    Situation Report EEPA HORN No. 59 - 18 January 2021 Europe External Programme with Africa is a Belgium-based Centre of Expertise with in-depth knowledge, publications, and networks, ​ specialised in issues of peace building, refugee protection and resilience in the Horn of Africa. EEPA has published extensively on issues related to movement and/or human trafficking of refugees in the Horn of Africa and on the Central Mediterranean Route. It cooperates with a wide network of Universities, research organisations, civil society and experts from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda and across Africa. Reported war situation (as confirmed per 17 January) - According to Sudan Tribune, the head of the Sudanese Sovereign Council, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, disclosed that Sudanese troops were deployed on the border as per an agreement with the Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, arranged prior to the beginning of the war. - Al-Burhan told a gathering about the arrangements that were made in the planning of the military actions: “I visited Ethiopia shortly before the events, and we agreed with the Prime Minister of Ethiopia that the Sudanese armed forces would close the Sudanese borders to prevent border infiltration to and from Sudan by an armed party.” - Al-Burhan stated: "Actually, this is what the (Sudanese) armed forces have done to secure the international borders and have stopped there." His statement suggests that Abiy Ahmed spoke with him about the military plans before launching the military operation in Tigray. - Ethiopia has called the operation a “domestic law and order” action to respond to domestic provocations, but the planning with neighbours in the region on the actions paint a different picture.

  • Starving Tigray
    Starving Tigray How Armed Conflict and Mass Atrocities Have Destroyed an Ethiopian Region’s Economy and Food System and Are Threatening Famine Foreword by Helen Clark April 6, 2021 ABOUT The World Peace Foundation, an operating foundation affiliated solely with the Fletcher School at Tufts University, aims to provide intellectual leadership on issues of peace, justice and security. We believe that innovative research and teaching are critical to the challenges of making peace around the world, and should go hand-in- hand with advocacy and practical engagement with the toughest issues. To respond to organized violence today, we not only need new instruments and tools—we need a new vision of peace. Our challenge is to reinvent peace. This report has benefited from the research, analysis and review of a number of individuals, most of whom preferred to remain anonymous. For that reason, we are attributing authorship solely to the World Peace Foundation. World Peace Foundation at the Fletcher School Tufts University 169 Holland Street, Suite 209 Somerville, MA 02144 ph: (617) 627-2255 worldpeacefoundation.org © 2021 by the World Peace Foundation.

Cover photo: A Tigrayan child at the refugee registration center near Kassala, Sudan Starving Tigray | I FOREWORD The calamitous humanitarian dimensions of the conflict in Tigray are becoming painfully clear. The international community must respond quickly and effectively now to save many hundreds of thou- sands of lives. The human tragedy which has unfolded in Tigray is a man-made disaster. Reports of mass atrocities there are heart breaking, as are those of starvation crimes.

  • ETHIOPIA - TIGRAY REGION HUMANITARIAN UPDATE Situation in Tigray (1 July 2021) Last Updated: 2 Jul 2021
    ETHIOPIA - TIGRAY REGION HUMANITARIAN UPDATE Situation in Tigray (1 July 2021) Last updated: 2 Jul 2021 FLASH UPDATE (2 Jul 2021) Situation in Tigray (1 July 2021) The political dynamics have changed dramatically in Ethiopia's Tigray Region following the unilateral ceasefire declaration by the Ethiopian Government on 28 June 2021. Reportedly, the Tigray Defense Forces (TDF) have taken control over most parts of Tigray following the withdrawal of the Ethiopian and Eritrean defense forces from the capital, Mekelle, and other parts of the region, while Western Tigray remains under the control of the Amhara Region. The consequences of the unfolding situation on humanitarian operations in Tigray remain fluid. The breakdown of essential services such as the blackout of electricity, telecommunications, and internet throughout Tigray region will only exacerbate the already dire humanitarian situation. Reported shortages of cash and fuel in the region can compromise the duty of care of aid workers on the ground. Despite the dynamic and uncertain situation, partners report that the security situation in Tigray has been generally calm over the past few days, with limited humanitarian activities being implemented around Mekelle and Shire. Key developments On 28 June, the Federal Government agreed to the request from the Interim Regional Administration in Tigray for a "unilateral ceasefire, until the farming season ends." Subsequently, Ethiopia National Defense Forces (ENDF) withdrew from Mekelle and other main towns in the region, including Shire, Axum, Adwa, and Adigrat. Currently, former Tigray Defense Forces (TDF) are in control of the main cities and roads in Tigray. There were no reports of fighting in Mekelle and other towns.

Results: The overall prevalence of S. aureus and methicillin resistance S. aureus (MRSA) in the present study were 12% (29/242) and 5.8% (14/242) respectively. The rate of MRSA among S. aureus was 48.3%(14/29). In this study, MRSA car- riage was particularly higher among nurse professionals (7.8%) and surgical ward (17.1%). None of the MRSA isolates were sensitive to penicillin and ampicillin. However, low resistance was found for chloramphenicol and clindamycin. Being diabetic and use of hands rub was statistically signifcant with MRSA colonization.

