Tigray Under Siege – BBC Africa Eye documentary


Fighting in Ethiopia’s civil war has claimed tens of thousands of lives, while millions more face hunger and starvation. For almost two years, the Tigray region has been largely isolated and under a state of siege. Millions of Tigrayans are in need of food and lack of supplies have pushed health systems to the brink of collapse. “There is…

  1. Y'all are doing way too many stories about"the 1st Black female"to do whatever she's doing in a man dominated industry…there are way more important stories around the continent that you could tell.

  2. I am Tigrayian but I am away in the USA, my heartaches seeing this. Also knowing my own uncle died in the same ways. Hurts me on a different level. My own blood, suffered like this.

  3. This war has claimed 600,000 lives in two years, more than have been killed in the Ukraine and yet it is rarely mentioned in the West. Indeed most of us in Europe and in North America do not even know this war in going on. Nearly every day the Ukraine is on our news but the Tigray rarely if ever gets a mention. Why is this, is it because the Tigray is not in Europe and its people are not white?

  4. “WE THE PEOPLE From ETHIOPIA “MUST” REMOVE & REPLACE THE GOVERNMENT PERIOD.”
    ~ Any GODless government “off”icial who does this to their people WARrants assassination by “THE PEOPLE”, NOT external assistance. ~
    NO MERCY.

  5. Thanks to the greedy, corrupted Ethiopian governments, the poor people is always the one who’s paying the price. Ethiopian politics is the worst kind. My heart is breaking for innocent people 😢🙏🏾

  6. This is heartbreaking to watch, why isn’t the news media not picking up on this and making awareness for people to help. Everyday people throw away food and here you have people who need it…

  7. This was too difficult to watch, I couldn't finish it.1. Because it makes one feelvbad taking common necessities for granted. 2. Feeling intense anger towards world leaders and African politicians with authority to help these people yet they choose to ignore it.

  8. I know this is a really severe situation for everyone involved but I can’t help but wonder why they have many children at such a young age. You would think it’s common sense to not bring someone into this world when you can’t even take care of your basic necessities. Oh yea, I forgot that they have no sex ed either. What is going on there? Oh yea, the corrupt government is taking everything for themselves. Just a sick cycle with no end.

  9. Bishop President of Malawi go to the UN and trumpet a protest about this abuse of black children and the black race, otherwise your country will be blamed forever by each black person of every country !!! No kidding, its serious.

  10. I am really sorry for the suffering of these poor people, but it was the Tigreans that started the fighting, they are rebels, they use their make their own children to fight in this rebellion.
    The Tigreans have ruled for almost 30 years, and were peacefully removed from power, now they start fighting with the help of Egypt and weapons from US.. They make up 6 or 7 % of the population, how can they rule Ethiopia

  11. As an American, it is completely heart wrenching and sickening that there has been 0 media coverage, or any information given from the government about the largest human confict of the 21st century. Stay strong Ethiopia 🇪🇹

  12. It’s not Ok for anyone to sleep hungry in 2023! How can we help? It would be great if someone can share info, especially since we saw help is not reaching these villages
