Mr. Speaker, the fourth and final petition highlights the human rights situation in Ethiopia.
The petitioners are concerned about the situation in Tigray, as well as other regions. The petitioners call on Canada to be more engaged with the situation, working to end all violence and address the underlying causes of violence, to address humanitarian issues, to support independent monitoring, to call for international investigations into credible reports of war crimes and gross violations of human rights, and to engage directly with the Ethiopian and Eritrean governments around the conflict in Tigray and other human rights challenges in the region.
Finally, the petitioners want to see the Government of Canada support short-, medium- and long-term election monitoring in Ethiopia.
