In the EU-US round-table [webcast.ec.europa.eu/us-aid << Live Now ] @NRC_Egeland from the Norwegian Refugee Council has now twice said that the humanitarian aid effort in Tigray needs assistance from the Ethiopian Govt. to be effective.
A column from Jan Egeland, Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council, and Jean-Michel Grand, Executive Director of Action Against Hunger UK on the Tigray Crisis news.trust.org/item/202105040…
Aid delivery requires cooperation with, not alienation of the Ethiopian Govt. Today's roundtable was effective in raising the profile of the conflict, and unfolding humanitarian disaster underway in Tigray. But absent an Ethiopian speaker was not good for encouraging cooperation.
As a demonstration of EU-US rapprochement however it is helpful, and hopefully it will result in more investment in joint/aligned solutions and approaches to addressing the humanitarian crisis.
