The two-year war in northern Ethiopia resulted in approximately 100,200 deaths before an African Union-brokered ceasefire was reached in November 2021, a new report reveals. In comparison, the Ukraine-Russia war that began in February led to 81,500 deaths, the same source added.

There were so many deliberate civillian casualties this went far beyond a war with insurgents.

Send peacekeeping troops?

You say that like you don't think it would have been a reasonable option?

As this crisis unfolded, there were many reasons a UN peacekeeping force would have been a good option, particularly as the racial rhetoric ramped up and the detention camps were set up.

We now have a famine situation due to all the targeting of civilian infrastructure and crops.
