🇪🇹 Thousands in Addis Ababa Protest Alleged Forced Recruitment in Tigray Thousands rallied in Ethiopia’s capital on Saturday against an alleged campaign of forced conscription by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), in a pro-government protest organized by a coalition of Tigrayan opposition parties. Tigray is a mountainous region in northern Ethiopia, bordering Eritrea and home to some 6 million people. From 2020 to 2022, it was the center of one of this century’s deadliest wars. The TPLF had dominated Ethiopia’s national government for nearly three decades before falling out with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, whose rise to power in 2018 ended the party’s dominance. Fighting erupted in November 2020, drawing in Ethiopian federal forces and troops from neighboring Eritrea, the TPLF’s longtime enemy. Estimates of the dead range from roughly 160,000 to as high as 600,000, with many dying from direct fighting, and also from starvation and the collapse of healthcare during the war and federal blockade. A November 2022 peace agreement ended the fighting but left major underlying disputes unresolved. Now the region is sliding back toward confrontation. The TPLF reasserted control over Tigray’s political administration on May 5, displacing the federal-backed interim administration established under the peace deal, and issued a June proclamation mandating military service. Human Rights Watch reported on July 6 that Tigrayan authorities and forces have been abducting and forcibly recruiting civilians, including boys as young as 15, through nighttime raids on homes and recruitment drives at offices and gold-mining sites. Protesters in Addis Ababa carried banners reading, “The Ethiopian government must fulfil its duty to protect the people of Tigray.” The federal government has separately accused the TPLF of sending fighters to Sudan, without providing evidence, with protestors holding signs reading “Stop trafficking combatants to Sudan!” 🎥 Melat Kiros, the Ethiopian-born, Tigrayan-American Democratic nominee for Denver’s overwhelmingly Democratic congressional district, recently spoke with Drop Site about her upbringing, her family’s experience during the devastating war in Tigray, and the catastrophic humanitarian crisis it left behind. That interview is linked in reply. Below, in a recent conversation in Denver on the Voice of Tegaru channel, Kiros discusses civic engagement and the importance of connecting the Tigrayan cause with struggles across the Global South and with issues facing communities in the United States.
