Introductions
Security and Justice for Tigrayans (SJT) is a non-political, non religious global movement initiated by concerned Tigrayans-Ethiopians (henceforth Tigrayans) in the diaspora. The creation of this initiative is stimulated by the dire situation the current Federal leadership of Ethiopia is posing in our country in general and Tigray in particular. The threat to Tigray-Born citizens of Ethiopia since the current Federal administration, led by Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed, came to power in April 2018 has been one of survival and death issue. The war waged against all aspects of being Tigrayans – be it physical, social, psychological and emotional – has left the peoples in the State of Tigray beleaguered on all sides. The survival of the people of Tigray depends on our own collective will and action and that of the greater human family. The purpose of this initiative is, therefore, to safeguard the security and justice of Tigray, and the rights and interests of its peoples. This initiative uses peaceful means of struggle to achieve the aforementioned purpose. The next background section of this paper will detail the various verifiable means by which these onslaughts are sustained against the Peoples of Tigray.
