#GPE has been closely monitoring the unfolding situation in #Ethiopia.

The question of accountability for crimes committed is being posed not just by #Ethiopia/ns but also the world and with time, the truth will be revealed.
#GPE also believes sexual violence against women(1/E)

must be unequivocally opposed by all #Ethiopia/ns.
Local authorities and administration at all levels must take measures to immediately stop all forms of violence against women in #Tigray. Any suffering inflicted upon women and children is no indication of victory but rather(2/E)

of a country’s fall.
Protection of civilians must be a top priority as long as there is believed to be an active threat to their safety.
#Ethiopia has become a place where female students are kidnapped from their schools and murdered. Even now, under the cover of war, (3/E)

all crimes against innocents to fulfill a political agenda will only sully the country’s reputation further.
Sleeping children have been killed, pregnant women have been massacred.
With the people dead, there will be no one to see freedom; it is necessary to reflect on (4/E)

who the upcoming election is meant to serve in the first place.
Are we unable to see an #Ethiopia where murder, rape and displacement are not heard of?
For the government, the opposition and the #Ethiopia/n people at large, it is necessary to draw a line. Otherwise, in the(5/E)

absence of high moral standards, those in power may change but the crimes will continue.

There is no sadder truth than this. In a time when great struggle has supposedly brought change, it would be a return to the undesired misery we once dreaded.(6/E)

We must all reflect on this matter.

#GPE Demands Accountability.
