Ethiopia: Amnesty International Calls for Humanitarian Access to Tigray

 African Arguments posted on 4 February 2021 a commentary titled "Ethiopian Government Must Allow Full Humanitarian Access to Tigray" by Vanessa Tsehaye, Amnesty International's campaigner for the Horn of Africa.

Humanitarian access to Tigray Region remains extremely limited.  Most requests by aid workers to enter Tigray have been denied.  The Internet and telephone access have not been restored.  The author urges that humanitarian personnel be given immediate and full access to Tigray Region.
