Izwe i-United States of America ikhathazeke kakhulu ngemibiko yobutha esifundeni iTigray e-Ethiopia futhi ligxeka noma yikuphi ukuhlaselwa kokuphindisela kwabantu bakule ndawo, kusho okhulumela uMnyango Wezwe ngoMsombuluko. Isikhulumi, uNed Price, utshele abezindaba ukuthi i-USA iyaqhubeka nokucela ukuthi kuxoxiswane ngokumiswa kwalolu dweshu oluye lwaphoqa abantu ababalelwa ezigidini ezimbili ukuba babaleke emakhaya abo futhi baphoqelela abantu ababalelwa ku-400,000 ukuba babhekane nezimo zendlala.
“Sikugxeka kakhulu noma yikuphi ukuhlaselwa kokuphindisela okwenziwe noma okungabhekiswa kubahlali esifundeni saseTigray, kungaba ngamasosha ahleliwe noma amasosha ezokuphepha noma yizigelekeqe,” kusho uPrice. “Bonke labo ababhekene nokwephula umthetho wamazwe omhlaba wokusiza nokuhlukunyezwa kwamalungelo abantu kumele babhekane necala,” engeza.
