Ethiopia: Tigray's forgotten internally displaced people DW 01/20/2025
Briefly

"All displaced people are in despair. We are worried about what will happen next. The authorities who should be returning us to our villages have abandoned our agenda and are busy struggling for power." Birhane Tafere highlighted the deep concerns of the displaced about their future, underscoring a disconnect between their plight and the priorities of those in power.
"According to Tigray's interim regional administration, nearly 1 million displaced people have not been able to return to their homes. The administration cites significant social and economic hardship caused by this displacement, as militants continue to control western Tigray and Eritrean forces control border areas, hindering safe returns." This statistic paints a grim picture of the ongoing challenges faced by those affected by the war.
"Four people have died alone in the last two weeks, just because of the lack of adequate shelter and basic needs in the temporary camp. The severe conditions are life-threatening, and many are left to suffer in silence." Negasi Marek's account emphasizes the urgent need for help in the IDP camps.
