1. It’s been over 100 days since the #WarOnTigray began. Why has Canada failed to call out the crimes against humanity that have been exposed by multiple international organizations? @JustinTrudeau @rpatricktravers @MarciSurkes #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide
2. In @JustinTrudeau’s phone call with @AbiyAhmedAli, he failed to call out the war crimes being committed against the people of Tigray. Why are you enabling genocide? @rpatricktravers @MarciSurkes @MarcGarneau #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide #StopWarOnTigray
3. History cannot keep repeating itself, delivering on the promise of ‘never again’ falls on this generation. @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @karinagould @theJagmeetSingh @erinotoole @UN @rpatricktravers @MarciSurkes #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide #StopWarOnTigray
4. “The Responsibility to Protect, #R2P norm championed by a Canadian-instigated commission & adopted by the UN General Assembly in ’05 to end a slaughter of the innocents should now be invoked.” #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau http://tgam.ca/38ffava
5. PM @JustinTrudeau said that “The Government of Canada will continue to address violence against women, both at home & abroad” where Is he now? @rpatricktravers @MarciSurkes @cathayw #TigrayGenocide #TrudeauFailedTigray http://bit.ly/3bw3mqt
6. .@JustinTrudeau needs to take a firm stand AGAINST #WarOnTigray. We do not want to hear anymore soft diplomacy as Ethiopia receives millions in aid and uses it to massacre and kill the innocent people of Tigray. Stop #TigrayGenocide! #TrudeauFailedTigray @MarcGarneau
7. .@JustinTrudeau your lackluster statement is not acceptable. You must take a firm stand against ethnic cleansing. Our sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers beg you to stand up for humanity! #StopWarOnTigray #TigrayGenocide http://bit.ly/30xB7l2
8. We demand an independent investigation into war crimes in Tigray. The perpetrators who commit the atrocities cannot investigate themselves! That includes the @_AfricanUnion. @MarcGarneau we need less condemning and more action! Stop #TigrayGenocide!
9. “UN rights chief calls for probe in Ethiopia’s Tigray” @JustinTrudeau when will you do the same? #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocidehttp://bit.ly/2Nc5QBa
10.“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada” -@JustinTrudeau.When will you uphold your promise? #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide
11.The “deeply concerned” messages that countries like Canada have put out do little to help the millions facing starvation; young girls & women being raped & thousands of refugees in Sudan. #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @MarcGarneau @karinagould @SvenTrueNorth
12.Evidence of ethnic cleansing, weaponized rape, massacres of civilians, & other human rights violations in Tigray have been reported by @hrw and @amnesty. Failing to act means becoming an ally of #TigrayGenocide. #TrudeauFailedTigray @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @theJagmeetSingh
13. Disturbing videos coming from across Tigray show @AbiyAhmedAli’s troops massacring innocent civilians then throwing them off a cliff. How many more videos must be released before Canada @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau decide to take a stand? #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide
SGBV
1.In Tigray “they had registered at least 200 girls (in Mekelle) under the age of 18, who said they had been raped.” The majority said perpetrators wore #Ethiopia|n army uniforms. @JustinTrudeau @MaryamMonsef #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @UN https://t.co/LHlKCZdV5h
2.Another described how 4 Eritrean soldiers raped her while forcing her husband to watch. Take a stand against SGBV crimes in war. #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @MaryamMonsef @Marcisurkes @endrapeinwar @rpatricktravers http://yhoo.it/38vQ4Zm
3. Horrific abuse accusations surge in Ethiopia’s cruel war on Tigray. #MeToo #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @PattyHajdu @GarnettGenuis @MaryamMonsef @Karinagould https://reut.rs/3bqDNHk
4.According to @UN representative on sexual violence in conflict, there has been a high number of reported rapes in Tigray. #MeToo #TigrayGenocide@JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @PattyHajdu @GarnettGenuis @MaryamMonsef @Karinagould @PattyHajdu https://bit.ly/2Px4Acr
