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.

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. -

Lydon, Chair This thesis historically traces the development and interactions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam in Ethiopia. This analysis of the interactions between the Abrahamic faiths is primarily concerned with identifying notable periods of social cohesion in an effort to contest mainstream narratives that often pit the three against each other. This task is undertaken by incorporating a comparative analysis of the Ethiopian Christian code, the Fetha Nagast (Law of Kings), with Islamic and Judaic legal traditions. Identifying the common threads weaved throughout the Abrahamic legal traditions demonstrates how the historical development and periods of social cohesion in Ethiopia were facilitated. ii The thesis of David Benjamin Spielman is approved.

Sachs. It was established in early 2006 to help sub-Saharan African cities achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). As part of this effort, MCI helps the Cities to create employment, stimulate enterprise development and foster economic growth, especially by stimulating domestic and foreign investment, to eradicate extreme poverty – the first and most fundamental MDG. This effort rests on three pillars: (i) the preparation of various materials to inform foreign investors about the regulatory framework for investment and commercially viable investment opportunities; (ii) the dissemination of the various materials to potential investors, such as through investors’ missions and roundtables, and Millennium Cities Investors’ Guides; and (iii) capacity building in the Cities to attract and work with investors. The Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment promotes learning, teaching, policy-oriented research, and practical work within the area of foreign direct investment, paying special attention to the sustainable development dimension of this investment. -

First and foremost, thanks to the people who generously allowed us into their lives: Tsehay Gebre Egziabiher and her family, Liketebebt Asmare Moges, Shitaye Adane and Aberra Golo, and Ali Hussein. Thanks also to the many others who gave of their time to add their voices, including: Dr. Fekade Ayenachew, Tesfay Hadera, Letechial Yemane, Mitslal Gebremedhin, Fekadu Chekol, Fentaye Yenew, Mulunesh Amsalu, Tarekegn Bogale Yayes, Alemtsehay Tamirat (and Etenesh Mideksa), Shitu Dinder, Tafesse Berhane, Sister Francesca Roma and Senait Bogale. There are many more whose help was indispensible behind the scenes. Many World Vision staff members devoted significant time and energy to this project, but none more so than Tsegaab Tadesse, a fantastic translator, ‘fixer’ and traveling companion. Country Director Margaret Schuler commissioned the book and remained steadfast in providing support and vision throughout every stage of the process. Key World Vision staff members also included: Meron Aberra, Tigist Mamo, Aklilu Kassaye, Etsub Brhanesilassie, Melkamu Negassa, Teshome Belete, Ethiopia Berihun. Abraham Girma, and Tesfaye Labisso. And none of it would have been possible without our World Vision drivers, Tilahun Aleneh, Emmanuel Tadesse, Girmaye Kassaye and, especially, the tireless Mesele Teshome. Heartfelt thanks also go to members of the Government and NGOs that work closely with World Vision, whose support was invaluable, including: the leadership and staff of Healing Hands of Joy: Allison Shigo, Sololia Imiru Amente, Frewiani Taddesse, Senait Tarekegn.
