The Tigray conflict in Ethiopia has been a prominent stain on the global conscience, having drawn widespread international condemnation over rampant human rights violations. The conflict has brought with it a harrowing dark side, with reports emerging of extrajudicial killings, sexual violence, and widespread acts of torture against civilians. There have been instances of targeted attacks on ethnic groups, including the massacre of hundreds of people. Displacement and the blocking of humanitarian aid have compounded the suffering, resulting in a grave human rights crisis that demands urgent attention and intervention. The international community must uphold its obligation to protect human rights and prioritize humanitarian access while perpetrators should be held accountable to prevent a cycle of impunity.
