Press Release
As we all aware of it, safe return of both Tigrayan IDPs and refugees and ensuring of the territorial integrity of Tigray are among the main pillars of the so called pretoria cessation of hostilities agreement signed nearly three years ago.
Since then, Tigray Youth Association has been calling the signatories and guarantors work fully implement the agreement and return the IDPs and refugees to their home origin safely.
However, the appeals of our assocition have not been heard and as a result the suffering of our IDPs and refugees continues to worsen. They are dying on daily basis from absence of food, medicine, shelter and safety.
It is unfortunate that a two - years old boy displaced from western Tigray was killed in hyena attack at the 70 kare camp in Mekelle for internally displaced people , highlightig the ongoing insecurity by displaced people in Tigray.
Hence, Tigray Youth Association calling on the guarantors to put maximum pressure fully implement the agreement.
Finally, we would like to express our deep condolence to those who are being lost their precious lives every day from the very failure of the implementation of the agreement.
