Bennet Statement on the Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray Region

Denver – Today, Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the following statement regarding the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray region:

“I am deeply concerned about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray region and the growing reports of crimes against civilians. Systematic violence against civilians is never an appropriate response, and those responsible must be held accountable. The Ethiopian government and other parties involved must act immediately to bring an end to the violence and allow humanitarian workers, human rights monitors, and journalists full access to the region. Failure to do so will unnecessarily prolong suffering.”
