War Crimes – February 20, 2021

1. As of Feb. 14th, over 61,200 refugees have crossed into Sudan from #Tigray. This heavy influx of ppl fleeing war & genocide have testimonies of war crimes against humanity committed by @AbiyAhmedAli’s government. #TigrayGenocide #StopWarOnTigray @hrw https://reliefweb.int/report/ethiopia/unhcr-regional-update-11-ethiopia-situation-tigray-region-1-14-february

2. Tigrayan opposition parties have reported over 52000 civilian deaths contradicting @AbiyAhmedAli comment that no civilian lives have been lost. International communities @IntlCrimCourt must release a public rebuke of state sponsored violence & demand a ceasefire. #TigrayGenocide

3. There is a secret genocide that is threatening millions of lives in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. We are calling our allies to raise awareness to the heinous war crimes that are being committed.#TigrayGenocide @Alyssa_Milano @violadavis @ladygaga@rihanna @aliciakeys

4. Please use your voice to speak out for a people who have been robbed of theirs. Currently, there is a genocide occurring in Tigray, carried out by the Ethiopian government. #TigrayGenocide @oprah @Alyssa_Milano @violadavis @ladygaga @rihanna @aliciakeys @salmahayek @heidiklum

5. Have you heard about the #TigrayGenocide? Over 800 worshippers seeking refuge were savagely massacred in the holy city of Axum, Ethiopia. We are asking for your prayers over the people of Tigray.@PB_Curry @BishopJakes @AbyssinianBC @DeVonFranklin https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ethiopia-massacre-church_n_602ef20bc5b66da5dba02b2b

6. #PressFreedom is being threatened by @AbiyAhmedAli. He is strategically hiding a war by jailing journalists, imposing a communication blackout, denying ind. media, & limiting access to aid workers. #TigrayGenocide @pressfreedom @EU_Commission @UNESCO https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/16/ethiopias-tigray-conflict-and-the-battle-to-control-information

7. In Ethiopia, journalism is a crime especially if you report #WarOnTigray. “Unfolding humanitarian crisis is extremely difficult” with communication blackout. #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray @hrw @pressfreedom @amnesty @UNHumanRights @euronewshttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/16/ethiopias-tigray-conflict-and-the-battle-to-control-information

8. The aim of #IMF funds is to promote economic growth, financial stability, and reduce poverty in countries but NOT to fund an active #TigrayGenocide.@ShaolinyangWBG@carmenmreinhart @Mari_Pangestu@SandieOkoro @AntonellaBassa3 @jorgedajani@HafezGhanem_WB

9. It is clear that @WorldBank should NOT take part in #TigrayGenocide by funding the Ethiopian government. @ShaolinyangWBG@carmenmreinhart @Mari_Pangestu @SandieOkoro @AntonellaBassa3 @jorgedajani @HafezGhanem_WB

10. Why would #IMF @WorldBank give money to a government that’s killing its own people?@DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WB @kanshul@ShaolinyangWBG @Mari_Pangestu @carmenmreinhart@SandieOkoro @HafezGhanem_WB @Diop_WB @JingdongHua


1. A doctor and a member of a women rights group in #Tigray stated: “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. #TigrayGenocide @UN https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-55832711

2. “The war (on #Tigray) has been horrific: mass killings, rapes, comprehensive looting of towns and villages, burning crops and fields, mass displacement.” The #Ethiopia|n government is failing to protect its citizens. The @UN must act. #TigrayGenocide https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/ireland-must-speak-up-for-the-starving-in-tigray-1.4484581

3. Since Nov. 2020 at least 50,000 #Tigray|ans have reportedly been killed, #WeaponizedRape has escalated, largest hydropower plant in Tigray destroyed, emergency aid is blocked, & independent media denied. This is a genocide. #TigrayGenocide @GCR2P @hrw https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-55905108

4. Rape is used as a weapon of extermination in war. In Yugoslavia, it was used as a form of ethnic cleansing. In Rwanda, a form of genocide. Today we are witnessing these methods used in the #TigrayGenoicde #UNSC must INTERVENE! @PmTunisia @KenyaMissionUN @Niger_ONU

5. Women & girls in #Tigray are being raped in masses so horrifically to the point of becoming seriously injured. Some are being sexually enslaved for weeks by both Eritrean & Ethiopian troops. It’s critical that #UNSC steps in now! @UN_Women @AmbMKimani https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-02-11/troops-accused-of-mass-rape-in-ethiopias-tigray-conflict

6. Int’l calls to withdrawal Eritrean troops from Tigray are ignored by @AbiyAhmedAli. His failure in leading endangers millions of people in Tigray. More must be done to remove all troops. #TigrayGenocide@Chinamission2un @IndiaUNNewYork @irishmissionun https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/eye-on-africa/20210209-eu-calls-for-withdrawal-of-eritrean-troops-from-tigray

7. The rippling effect of #SGBV by ???????? & ???????? troops in Tigray will be devastating. The lack of medical facilities, rape kits and HIV medication means that people that urgently need medical attention will not be getting it. #TigrayGenocide @UN_Women https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/ethiopia-confirms-rapes-without-a-doubt-in-tigray-conflict/2021/02/12/cae89684-6d2c-11eb-a66e-e27046e9e898_story.html

8. Every call to allow help to citizens of Tigray is ignored by @AbiyAhmedAli as he lost sovereignty over Ethiopia’s territory. Invading Eritrean troops created an atmosphere of “complete vengefulness”. #TigrayGenocide Will #UNSC ACT? @AmbMKimani @hrw https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/un-ethiopia-may-not-have-control-of-a-large-part-of-tigray/2021/02/04/8f693356-66f2-11eb-bab8-707f8769d785_story.html

7. Almost 4 months of mass death, #WeaponizedRape & destruction of infrastructures. Tigrayans are facing extermination. Int’l. leaders must intervene before they regret the impact the #TigrayGenocide has taken.Please learn from the Rwanda Genocide. @AmbMKimani @PmTunisia @Niger_ONU

7. The #WarOnTigray was internationalized from get-go with #Eritrea’s involvement. #UAE’s #drones took the war to another level of regional conflict, according to Mulugeta Gebrehiwot. #UNSCActNow & stop #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray @LindaT_G @POTUShttps://sites.tufts.edu/reinventingpeace/files/2021/01/Special-Ep.-Mulugeta-1-27-2021.mp3

14. Today marks 93 days since #AbiyAhmed declared war on #Tigray with the help of his partner – the Eritrean dictator. The massacre, rape, destruction & looting continue unabated. Time for #UNSC to take action. #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray@LindaT_G @POTUS @SecBlinken @VP

15. @UNPeacekeeping has the mandate to protect civilians & have the responsibility to provide protection within their capabilities & areas of deployment where the gov is unable or unwilling to protect; #UNSC must ensure protection of civilians. #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray

16. The unelected & genocidal @PMEthiopia threatened #Tigray even before war broke out with budget cuts because the people demanded he sets a date for elections. #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray@SecBlinken & #UNSC, please put an end to this nightmare@UN @LindaT_G @EstoniaUN
