The article discusses the extreme sexual violence inflicted upon Tigrayan women, exemplified by the case of Tseneat, who had foreign objects surgically removed from her womb after a gang rape. Medical reports indicate a systematic pattern of torture aimed at implanting foreign items into women's reproductive organs as part of a larger campaign to obliterate Tigrayan fertility. Notes from perpetrators express intent to destroy an ethnic group, highlighting that such acts constitute genocide under international law. The article emphasizes the grave human rights violations occurring in Eritrea, driven by historical conflicts.
The objects, revealed by X-ray and surgically extracted by doctors more than two years later, were forced inside Tseneat as she lay unconscious after being gang-raped by six soldiers.
Under international law, it is genocide to destroy fertility or prevent births with the intention of wholly or partly destroying an ethnic group.
Several mention bitter border disputes with Tigray in the 1990s, and promise vengeance.
