Dozens of protesters took to the streets in Ottawa’s ByWard Market Saturday afternoon to show support for people living in the Tigray region of Ethiopia.
“We’re calling for an end to the blockades around Tigray and for more media attention on the dire humanitarian crisis. Even the World Health Organization has said nowhere on Earth are people more at risk than Tigray,” Azeb Gebrehiwot, one of the organizers of the protest said.
