1. Reports coming out of Tigray indicate that in the last 4 months, thousands of priests have been executed by Ethiopian & Eritrean forces. 48 priests were killed in Ahse’a, a town near #Adwa just in 1 day. @Pontifex_it help us by condemning these killings. #TigrayGenocide

2. Ethiopia|n & Eritrean troops are systematically bombing & looting historical #churches in #Tigray. Thousands of worshippers are killed while attending mass. Tigray, an ancient land of faith is being erased by @AbiyAhmedAli & #IsaiasAfwerki. @Pontifex_it #TigrayGenocide

3.Horrifying massacres are taking place in Tigray. Scores of civilians killed while attending mass, people slaughtered while seeking shelter in churches. #DengelatMassacre & #AxumMassacre are just the tip of the iceberg. @Pontifex_it help us! #TigrayGenocide

4. This is #culturalcleansing! Tigray is home to 1000s of churches & monasteries, with the oldest carved into rock-faces. Thousands of sacred #Christian manuscripts are guarded in the region. The looting is about erasing our cultural heritage. @Pontifex_it #TigrayGenocide

5. Massacres, widespread rapes, looting & starvation are the daily reality of the ongoing #TigrayGenocide. In addition, world heritage sites in #Tigray such as Al-Nejashi #Mosque, #Debredamo & Assimba monasteries have been bombed by government forces @UNESCO @AAzoulay @Pontifex_it

6. On the 2nd of March @SecBlinken urged @AbiyAhmedAli to immediately end the hostilities & asked for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Tigray. Like many leaders, he took a stand against #TigrayGenocide. @luigidimaio your silence is unacceptable! @FedericaMog @EP_President

7. On the 23rd of February, after visiting Ethiopia on behalf of the @Europarl_EN, @Haavisto stated that the crisis in Tigray appeared “out of control”. In the meantime, @luigidimaio talks about everything else. Not even a word on #TigrayGenocide! https://www.africanews.com/2021/02/23/eu-envoy-warns-tigray-crisis-out-of-control/

8. Ethiopia’s @Europarl_EN ambassador Hirut Zemene continues to lie about #TigrayGenocide. What are the values in which Italy believes? @luigidimaio You need to take a stand now! @EUCouncil @PaoloGentiloni @EP_President @MAZappia @pierofassino @emmabonino https://euobserver.com/foreign/151150

9. .@luigidimaio & @UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Libya @UNJanKubis met in February. Does he realize the impact that #TigrayGenocide will have on migratory flows? @MAZappia @EP_President @lauraboldrini @FedericaMog @ActionAidItalia @UNHCRItalia @SaveChildrenIT

11. .@luigidimaio you said “For us, respect for human rights is an unbreakable commitment.” Italy permanently halts arms sales to Saudi Arabia & UAE. Stick to your unbreakable commitment & stop arming Ethiopia as they are conducting #TigrayGenocide. #DiMaioActNow @antondepierro

16. .@Pontifex said “if you manufacture weapons, or invest in a company that does, it’s duplicitous to call yourself Christian.” Arming Ethiopia supports #TigrayGenocide, weaponized hunger + rape in one of the oldest christian regions.@lauraboldrini @MinisteroDifesa

18. Does Italy know that it’s likely participating in the #WarOnTigray through its military support to Ethiopia which has been actively engaged in wiping out #Tigrayans? #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa

19. If Italians are worried about immigration issues it should stop ask their government to cut the military agreement with Ethiopia that is killing its people & causing thousands to flee persecution.#ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa

20. Italy needs to cut any military agreement with Ethiopia since their govt. is now being source of instability in the Horn of Africa. #ItalyGunsinTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesahttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/22/if-ethiopia-descends-into-chaos-it-could-take-the-horn-of-africa-with-it
