Change.org Petition: Ethiopia needs internet - Petition for Free Satellite (StarLink) Internet for Tigray Region of Ethiopia

The Tigray region of Ethiopia is wracked by conflict and suffering. Experts are trying to understand the reports of vast human rights violations, including ethnic cleansing and weaponized sexual violence. But it’s nearly impossible to know the extent of the situation. The people of Tigray are completely cut off by a nearly 3-year communications blackout. Now, many are turning to Starlink, a satellite internet service that has been critical to the survival of Ukraine, as a potential solution. Wale started a petition asking for the same service to be provided to those under threat in Ethiopia as well. Sign to add your voice to the call.

Dear Elon Musk, we appreciate your contribution to the world and supporting the people of Ukraine with free Satellite (StarLink) internet service. We would like to tell you what’s been happening in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Regime cut services such as electricity, telecommunications, banking and humanitarian aid in Tigray for almost three years now. There are countless people unable to reach their families or loved ones. Over 500,000 people have already died in Tigray as a result of the war as well as manmade starvation and the humanitarian aid blockade. The people of Tigray have been in blackout from any way of communication as we mentioned above for three years till now by the Ethiopian and Eritrean governments. So, we really hope you will help to provide your Satellite (StarLink) internet to the people of Tigray.  Please sign and share this petition. We appreciate you for your humanity.
