Three months into the conflict, despite small openings, the limitations to humanitarian access to Tigray continue to prevent the provision of humanitarian assistance to address the immensity of needs, avert the risk of famine and prevent further loss of life. Central and Western Tigray remain largely out of reach and two Eritrean refugee camps remain completely inaccessible.<\/p>\n<p>Humanitarian access needs to be guaranteed and humanitarian assistance allowed to reach all affected areas and people in Tigray, and border areas of Afar and Amhara regions, in line with the humanitarian principles of impartiality, humanity, neutrality and independence.<\/p>\n<p>The EU is also increasingly concerned for the protection of civilians and refugees in Ethiopia, with reports of casualties and serious human rights, international refugee law and international humanitarian law violations. Effective protection of refugees from harm in accordance with international refugee, human rights and humanitarian law, including preventing any act of refoulement or coerced return targeting Eritrean refugees needs to be ensured.<\/p>\n<p>The EU joins the United States\u2019 call for the withdrawal of Eritrean troops from Ethiopia, which are fueling the conflict in Tigray, reportedly committing atrocities, and exacerbating ethnic violence.<\/p>\n<p>The EU expresses its support to the work of the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission and encourages it to continue its investigations on allegations of violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international law. We hope that the Government of Ethiopia will endorse its recommendations, and fully implement the independent investigations and judicial proceedings announced to ensure full accountability for violations and abuses committed. Access of international media to Tigray must be authorized and local journalists must be protected.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"at-below-post addthis_tool\" data-url=\"https:\/\/addisstandard.com\/news-alert-eu-joins-the-us-in-calling-withdrawal-of-eritrean-troops-from-ethiopia-says-they-are-fueling-the-conflict-in-tigray-renews-call-for-humanitarian-access-for-all\/\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"vw-post-navigation clearfix\">\n<div class=\"vw-post-navigation-content\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press-Ethiopia Through a joint-statement by High-Representative\/Vice-President Josep Borrell, Commissioner Jutta Urpilainen and Commissioner Janez Lenar\u010di\u010d , issued today, the EU said it \u201cjoins the United States\u2019 call for the withdrawal of Eritrean troops from Ethiopia, which are fueling the conflict in Tigray, reportedly committing atrocities, and exacerbating ethnic violence.\u201d EU\u2019s latest call on the need [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84,"featured_media":2602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,12],"tags":[241,236],"class_list":["post-2599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-news","category-policy","tag-africa-press-ethiopia","tag-tigray"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.1 (Yoast SEO v27.0) -
