Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us today and taking part in this extremely important study.
This study is the result of a motion put forward by the Bloc Québécois. I am in contact with members of the Tigrayan community, and we speak almost every week.
Mr. Gebreluel, one of the biggest frustrations for the community right now has to do with the inability of western governments to take a stand and call the problem what is. They won't call what's happening in Tigray a “genocide”. That's why you're here today.
Mr. Gebreluel, if we refer to the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, how does the situation in Tigray represent a genocide?
