Don't derail UN investigation of Tigray genocide in name of peace
The wars in Ukraine and Tigray were similar. Both shocked by their brutality. Both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed twisted history to delegitimize an adversary. Putin, for example, argued that Ukrainian identity was an artificial concept and traced Russian identity and the Orthodox faith to Kyivan Rus in modern-day Ukraine. While Tigray’s fight was over identity rather than independence, Abiy approached his adversaries the same way due to the historical origins of Ethiopia and Ethiopian Orthodoxy in Axum in modern-day Tigray.
