The Canadian government will help finance an investigation in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia after widely reported massacres by soldiers in war between Ethiopia and Eritrea

Ethiopian women carry away sacks of wheat after a food distribution by the Relief Society of Tigray in the town of Agula, in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia.The Canadian government is helping finance a formal investigation of widely reported atrocities in Ethiopia’s war in Tigray, but it says it hasn’t decided yet whether to join the United States in imposing sanctions on Ethiopia and Eritrea for their conduct in the war.

“It is essential that this investigation be transparent and impartial, and that those responsible for confirmed abuses are held to account,” said Patricia Skinner, a spokesperson for Global Affairs. The U.S. State Department announced on May 23 that it was imposing visa restrictions on Ethiopian and Eritrean officials, along with “wide-ranging restrictions on economic and security assistance to Ethiopia,” because of the killings and other atrocities in Tigray. The sanctions were also aimed at ethnic Amhara militias and members of the former Tigrayan ruling party that led the rebellion in the region.

An analysis by UN agencies and other aid groups concluded that about 350,000 people in northern Ethiopia had slipped into famine conditions because of the prolonged Tigray war, and about 90 per cent of Tigray’s six million people are in need of emergency aid. Canada is “extremely concerned” by the Tigray conflict, which has brought millions of people to the brink of famine, Ms. Skinner said. The federal government is calling for “rapid and unimpeded humanitarian access” in Tigray, she said.

It’s sad that Mr. Trudeau has taken a who-cares approach in the face of the TigrayGenocide ignoring the suffering and possible death of millions.

Is this after you mine and steal the resources of Tigray? Ethiopia has given up all rights to Tigray through this Genocidal war. Whatever business deals you’re making is not with the people or region of Tigray! TigrayGenocide TigrayCantWait StopWarOnTigray

Canada stop any diplomatic relationship with illegal,rapest,killer,makes hunger of kids and elders government in ethiopia 🇪🇹together with dictator esayas aforki of Eritrea 🇪🇷

Canada must stop and cancel any kind of deal and relationship with illegal and genocider government of ethiopia and cuts any funds instead to stop raping,killing and hunger in ethiopia which is caused by government of 🇪🇹 ,Eritrean and Amhara militia

The first thing Canada should do is cancelling the deal signed between Ethiopian regime & Canada mining Gold from war torn Tigray region of Ethiopia. While Tigray is being starved man created starvation by the killer regime of Ethiopia Tigray resources shouldn't be exploited

“Canada will provide about $600,000 to help fund a joint investigation into the reported human-rights abuses in Tigray, the Global Affairs department says.” JustinTrudeau shouldn’t be endorsing EthioHRC as it’s highly affiliated with the Ethiopian govt! MarcGarneau stejobin

We need independent investigation, how can a killer investigates its own rimes

Brinnium Is CanadaUN financing a joint investigation or financing Ethiopia

Make sure billene seyoum loses her citizenship and can’t run to Canada when all is said and done.

DilNaodA Canada should also cancel the deal it signed with the genocidal regime of Ethiopia to exploit mining resources from the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Instead Canada should pressure the government of Ethiopia to end the rape, starvation & massacre in Tigray!

zeaxumawit Canada is financing who? Any relationship with the mining license? Canada has been awful quite until now.

But will Canada step in to help end this genocidal war? The war crimes are ongoing TigrayCantWait MarcGarneau HedyFry GarnettGenuis karinagould MichaelChongMP YaaraSaks
