Ethiopia Insight published on 3 December 2021 a commentary titled "The UN is Failing Its Tigrayan Peacekeeping Troops" by Saba Mah'derom, a Tigrayan activist student in the United States.
Ethiopia has a long and proud history of contributing peacekeeping troops to UN operations, currently in Sudan and Somalia. Following the outbreak of conflict between Tigrayan Defense Forces and Ethiopian National Defense Forces, the author argues that Tigrayan soldiers assigned to UN peacekeeping operations have been singled out by the government of Ethiopia for deactivation or worse.
Comment: While this is written from a Tigrayan perspective, together with so many other incidents in Ethiopia attributed to both sides since the outbreak of conflict in November 2020, the allegations merit an investigation by the UN.
