They are not "civilized Europeans" so EU and US don't care about themand they don't have good or Uranium either:‘People are under siege’: why Ethiopia’s war in Tigray isn’t over

— "For months, Father Tesfaye* has taken his battered Land Cruiser and shuttled secretly between his home district of Irob and #Mekelle, the capital of #Ethiopia’s northern #Tigray region, ferrying sick people, medicines and small amounts of desperately needed #food.

Eritrean troops block the one good road into Irob, preventing aid agencies from bringing in humanitarian supplies, so the Roman Catholic priest must take a treacherous back route through the mountains to avoid their checkpoints.

When war broke out in Tigray in November 2020, Eritrea’s military swept into Irob and other parts of the region as an ally of Ethiopia’s federal government against the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which once dominated Ethiopian politics."
