Far from accepting Abiy’s declaration of victory, the Tigray leader asserted that “we are sure we’ll win.”He also accused the Ethiopian forces of carrying out a “genocidal campaign” against the Tigray people. “The secretary-general once again underscored the need for the full respect for human rights, as well as for humanitarian access for ourselves and our humanitarian partners," Dujarric said. Hospitals and health centers in the Tigray region are running “dangerously low” on supplies to care for the wounded, the International Committee of the Red Cross has said. The U.N. has been unable to access the Tigray region.