5.Disturbing reports of individuals allegedly forced to rape members of their family, under threats of imminent violence. No one should have to endure such awful & humiliating crimes. #TigrayGenocide @MarcGarneau @PattyHajdu @GarnettGenuis @MaryamMonsef https://bit.ly/2O23dlV
6.‘It is war & things like [rape] happen’ is a statement that justifies sexual violence by Ethiopian Armed Forces. Rape is a punishable war crime. #MonaLisaAbraha #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @GarnettGenuis @MarcGarneau @IntlCrimCourt @Karinagould https://reut.rs/3cc5t1W
7. .@UN stated “disturbing reports of individuals allegedly forced to rape members of their own family, under threats of imminent violence.” Canada must demand immediate humanitarian access & independent human rights investigation #TigrayGenocide @MarcGarneau @Karinagould @HedyFry
8.Many women were raped in Mekelle. This is being done purposely to break the morale of the people, threaten them and make them give up the fight. Rape is a punishable war crime. #TigrayGenocide #TrudeauFailedTigray @MarcGarneau @endrapeinwar @Karinagould https://bbc.in/3l0NvmX
9. In January, over 200 girls under 18 reported being raped in Mekelle. How many girls are going to be victims of the inhumane Ethiopian forces before the international community steps in? #TigrayGenocide #TrudeauFailedTigray @GarnettGenuis @Karinagould https://bbc.in/3l0NvmX
10.Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy includes “Peace and security, by promoting inclusive peace processes and combatting gender-based violence.” @JustinTrudeau does this apply to women & girls in Tigray? @MarcGarneau #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide
11. Rape is being used as a weapon of war in Tigray. This article speaks of a young lady who was gang-raped for days, then had foreign objects inserted into her genitals by Eritrean soldiers. Make this stop! #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau http://bit.ly/3t7gOqL
12.The people who were massacred in Tigray are members of our family. The women & girls who were gang-raped are also our sisters & cousins. Please have a heart. Speak up for them. #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @MaryamMonsef @cafreeland @MarciSurkes
13. Women and girls have been adversely affected by the war in Tigray. Hundreds of rapes reported & disturbing videos showing the atrocities committed by Eritrean and Ethiopian forces in Tigray. Stop #TigrayGenocide! #TrudeauFailedTigray @MaryamMonsef @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau
14. “There are also disturbing reports of individuals allegedly forced to rape members of their own family, under threats of imminent violence.” This is barbaric to say the least! #TigrayGenocidehttp://bit.ly/3t9kus6 @MaryamMonsef @MarcGarneau @theJagmeetSingh @erinotoole
15. The use of rape & sexual violence against young girls and women in Tigray must be condemned. Perpetrators must be held accountable! @AbiyAhmedAli & #IsaiasAfwerki are using rape as a way to punish, humiliate & destroy the women of Tigray! @JustinTrudeau #TigrayGenocide
Cessation of Hostilities
1. The Int’l community MUST force Abiy to have a national dialogue. Tigrayans must have a right to self-determination, and this right was threatened since Sept 2020 when they elected TPLF. Demand for Abiy and Isaias to STOP the atrocities. @yfblanchet @sbergeron #TigrayGenocide
2.We will always remember our beloved people, including family, who were massacred for being part of a particular ethnic group. @JustinTrudeau – there is an evil ethnic cleansing going on in Tigray. when will you act? #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide http://cnn.it/2OESuOf
3. As you prepare for Easter, remember the people of Tigray who are being massacred in a state sponsored genocidal war. They are being killed in their places of worship and to make it worse, there is a coverup. @MarcGarneau @karinagould @ChevrierAntoine #TigrayGenocide
4.How many more lives must be lost before the Canadian gov’t. takes action in stopping the #TigrayGenocide? We are now at day 130. @JustinTrudeau @karinagould @MarcGarneau @theJagmeetSingh Tigrayans cannot wait any longer. #TrudeauFailedTigray #StopWarOnTigray
5. “We have hundreds of thousands of people that have been forcibly displaced and tens of thousands of those are still cut off in hiding or in areas where there is no access to assistance.” #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau http://to.pbs.org/3efacCB

