negotiated Ceasefire With the Tigray Government

Immediate Negotiated Ceasefire With the Tigray Government

It is becoming increasingly undeniable that only concerted and sustained international pressure can put an end to the genocidal campaign that is being waged by Ethiopia and Eritrea against the people of Tigray. Expressions of grave concern are no longer adequate and need to be followed up by tangible actions to mitigate the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Tigray. To this end, the international community needs to facilitate:

  • An immediate cessation of hostilities based on the terms put forward by the government of Tigray. Despite declaring a purported ‘unilateral ceasefire’, the Ethiopian government continues to block aid, transportation, telecommunication, and crucial services to Tigray effectively placing the region under total siege. Therefore, the international community needs to mediate a politically negotiated ceasefire
  • Verified withdrawal of the invading Eritrean forces
  • Verified withdrawal of the Ethiopian and Amhara troops – who are implicated in the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against the people of Tigray
  • Safe and unhindered access across all of Tigray to humanitarian organizations providing lifesaving assistance
