The Biden Administration needs to engage the Ethiopian Government as an important ally within the Horn of Africa in maintaining regional safety. Investigations must be carried out, assist needs to move freely into Tigray and all affected areas, however for all of this to occur – firstly, the aggressors have to be stopped. I final visited Ethiopia in 2019 as part of a delegation of teachers, commissioned to revitalise Addis Ababa University – my alma mater.

There is now an urgent want for international stress on the TPLF for unconditional acceptance of the ceasefire. The refusal of the ceasefire by the TPLF will only speed up the humanitarian crises affecting the region’s most susceptible citizens. Ethiopian Americans, Eritrean Americans, and African Diasporas are informed voters and are politically acutely aware.

It appears to me, to analyse how an election has gone pretty, observers play a important role in reporting back in-depth knowledge and knowledge. Despite the extreme exhausting work, it proved too troublesome to carry the election in numerous areas, owing to logistical and safety challenges. Out of 673 constituencies, 102 had their vote postponed – nearly all of which will head to the polls in September, while 38 in Tigray have been postponed indefinitely. For instance, there are greater than eighty language groups within the country – and all participated in this election.
