Aid organizations have halted humanitarian efforts following the latest air raid in Ethiopia’s Tigray region. The strike reportedly killed civilians in a camp for displaced people. The halting of aid operations in Tigray follows the famine, of July 2021. It is no coincidence that the region is one of the most powerful industrial centers of a country rich in agricultural products and other natural resources.

At the same time, the population of around 110 million people are among the poorest in the world, deprived of their right to a dignified living and work. The workers and the people of Ethiopia are the ones who must enjoy the wealth of their country to cover all of their contemporary needs.
