  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “There are prospects [for a new Ukrainian counteroffensive]. First and foremost we need to stabilise the situation at the line of contact. As you can see, it is not stable. I would say this: it's their turn now. They need to be stopped, and we will stop them. Then we need the appropriate staffing for the brigades so that they can take the next counteroffensive step.” 13 hours ago
  • Giorgi Revishvili
    Giorgi Revishvili “Despite the Georgian Dream having the majority to override the veto, it was important for the president to make the move. The president rightfully said how it [foreign agent's law] is a Russia law and contradicts all of European standards. There is also a fundamental shift in the political landscape with the younger generation becoming increasingly involved in politics. The youth is the driving force behind these protests.” 13 hours ago
  • Salome Zourabichvili
    Salome Zourabichvili “Today I set a veto … on the law, which is Russian in its essence and which contradicts our constitution.” 14 hours ago
  • Mohammed Jamjoom
    Mohammed Jamjoom “What we're seeing more and more of in the past few days is that there is a huge amount of disagreement amongst war cabinet members about the plan going forward for Gaza. And this echoes also the concerns by US government that has said repeatedly that Netanyahu needs to try to figure out a plan for a post-war Gaza scenario.” 14 hours ago
  • Benny Gantz
    Benny Gantz “If you choose to lead the nation to the abyss, we will withdraw from the government [by June 8], turn to the people, and form a government that can bring about a real victory. We did not claim dominance. We did not demand jobs. All we wanted was to serve our country and our people. For many months, the unity was indeed real and meaningful. It prevented serious mistakes, led to great achievements, and returned home over a hundred hostages. Together, we faced the hardships of the campaign, protected the nation with a good and strong spirit - and gave the fighters on the front a feeling of being backed by a shared destiny. But lately, something has gone wrong. Essential decisions were not made. A small minority has taken over the command bridge of the Israeli ship of state and is steering her toward the rocks. I came here today to tell the truth. And the truth is hard: while Israeli soldiers show supreme bravery on the front, some of the people who sent them into battle behave with cowardice and irresponsibility.” 17 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Let's not forget about other fronts beyond the Kharkiv front: the Kramatorsk, Pokrovsk, and Kurakhove fronts, and the southern fronts; it's tough on all of those fronts, and our forces are fighting back with dignity. I am especially grateful to the soldiers who repelled the Russian assault on Chasiv Yar. Our forces destroyed more than 20 pieces of the occupiers' equipment. Good job!” 17 hours ago
  • António Guterres
    António Guterres “The only permanent way to end the cycle of violence and instability is through a two-state solution, Israel and Palestine living side-by-side in peace and security, with Jerusalem as capital of both states.” 20 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “Civilians are dying there [on border regions such as Belgorod]. It's obvious. They are shooting directly at the city center, at residential areas. And I said publicly that if this continues, we will be forced to create a security zone, a buffer zone. That is what we are doing.” 21 hours ago
  • John Holman
    John Holman “At present Ukraine is outmanned in terms of soldiers in parts of the front line even before the latest Russian attacks. Ukraine said that there were seven Russian soldiers to one Ukrainian soldier, so that's going to put fresh pressure on them.” 21 hours ago

Conflict in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Conflict in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“Abiy [Abiy Ahmed] has continuously lied on humanitarian aid and the presence of Eritrean soldiers, among other things. It wouldn't be rational to take his word. A truce as with any other peace deal should be formalized and transparent, with mediators providing some guarantees. With such a framework absent, one shouldn't be hopeful.”

“Our position is clear. We are ready to observe a ceasefire for humanitarian operations and for public services to be restored. But there have been no developments on the ground until this day.”

“The global paralysis on Ethiopia's armed conflict has emboldened human rights abusers to act with impunity and left communities at risk feeling abandoned. As evidence of atrocities mounts, world leaders should support the creation of an international investigative mechanism and the UN Security Council should put Ethiopia on its formal agenda.”

“The new onslaught of abuses by Amhara forces against Tigrayan civilians remaining in several towns in Western Tigray should ring alarm bells. Without urgent international action to prevent further atrocities, Tigrayans, particularly those in detention, are at grave risk.”

“From that day, Abiy [Abiy Ahmed] felt he was one of the most influential personalities in the world. He felt he had a lot of international support, and that if he went to war in Tigray, nothing would happen. And he was right.”

“The testimonies we heard from survivors describe despicable acts by TPLF fighters [Tigray People's Liberation Front] that amount to war crimes, and potentially crimes against humanity. They defy morality or any iota of humanity.”

“This is an independent investigation, this is the moment we had been waiting for. Ethiopia needs to address what really happened without making any compromise.”

“Civilians in Tigray have been subjected to brutal violence and suffering. The joint investigation team has covered numerous violations and abuses including unlawful killings and extrajudicial executions, torture, sexual and gender-based violence, violations against refugees and forced displacement of civilians. It is vital that all parties heed the repeated calls to end hostilities.”

“The highway is absolutely vital for the national economy. If the Tigrayan forces are able to control that corridor, they can increase pressure on the federal government by restricting the flow of trade. Also, there is the potential for creating a humanitarian corridor to take supplies from Djibouti directly to Tigray bypassing the federal government, therefore providing much needed humanitarian relief to Tigray.”

“We have to make sure the siege on Tigray is broken. We have to make sure that our children are not dying from hunger and starvation. We have to make sure that there is access to food, so we'll do what it takes to make sure that the siege is broken. If marching to Addis [Addis Ababa] is what it takes to break the siege, we will.”

“We have consistently condemned the TPLF [Tigray People's Liberation Front] expansion of the war outside Tigray and we continue to call on the TPLF to withdraw from Afar and Amhara. The expansion of the war however is as predictable as unacceptable given that the Ethiopian government began cutting off humanitarian relief and commercial access to Tigray in June which continues to these days despite horrifying conditions of reported widespread famine.”

“Today the western front of (Mai Tsebri) which was serving as a training and military command post for the terrorist group TPLF [Tigray People's Liberation Front] has been the target of an air strike.”

“The Ethiopian side keeps saying they are targeting a terrorist organisation that they've declared earlier this year. The TPLF [Tigray People's Liberation Front] is saying the Ethiopian government is creating some kind of genocide. There doesn't seem to be an end in sight.”

“What we have is a gigantic political problem that is driving this conflict. I think everyone is looking to the African Union envoy to really impress on these Ethiopian parties that unless they change track here then the country is just going to be on the path to increased deterioration.”

“There is no reason, or no plan, to strike civilians in Mekelle, which is a part of Ethiopia, and home to our own citizens. This is an absolute lie. It is a total and absolute lie of the TPLF junta [Tigray People's Liberation Front], just to misguide the international community, to create pressure on the Ethiopian state.”