2.“Disruptions in basic services, such as communications, banking services & electricity, pose serious challenges to humanitarian efforts while putting people further at risk.” @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @rpatricktravers @MarciSurkes #TigrayGenocide http://bit.ly/3rE5xy0
3. “A doctor at a hospital in Mekelle told AFP that 27 civilians were killed in artillery and rocket shelling on November 28, the day federal forces arrived and that more than 100 were wounded.” @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau #TigrayGenocide https://bit.ly/38dA9hZ

5. Farmers in Tigray have been forbidden by Eritrean troops from using their own land. Missing this critical time will mean, there will be nothing to harvest next year. @JustinTrudeau please do the right thing! Please understand this war will have lasting effects.#TigrayGenocide
6.“They are coming in very bad conditions, very exhausted, dehydrated, skinny..It’s becoming a desperate situation very quickly,” MSF says on people arriving in Shire. #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @karinagould @stejobin @MarcGarneau http://bit.ly/3qHwkbc
7. .@UNReliefChief warned of possible famine “if food does not get through and there is no agricultural revival.” It’s time to condemn this war. @karinagould @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide #StopWarOnTigray http://bit.ly/3l47QI4
8. #TrudeauFailedTigray & Tigrayans by staying silent. Silence is NOT an option when hundreds of thousands of lives are at risk of starvation. @JustinTrudeau SPEAK NOW! #TigrayGenocide @MarcGarneau @rpatricktravers @SvenTrueNorth @karinagould @cafreeland @stejobin @ChevrierAntoine
9. Countless evidence circulating the media on the ethnic cleansing, weaponized rape, massacres of civilians, and other human rights violations in Tigray. Canada can’t continue to stand by, it must act to end war. #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau #TrudeauFailedTigray
10. The challenge in Ethiopia is very significant, it’s one that we’re very, very focused on particularly the situation in Tigray where we are seeing very credible reports of human rights abuses & atrocities that are ongoing.” @MarcGarneau #TigrayGenocide http://cnn.it/3ctX3TQ
Eritrean & Amhara Troops Out
1. The US and EU have called for #EritreanTroopsOutOfTigray. Canada’s failure to follow suit makes you seriously question Canada’s views on human rights. @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @theJagmeetSingh @erinotoole #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide https://bit.ly/3bfoxwO
2. .@MarcGarneau Why was the presence of Eritrean troops left out of your statement? @AbiyAhmedAli has invited Eritrea to massacre the people of Tigray. You must act now! @stejobin @ChevrierAntoine #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocidehttp://bit.ly/2OLnxYM
3. It’s important to remember Ethiopia welcomed Eritrea into Tigray to massacre its people. Ethiopians have blood on their hands for the 4 months they have turned a blind eye to the pain of their countrymen. #StopWarOnTigray #TigrayGenocide http://bit.ly/3bB7yFv

12. The attacks carried out in Tigray by Amhara militias must be condemned by the world! Amhara militias are committing war crimes and then turning around and denying their role in the destruction of Tigray. Canada can’t turn a blind eye! @JustinTrudeau #TrudeauFailedTigray
13. “Tigrayans are being slaughtered like animals. There is no justice and no law.” #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @karinagould @rpatricktravershttp://bit.ly/3t8UrkM
14. Both Eritrean & Ethiopian troops continue to cause death and mayhem in Tigray. Their refusal to leave Tigray undermines the Biden administration & EU. These parties must be held accountable for their crimes! @JustinTrudeau @theJagmeetSingh @erinotoole #TigrayGenocide
15. .@JustinTrudeau needs to take action by demanding @AbiyAhmedAli remove Eritreans troops & Amhara militias from Tigray. ACT NOW AND SAVE LIVES. #TigrayGenocide #TrudeauFailedTigray @MarcGarneau @MichaelChongMP @JackHarrisNDP @Rob_Oliphant @cafreeland @sbergeron @rubysahotalib
16. Graphic videos have been circulating of Ethiopian troops gathering civilian male youths, robbing them of their possessions, executing them, & then tossing them over a cliff. Canada has yet to condemn such atrocities. Why? @JustinTrudeau ACT NOW! #TigrayGenocide
