Currently the section on "Claims of intent" includes a quote by Prime Minister Abiy (a living person) in which he jokes about sexual violence in the [[battle of Adwa]] and the [[Eriterian war]] in a January 2019 speech. The Tigray war started in November 2020. While Abiy's remarks are appalling I'm not sure if they demonstrate his "intent" to use rape as a weapon in a war that would happen more than a year later. And the part about the remarks constituting an "endorsement" of rape also seems to be tenuous. |

If Abiy did endorse and weaponize rape then we should find better and stronger sources to make that claim.'''[[User:Vice regent|VR]]''' <sub>[[User talk:Vice regent|talk]]</sub> 14:20, 14 November 2021 (UTC) |

Does this article count?
Note -- the OP started this conversation on the WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/186 talkpage. It should be on this talk page. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 16:38, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
Should I list sexual violence in the Tigray War 04:00, 1 February 2021 in my list here? This is not literally articles addressing the works or achievements of African women, it's quite the opposite, it's an article addressing widespread and systematic war crimes against African women and girls (I haven't noticed reports of male victims), possibly crimes against humanity or genocide, although that might take years to be determined legally. Filsan Abdullahi, a Minister in the federal Ethiopian government, has started investigations into these. Boud (talk) 02:26, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Boud does this include Amhara women who were raped by Tigray TPLF regional male soldiers?Clownshking (talk) 03:25, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Currently the article is quite out of date, and there are very few attributions of the perpetrators, despite many of the recent sources attributing many rapes to the EDF. Any well-sourced information of rape of Amhara girls, women, boys and/or men by TPLF soldiers of any male/female/LGBTQ gender should be added to the article; the same goes for any ethnicity of the victims. Some of the participants in WikiProject Women may quite likely keep an eye on the article to make sure that it is properly sourced and NPOVed. The most useful information will be on investigations, support groups for the victims, compensation, and/or legal cases. Yikono is one support group, but most likely there are others too.

Claims of intent
Currently the section on "Claims of intent" includes a quote by Prime Minister Abiy (a living person) in which he jokes about sexual violence in the battle of Adwa and the Eriterian war in a January 2019 speech. The Tigray war started in November 2020. While Abiy's remarks are appalling I'm not sure if they demonstrate his "intent" to use rape as a weapon in a war that would happen more than a year later. And the part about the remarks constituting an "endorsement" of rape also seems to be tenuous.
If Abiy did endorse and weaponize rape then we should find better and stronger sources to make that claim.VR talk 14:20, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
