However, Tigrayan members of UN peacekeeping missions are getting the opposite treatment. The risk to the lives of these service members, including those who served under the auspices of the UN peacekeeping missions, is real. However, when it comes to Tigrayan peacekeepers, the UN and the rest of the international community have turned a blind eye. These actions also overstretched the capacity of UN peacekeeping troops that are present in these areas, leaving vulnerable communities at risk of immediate violence. Any atrocity committed against Tigrayan peacekeeping troops due to an internal political conflict is, by extension, an attack against peacekeepers around the world.
