Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to say thank you so much for coming and telling your stories. I know how difficult it is to hear these stories, so I can only imagine how difficult it is to share them.
Ms. Arefayne, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for what you've had to go through. I honour the bravery that you are showing by being here and sharing that with us today.
I would also like to ask that the letter that has been submitted to all members of this committee be submitted to the analysts to be part of this study.
I also want to apologize again, on behalf of this committee, that witnesses were invited.... I am appalled by some of the members of the committee, that they allowed witnesses to come and testify here in such an obnoxious and assaultive manner. I'm deeply sorry that you had to experience that.
Mr. Kapila, I might start with you, if I can. Can you tell me why there are still Eritrean troops present in Tigray?
