4. DFAT has not provided further updates on the Australian-Tigrayans stuck in #TigrayGenocide. Our citizens are stuck in a war zone and Australia MUST facilitate their return home @ScottMorrisonMP @MarisePayne @AlboMP@SenatorWong @andrewjgiles  #AusGovActNow

8. As a democratic country, @ScottMorrisonMP MUST use his power to condemn the atrocities committed by unelected PM @AbiyAhmedAli & President Isaias Afwerki. Killing innocent civilians with drones, raping women, blocking humanitarian aid. SPEAK UP NOW! #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

9. How long can you survive without food, water, electricity? The people of Tigray are not only being starved to death but are facing a genocidal war. @ScottMorrisonMP @DanielAndrewsMP @MarkMcGowanMP @AnnastaciaMP @NicoleManison ACT NOW! #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

11. Aus Gov’t. has a responsibility to repatriate its citizens stuck in Tigray. Conditions have progressively worsened since @AbiyAhmedAli declared war in November. Tigrayan-Australians call for #AusGovActNow & bring our Aussies home. #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @ScottMorrisonMP

12. .@dfat & Aus Gov’t. has been static in making efforts to repatriate Aus citizens stuck in Tigray. The conflict is volatile, Aus Gov’t. has a responsibility to the welfare of its citizens & must act NOW. #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow @tanya_plibersek @TonySmithMP @AlboMP @ALeighMP

13. #AusGovActNow & condemn actions of the unelected PM @AbiyAhmedAli for the state-sponsored #TigrayGenocide. Over 130 days of extrajudicial killings, SGBV, destruction & looting of infrastructure. 800k Rwandans were killed in 100 days, the world said ‘never again’ yet here we are.

14. #AusGovActNow & demand an independent investigation into war crimes in #TigrayGenocide. The extent of damage is yet to be verified, & the eye-witness accounts coming out of Tigray are disturbing to hear. @SenatorRyan @davidhurleyHS @JoshFrydenberg @hrw https://www.dw.com/en/ethiopia-un-officials-allege-war-crimes-in-tigray/a-56777495

15. #AusGovActNow & condemn crimes against humanity in #TigrayGenocide committed by unelected PM @AbiyAhmedAli. Aus Gov’t. has an international moral obligation to demand unfettered humanitarian aid & the cessation of hostiles. #TigrayCantWait @SenatorWong https://www.dw.com/en/ethiopias-tigray-region-war-behind-a-steel-wall/a-56737354

16. #AusGovActNow & demand the immediate removal of ???????? & ???????? soldiers in Tigray committing crimes against humanity.

17. #TigrayGenocide ‘soaring death tolls’ need to be ringing alarm bells among #AusGov. The same ???????? gov waging war in Tigray will not be the one to end this. #AusGovActNow & condemn the actions of @AbiyAhmedAli orchestrating this state-sponsored conflict. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/02/ethiopia-eritrean-troops-massacre-of-hundreds-of-axum-civilians-may-amount-to-crime-against-humanity/

18. .@ScottMorrisonMP many international leaders have condemned the active #TigrayGenocide. Your silence supports the ongoing #WeaponizedRape, starvation and ethnic cleansing to great extremes. What are you waiting for? #AusGovActNow @SenatorAbetz @RedCrossAU @UNHumanRights

19. The Australian-Tigrayan community request that @Aust_Parliament make a statement urging the Ethiopian gov’t. to allow independent investigations to be undertaken in #TigrayGenocide & call for the withdrawal of ALL foreign troops who are executing ethnic cleansing. #AusGovActNow

20. .@MarisePayne If you can condemn the atrocities in #UyghurGenocide, then why is it hard for you to do the same with #TigrayGenocide? Speaking up against injustice is a must; silence is violence! #AusGovActNow @austrightsco @ScottMorrisonMP

1. There are over 4.5 million people in the Tigray region of Ethiopia who urgently need emergency aid. The Australian government needs to assist in advocating for unrestricted humanitarian access.  #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP @AdamBandt @MarisePayne @AlexHawkeMP

2. The Australian-Tigrayan community in Australia have been agonizing and grief stricken for over 4 months. Will the Australian Government ask, why? #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @DanielAndrewsMP @SenatorWong @AliciaPayneMP @MarkMcGowanMP @Marshall_stevenn

3. Several reports of war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Tigray have emerged over the past 4 months; Australia has a responsibility to the international community to speak against these atrocious crimes. @Marshall_stevenn @Aust_Parliament @MarisePayne #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

4. Innocent civilians in Tigray are being forcibly starved as a result of highly restricted humanitarian access by @AbiyAhmedAli as he continues to enact violence in the region. Is this of no importance to the Australian government? @ScottMorrisonMP #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

5. Australian Gov’t. has a responsibility to condemn and prevent acts of genocide as a signatory of the #R2P. Tigray has experienced immense hardship since Ethiopian & Eritrean forces occupied the region @MarisePayne @ScottMorrisonMP @Aust_Parliament #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

6. The international community has watched idly as the #TigrayGenocide progressively worsens. There is still an opportunity to condemn the senseless violence committed by Eritrean and Ethiopian troops. #AusGovActNow @MarisePayn @SenatorWong @andrewjgiles @SenKatyG @AliciaPayneMP

7. .@austrightsco The Ethiopian government is committing atrocities against the Tigrayan people. The Australian government has refused to take a public stance and condemn these acts of violence. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @SenatorWong @lidia_thorpe @MarkMcGowanMP

8. The Ethiopian Gov’t. has enlisted foreign Eritrean forces to commit mass atrocities in Tigray. The Intl. community has failed to intervene & allowed for violence to escalate. #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow @BehrouzBoochani  @chescaleigh @Malala @RuthCoppingerSP @GerrySimpsonHRW

9. We have a collective responsibility as citizens of any nation to do what is necessary to condemn & prevent acts of genocide. #TigrayCantWait for the International community to recognize that being silent is attune to being compliant.  #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @LibyaLiberty

10. The United Nations, European Union, & the United States have all commented on the ongoing violence in Tigray. Australia inaction in condemning the #TigrayGenocide is wilful complacency. #AusGovActNow @ClareDalyMEP @ScottMorrisonMP @MarisePayne @DanielAndrewsMP @Aust_Parliamen

11. The Australian government has been so shamefully apathetic & silent about #TigrayGenocide. Tens of thousands of civilians continue to lose their lives & endure the most grotesque acts of sexual violence. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @SenatorWong @inside_canberra

12. #TigrayGenocide has galvanized all the notable powers of the Western world to demand an immediate ceasefire. When is #Australia going to fulfill its obligation, as a member of the global community, to advocate for peace & security abroad? #AusGovActNow @Aust_Parliament

13. #Australians continue to demand that their government employ diplomatic means to condemn #TigrayGenocide & engage with it’s allies to push for immediate ceasefire. Aussies expect more from their state & federal representatives. @MarkMcGowanMP @GladysB @Marshall_stevenn

14. When will #Australia stand up & join the western world in sounding off the alarm about the grave human rights violations in Tigray? #TigrayGenocide  #AusGovActNow @tanya_plibersek @Birmo @TonySmithMP @TonySmithMP @SenatorRyan

15. It has been over 4 months since @dfat was informed that many Australian citizens are trapped in war-torn Tigray, as the Ethiopian government perpetrates #TigrayGenocide. Australia’s complete disregard for the safety of it’s own citizens is appalling #AusGovActNow @DanielAndrewsMP
