After war ended in Tigray, a new invasion began — by profiteers. Ex-fighters dig for gold. Former generals seize mines like trophies. Locals face chaos. Meanwhile, gold flows unchecked to the UAE — untraced, unregulated, and lucrative.

The @nytimes.com should know that “refugees” is a technical term that refers to people who are fleeing persecution and systemic violence, including those displaced by natural disasters. Using that word here is making a mockery of refugee protection.

There should be a rule that before you’re allowed to start a war with another political entity you have to square up with their leader in an MMA match. Before you’re allowed to send other people’s children out to get killed you should be asked to put your own safety on the line.
