#AUSGovActNow – 2

1. The unelected #Ethiopia”n Gov attempts to cover the truth by claiming that the war has ended. However, the crimes committed by Ethiopian and #Eritrea|n troops still continue to increase in number. #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow @ScottMorrisonMP https://www.forbes.com/sites/ewelinaochab/2021/02/16/mass-atrocities-including-the-use-of-rape-and-sexual-violence-in-the-tigray-region-of-ethiopia/?sh=4e093bbe53d3

7. During women’s month, the women of Tigray are being killed, slaughtered and raped. The federal government of #Australia must NOT stay quiet but take immediate action against these atrocious acts. #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow @ScottMorrisonMP @AnnastaciaMP @tanya_plibersek

8. Unelected @AbiyAhmedAli has blocked humanitarian access to the #Tigray Region. The people of Tigray are not only suffering with the pandemic but a genocidal war. Why is the #Australia|n govt. not condemning these atrocities? @ScottMorrisonMP ACT NOW! #AUSGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

11. The Rwandan genocide was allowed to unfold partially because the world stayed silent. We now speak of it and say “never again”. Will #Australia condemn the #TigrayGenocide or be bystanders while genocidal acts are being committed against Tigrayans? #AusGovActNow @scottMorrisonMP

12. Tigray is under the control of undisciplined ???????? & ???????? forces who have committed every imaginable crime against humanity. The people of Tigray have been betrayed by @AbiyAhmedAli.  #AusGovActNow  #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @GladysB @fanniebay @DanielAndrewsM @AnnastaciaMP

13.  For over 127 days @AbiyAhmedAli has done everything in his power to weaken Tigray. Tigrayans are being murdered in cold blood, women and children are being raped. Will Australia condemn Abiy Ahmed & stand by the people of Tigray? #AusGovActNow @ScottmorrisonMP #TigrayGenocide

14. The federal government of #Ethiopia is directly responsible for 2 million displaced peoples in Tigray. @AbiyAhmedAlimust be held accountable for his actions! #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP @AdamBandt @MarisePayne @andrewjgiles @kevinandrewsmp @GladysB

3. The Noble Laureate, Abiy Ahmed waged war on his people; and as a result, thousands are slaughtered and over 5 million people are in risk of a humanitarian crisis! Australia must condemn these actions. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP @MarisePayne @andrewjgiles

4. Ethiopian forces have carried out shelling of numerous urban areas in the #Tigray region. Artillery attacks struck homes, hospitals, schools, and markets, killing at least 83 civilians, including children, and wounding over 300. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP

5. As the diplomatic powers of the western world voice their unequivocal condemnation of #TigrayGenocide,  Australia’s silence has been deafening. Complicity in the face of injustice is incredibly Un-Australian. This is not who we are. #AUSGovActNow  #TigrayGenocide @SenatorWong

6. Australia prides itself on a fierce devotion to upholding women & children’s rights. Today, the world stands perplexed & deeply disappointed as to why Australia remains silent about the state sponsored genocide, starvation & rape happening  in #Tigray. #AUSGovActNow @GladysB

7. #TigrayGenocide is an absolute abomination to global human rights principles. Leaders of the free world continue to be vocal & assertive in demanding an end to these atrocities. Australia’s voice is shockingly amiss during this global conversation. Why? #AUSGovActNow @AdamBandt

8. Australians expect our leaders to amplify our voices & represent our national views & values. #Australian|s are appalled by the human rights violations in #Tigray. When will our reps use their platforms to voice Australia’s condemnation of  #TigrayGenocide ? #AUSGovActNow

13. Australian Prime Minister @ScottMorrisonMP & Senator Hon @MarisePayne need to be reproached for not repatriating all Australians trapped in the ongoing conflict in #Tigray.  @SenatorWong @AnnastaciaMP @tanya_plibersek @LiberalAus @AustralianLabor #AusGovActNow  #TigrayGenocide

14. Minister of foreign affairs and women Senator Hon @MarisePayne must be shamed and held liable for making no public statements regarding the ongoing conflict and #weaponizedrape in Tigray. @AliciaPayneMP @lidia_thorpe @GladysB @ScottMorrisonMP #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

15. With ample reports of war crimes emerging, #Australia|n Prime Minister @ScottMorrisonMP needs to publicly castigate the declared war on Tigray, ask for an immediate ceasefire & criticize all human rights violations that are transpiring.  #AusGovActNow  #TigrayGenocide
