The Armed Forces of Ethiopia and Eritrea are constantly raping women living in the territory of the rebellious region. This is reported by TV channel France 24 with reference to the report of the human rights organization Amnesty International.
The human rights report in the region covered by the Region was prepared by interview with 63 women who collided with various forms of violence. The soldiers of government troops raped them within a few weeks, as well as Morious hunger. As a result of torture, unrepaired injuries are applied to the genital organs.
“It is quite obvious that sexual violence was used as an element of terror in order to inflict physical and psychological damage to women and girls in the Pictory,” said AMNESTY INTERANIONAL CALLAMARD Secretary General (Agnes Callamard).
The authorities of Ethiopia are engaged in investigating these incidents. In February 2021, Filsan Abdullah (Filsan Abdullahi), Filsan Abdullahi, stated that cases of rape “undoubtedly” had a special government commission for the investigation. It is known that three servicemen were convicted by the military tribunal, 25 more are under investigation.
According to human rights defenders, from February to April 2021, over 1,200 women who were victims of violence from the government army were applied to the medical facilities of Tuping.
The conflict between the Tyga and the Central Government of Ethiopia broke out in November 2020. The cause of the war, which claimed more than 10 thousand people, served as contradiction between the federal center and the authorities of the province regarding the delimitation of power and recognition of local elections.
