UN must intervene in Tigray Posted : 2021-02-15 16:30 By Mehari Taddele Maru FLORENCE ― In a recent interview, Rwandan President Paul Kagame argued that U.S. President Joe Biden's new administration and the United Nations Security Council should take the lead in addressing the violence and deprivation in Ethiopia's Tigray region. Kagame described the situation there as worrying, and said the death toll was too high for the conflict to be left only to Ethiopia or the African Union to manage. As the president of a country that is still dealing with the consequences of the 1994 genocide against its Tutsi population, Kagame speaks with considerable authority here, and deserves to be heard.
