CONDEMNATION OF TRAGIC EVENTS AND DEMAND FOR ACTION

August 27, 2023

Subject: Condemnation of Tragic Events and Demand for Action

We at the Tigray Disaster Relief Fund (TDRF), an organization dedicated to providing aid and support to the people of Tigray during times of adversity, are deeply saddened by the recent tragic events that have unfolded. Specifically, the brutal killing of Zewdu Haftu, the targeted grenade attack on a nightclub and the violent acts claiming the lives of ordinary civilians all over Tigray are deeply distressing incidents that demand immediate attention. 

We call for an immediate and thorough investigation into these acts and  demand that those responsible for these atrocities, regardless of their affiliations, be identified, apprehended, and held accountable through a transparent legal process. It is essential to uphold the rights of victims and their families and to send a clear message that violence will not be tolerated within society. We also call for a tangible action to the protection of living witnesses of crimes. The restoration of law and order is crucial to the safety and well-being of Tigray's residents. 

We urgently call upon the Interim Regional Government of Tigray to act on the matters of security and civilians’ safety at the post-war context of Tigray. We also ask all our strategic partners to collaborate and play their crucial role. It is essential that all concerned join hands to take immediate steps to reinstate law and order, strengthen security measures, support the restoration and rehabilitation process and reassure the community that their lives and safety are of paramount concern.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims of the tragic events and all recent acts of violence in Tigray.
