DENVER, COLORADO - December 28: Ethiopian Negist Derso, left, raises her fist in the air, as she holds a poster with Ethiopian citizens who have been killed in the war as she joins other Ethiopians as they take part in a march to protest the ongoing war in Ethiopia on December 28, 2020 in Denver, Colorado. According to Wikipedia, the Tigray conflict is an ongoing armed conflict that began in November 2020 in the Tigray Region of Ethiopia, between two sides: the Tigray Regional Government that is led by the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF); and forces supporting Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, with the latter also receiving support from president Isaias Afwerki's Eritrean Forces. As the war continues and communication is cut off, Ethiopians in Colorado are concerned for their families. About 100 people gathered at Zeckendorf Plaza Park to start the rally and then marched to the State Capitol along Lincoln Avenue to call for an end to the war on Tigray, Ethiopia. (Photo by Helen H.
