He’s the ‘world’s doctor,’ nursing a wrenching secret

As he leads the global fight against the pandemic, Dr. Tedros agonizes over the slaughter of his people at home.

But for months he has endured private anguish: He is from Tigray, a part of Ethiopia that since November has endured [crimes against humanity](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiZvEVP0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8xMS8wNS93b3JsZC9hZnJpY2EvZXRoaW9waWEtdGlncmF5LWNvbmZsaWN0LWV4cGxhaW5lZC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTQ1JmVtYz1lZGl0X25rXzIwMjEwNDI0Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTI5NzE1Jm5sPW5pY2hvbGFzLWtyaXN0b2YmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTU2MzMwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpggRVshGCtOyFMUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) by Ethiopian and Eritrean soldiers. Tigrayan children are starving to death, men have been clubbed to death, and women and girls have been subjected to mass rape. Tens of thousands may have been killed. Dr. Tedros’s cousin, an elderly woman, was killed as she tried to shelter in a church; another relative, a 16-year-old student, was shot in the street. “Hunger is weaponized, rape is weaponized, there is indiscriminate killing,” Dr. Tedros told me. He has previously said little about war crimes in Tigray and was reluctant to be interviewed about them. But as we spoke, he wept. I hope that Dr. Tedros’s pain, on behalf of so many Tigrayans, will galvanize a stronger international response demanding that Ethiopia stop the slaughter and allow humanitarian access.

A U.S. ambassador to Armenia, John Marshall Evans, was even fired in 2006 for referring to the Armenian genocide. So it’s a big deal that President Biden [is finally ready](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRiZvEVP0TsaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNC8yMy93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvYXJtZW5pYS1nZW5vY2lkZS10dXJrZXktYmlkZW4uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD00NSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ua18yMDIxMDQyNCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0yOTcxNSZubD1uaWNob2xhcy1rcmlzdG9mJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD01NjMzMCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYIEVbIRgrTshTFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) to recognize that what unfolded in 1915 was indeed a genocide. My own family is Armenian: My surname started out as Khachikian and was translated into Polish as Krzysztofowicz, and then when my dad came to the United States he shortened it to Kristof. So perhaps I’m biased. But I do think that if we’re unwilling to acknowledge a genocide even a century after it happened, what hope is there for us to speak up about atrocities as they unfold … in, say, Tigray? Idaho Wolves We can’t afford to provide housing for homeless children. We can’t afford high-quality pre-K. We can’t afford drug treatment for those fighting addiction.

I found it an engrossing reminder of how much of a role cyberwarfare will play in future conflicts, and how quickly a crisis can escalate even if neither side wants it to. How Should We Cover Crimes Against Humanity? It’s always frustrating to try to cover mass atrocities like those unfolding in Tigray. Many readers have trouble relating to problems happening halfway around the world, which is one reason they get so little coverage.
