"Eritrea’s president, Isaias Afwerki, has dismissed the allegations as make-believe. 'Everybody talking about human rights violations here and there, rape, looting, this is a fantasy,' he said in 2023.

The Eritrean government has refused to engage with the international investigation team set up to examine human rights violations in Tigray and, according to the UN, there is 'no likely prospect that the domestic judicial system will hold perpetrators accountable for the violations'"(para 35). This information clearly shows the lack of accountability in regards to what happened to the women in Tigray, which indicates...more
