Tigrayans are living under a man-made famine created and sustained by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces. When will the ICC hold the war criminals of Ethiopia & Eritrea to account?

Ethiopian authorities have transferred Tigrayan deportees from Saudi Arabia to Addis Ababa, where they are held unlawfully. Saudi Arabia is planning on deporting Tigrayans again.

@BritishRedCross
Saudi Arabia should halt the deportation of all Tigrayans to Ethiopia because of the risk they face of persecution. Customary international law prohibits sending people to a country where they face a real risk of persecution or torture.
