The two-year war in northern Ethiopia resulted in approximately 100,200 deaths before an African Union-brokered ceasefire was reached in November 2021, a new report reveals. In comparison, the Ukraine-Russia war that began in February led to 81,500 deaths, the same source added.

      Yeah, it’s a mix of factors which lead to this neglect. The Ukraine war is obviously extremely important, it’s just a pity it sucks all the oxygen from the room when it comes to humanitarian responses.

      I think Tigray got a lot more coverage from a) organizations interested in preventing genocide,

      And b) organizations in countries with geopolitical strategic interests in the GERD issues.

        Because of history: Hitler started in the same way attacking Poland, and also Stalin did the same from the East (started with Poland too, and then proceeded to try to take Finland).

            I recommend you to review your sources: before the start of the WWII, Stalin and Hitler signed an agreement so each could invade their own countries without interfering each other (Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact). Both sides were doing the same thing from each their side until Hitler broke the Pact by trying to invade Russia. Only then Stalin begun fighting the nazis as you claim.

            Edit: to add a last phrase to conclude my argument.
