We write to bring your urgent attention to a grave human rights violation on January 30, 2025 , just after sunset, at the Djibouti-Ethiopia border . A Djiboutian military drone strike targeted innocent Afar pastoralists in the Siyarou and Eli-Dar areas, resulting in multiple civilian deaths and severe injuries. This attack devastated Afar families engaged in their traditional nomadic way of life, tending to their livestock, which is their primary means of survival.
