WASHINGTON - Thousands of protesters mobilized by Ethiopian and Eritrean diaspora groups marched in Washington and several Canadian cities this week, condemning suggestions by U.S. officials that the Ethiopian government carried out atrocities in the Tigray region. She called on Eritrean forces and Amhara militiamen in Tigray to leave the region. And to that end, the prompt withdrawal of Eritrean forces and Amhara regional forces from Tigray are essential steps. There have been similar anti-Ethiopian government protests, calling for an end to hostilities and accountability in the Tigray region. Pro-democracy protests by Eritrean and Ethiopian diaspora have also demanded withdrawal of Eritrean troops and Amhara regional forces from the region.
