Tigray Action Network Colorado to March in Boulder to Encourage Representative Joe Neguse to Stand Against Brutality in Tigray Region of Ethiopia | Press Release : vimarsana.com
BOULDER, Co. — Denver-based Tigray Action Network Colorado will march in Boulder on Thursday, April 22, 2021 at 11:30 to Representative Joe Neguse’s Walnut St. office to raise awareness about the ongoing conflict and genocide in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. According to the New York Times, “fighting has ravaged northern Ethiopia since early November when the government opened a military offensive against the ruling faction in the region of Tigray, starting a conflict that has caused thousands of deaths and widespread destruction, displaced over 2 million people, and sent tens of thousands of refugees into neighboring Sudan.” While disputed by the governments involved, Eritrean involvement in the conflict has been confirmed by international groups such as Amnesty International. The brutality in this region, committed by both Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers, is significant, including raping infants and elderly women.