  • SITUATION ANALYSIS of CHILDREN and WOMEN: Tigray Region
    SITUATION ANALYSIS OF CHILDREN AND WOMEN: Tigray Region SITUATION ANALYSIS OF CHILDREN AND WOMEN: Tigray Region This briefing note covers several issues related to child well-being in Tigray Regional State. It builds on existing research and the inputs of UNICEF Ethiopia sections and partners.1 It follows the structure of the Template Outline for Regional Situation Analyses. 1Most of the data included in this briefing note comes from the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS), Household Consumption and Expenditure Survey (HCES), Education Statistics Annual Abstract (ESAA) and Welfare Monitoring Survey (WMS) so that a valid comparison can be made with the other regions of Ethiopia. SITUATION ANALYSIS OF CHILDREN AND WOMEN: TIGRAY REGION 4 1 THE DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT The northern and mountainous region of Tigray has an estimated population of 5.4 million people, of which approximately 13 per cent are under 5 years old and 43 per cent is under 18 years of age. This makes Tigray the fifth most populous region of Ethiopia. Tigray has a relatively high percentage of female-headed households, at 34 per cent in 2018 versus a national rate of 25 per cent in 2016. Three out of four Tigrayans live in rural areas, and most depend on agriculture (mainly subsistence crop farming).4 Urbanization is an emerging priority, as many new towns are created, and existing towns expand. Urbanization in Tigray is referred to as ‘aggressive’, with an annual rate of 4.6 per cent in the Tigray Socio-Economic Baseline Survey Report (2018).5 The annual urban growth

  • Evidence of Targeted Ethnic Discrimination and Violence
    Evidence of Targeted Ethnic Discrimination Against Tigrayans E X P L A I N E D | @omnatigray | omnatigray.org Not a “Law-and-Order Enforcement Operation” On November 4, 2020, unelected Prime Minister of Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed waged a war on Tigray. He claimed that the war was a domestic "law-and-order enforcement operation” that intended to target a few political rivals from the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). Abiy claimed the operation would not disrupt the daily lives of Tigrayan civilians. Six months into the war with reports of great civilian casualties, ethnic based indiscriminate murder, rape, and other human rights violations – it is undeniably clear that this isn’t a ‘‘law-and-order enforcement operation’’ targeted at a few Tigrayan politicians, but rather a genocidal war on Tigray and Tigrayans as a whole. | @omnatigray | omnatigray.org Destroying Tigray’s Infrastructure Invading armies targeted various civilian institutions such as: hospitals, universities, power dam, sugar factory, textile factory, cement factory, and several others. The looting and destruction of civilian institutions highlight the true intent behind the war: disenfranchising Tigrayans for generations. | @omnatigray | omnatigray.org Destroying Tigray’s Infrastructure Some of the destroyed institutions include: Ancient religious institutions such as Al-Nejashi Mosque, St. Amanuel Orthodox Church, and Debre Damo. Not only were these religious sites bombed, but numerous artifacts and manuscripts were also stolen. Hospitals in Mekelle, Shire, Adigrat, Adwa and other Tigrayan cities have been looted and destroyed. In Adigrat alone, Adigrat Hospital has been decimated with only 10 out of the 400 healthcare workers, working to serve the city.

    Ethiopian Catholic Church Adigrat Diocese- Wukro Social and Development program(ECC-AD-WSDP) Project Proposal on Additional Nutrition Support for Moderately Malnourished Children to Mitigate Child Malnourishment Problems. Address: Ethiopian Catholic Church -Adigrat Diocese Wukro-Social and Development Program(ECC-AD-WSDP) P.O.Box: 132, Tigrai, Wukro Tel: +251-0344-43-10-13/+251-914-70-28-37 E-mail: [email protected] April 2019 1. Introduction 1.1. Malnutrition in Ethiopia Malnutrition refers to a pathological state resulting from a relative or absolute deficiency or excess of one or more essential nutrients. It is a state of nutrition where the weight for age, height for age and weight for height indices are below -2 Z-score of the NCHS reference. Malnutrition continues to be a major public health problem in developing countries. It is the most important risk factor for the burden of disease causing about 300,000 deaths per year directly and indirectly responsible for more than half of all deaths in children. Of the nearly 1.9 billion children in the developing world, 31% are stunted. Despite the continued progress in all the developing countries, it is still predicted that there will be 128-155 million underweight children by the year 2020 with 35% of these children to be from sub-Saharan Africa, (Mulugeta Child Paper, 2007). Health and physical consequences of prolonged states of malnourishment among children are: delay in their physical growth and motor development; lower intellectual quotient (IQ), greater behavioral problems and deficient social skills; susceptibility to contracting diseases. Much of the burden of deaths resulting from malnutrition, estimated to be over half of childhood deaths in developing countries, can be attributed to just mild and moderate malnutrition, varying from 45% for deaths due to measles to 61% for deaths due to diarrhea.
