Posted on by Eyasu Berhe

#AusGovActNow- 1

1. The Tigrayan community in #Australia requests the government to make a statement regarding the #TigrayGenocide. Tigray needs unhindered independent investigations to uncover the crimes committed by Ethiopian & Eritrean forces. #AusGovActNow & speak out on the atrocities @AlboMP

2. Australian Government must cease funding to Ethiopian projects under the Direct Aid Programs until the Ethiopian Government is held accountable for their actions of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the #TigrayGenocide. #AusGovActNow @MarisePayne @ScottMorrisonMP

3. .@ScottMorrisonMP has not openly condemned the ???????? Government’s actions, under @AbiyAhmedAli administration, in targeting, committing extrajudicial killings & weaponizing starvation & rape on Tigrayans. #AusGovActNow and speak out on #TigrayGenocide! @MarisePayne @AlboMP @Birmo

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

5. Ethiopia has allowed Eritrea into Tigray to commit atrocious crimes. Eritrean troops MUST leave Tigray now! Australia, do not turn a blind eye to this. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP @SenatorWong @andrewjgiles @ALeighMP @GladysB @SenKatyG @lidia__thorpe @ALeighMP

6. .@AlboMP speech on #March4Justice was inspiring. The Australian-Tigray Community demand the Australian Government to hold this view on SGBV in #TigrayGenocide. Tigray needs independent investigations on the crimes committed by ???????? & ???????? forces. #AusGovActNow @AnthonyByrne_MP

7. The Tigray community in Australia demands @MSF to take immediate action and provide medical assistance to Tigray. Lives are being lost as we speak @Aust_Parliament @inside_canberra @SenKatyG @MarkMcGowanMP @GladysB @Marshall_stevenn @AliciaPayneMP #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

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

10. Women’s month but the women of Tigray are dealing with rape, death and trauma. We demand #AusGovActNow and demand for unhindered humanitarian access. @NicoleManison  @AnnastaciaMP @AliciaPayneMP @GladysB @SenKatyG @lidia_thorpe @SenatorWong @MarisePayne #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. The harrowing witness accounts coming out are deeply disturbing. @ALeighMP @inside_canberra @GladysB @Marshall_stevenn #TigrayGenocide https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/03/05/ethiopia-eritrean-forces-massacre-tigray-civilians

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

#AusGovActNow- 2

1. .@MSF reveals that 65% of health resources evaluated by teams were entirely impracticable, 73% had been looted & 20% had been occupied by armed groups, thus inaccessible for civilians in Tigray. @ScottMorrisonMP’s government must take action now! #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow

2. The world has learned of graphic reports due to state-sponsored genocide in Tigray, imposed by Ethiopian Federal Gov’t. & cooperating foreign forces. How long until the Australian government publicly condemns the ongoing lawlessness in Tigray? #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow

3. We are urging the #AusGovActNow to publicly excoriate the ongoing war crimes transpiring in Tigray! @ScottMorrisonMP leaves behind tens of Australian citizens stranded in the Tigray region of Ethiopia with inadequate support. #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @SenatorWong

4. The Morrison Gov’t. should be shamed for failing to castigate the lawlessness arising in #TigrayGenocide. Tens of Australian citizens stranded in Tigray continue to be overlooked by the Morrison government. #AusGovActNow @AlboMP @DanielAndrewsMP @AdamBandt @ellensandell

5. #AusGovActNow tens of thousands have been killed, injured or forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing #TigrayGenocide. @ScottMorrisonMP @MarisePayne we urge you to speak up and demand independent investigations into these war crimes.  @Aust_Parliament @inside_canberra

6. Since Nov 4th 2020, there has been a state sanctioned #TigrayGenocide. ???????? and ???????? troops along with Amhara militia are committing unimaginable atrocities in Tigray. #AusGovActNow, your complacency is complicity! @ScottMorrisonMP @AdamBandt @MarisePayne @MarkMcGowanMP @SenKatyG

7. #TigrayGenocide has severely impacted many proud Australians who have deep roots and cultural connections to Tigray. @ScottMorrisonMP @DanielAndrewsMP @GladysB  we urge you to take a public stance by making a statement condemning the atrocities in Tigray.  #AusGovActNow

8. It has been over 4 months of darkness and terror for the people of Tigray. This includes many Australian citizens stranded in the region due to @dfat’s inaction. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide 

@MarkMcGowanMP @marshall_steven @AliciaPayneMP @DanielAndrewsMP @AnnastaciaMP

9. #AusGovActNow & intervene to help w/ cessation of all hostilities in Tigray by calling for the immediate withdrawal of foreign troops & Amhara militias. Members of the @Aust_Parliament should bravely condemn #TigrayGenocide! @ScottMorrisonMP  @MarisePayne @AdamBandt @GladysB

11. .@MSF The Tigray Community of Australia urges you to provide medical assistance to the innocent victims affected by this genocidal war in Tigray. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @NicoleManison @GladysB

12. .@MSF @savechildrenaus @OxfamAustralia The innocent people of Tigray need immediate medical assistance. Mothers Can’t Wait. Children can’t wait and #TigrayCantWait! #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @NickMckim @ZedSeselja @Aust_Parliament @ALeighMP

13. The Tigray Community of Australia appreciates @MSF recognition of the lack of medical assistance in Tigray. But we NEED ACTION. We urge for unhindered humanitarian access in Tigray #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @DanielAndrewsMP @MarkMcGowanMP @AnnastaciaMP

14. .@austrightsco please don’t stay silent as a genocide occurs in the Tigray region. We demand for humanitarian access, independent investigations & immediate removal of foreign troops. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP @ALeighMP @inside_canberra @SenKatyG @GladysB

15. .@RedCrossAU we urge you to make a public stance & condemn the atrocities made by unelected Ethiopian PM @AbiyAhmedAli & Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki. SILENCE IS COMPLIANCE! SPEAK UP NOW! #AusGovActNow #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @Aust_Parliament

16. Children of Tigray are being starved to death, raped and internally displaced. We urge @savechildrenaus to take immediate action. #AusGovActNow #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @ALeighMP
@inside_canberra @andrewjgiles @lidia_thorpe

18. .@OxfamAustralia fights for injustice but is silent with the genocide in Tigray. We urge for a public stance and condemning atrocities in Tigray. #AusGovActNow #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP @AdamBandt @MarisePayne @SenatorWong

19. The Australian-Tigrayan community encourages @BehrouzBoochani to speak up about the injustices occurring in the Tigray region. Weaponized starvation, rape, looting & killing of innocent civilians is happening right under our nose. SPEAK UP! #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

20. During Women’s History month, the women of Tigray are not celebrating but are facing a genocidal war. @chescaleigh please speak up for the innocent women and children suffering at the hands of dictators. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait

#AusGovActNow- 3

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

#ItalyGunsInTigray – 2

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

12. Stop arming Ethiopia! Arming #Ethiopia makes you complicit in the suffering, hunger, disease and death in Tigray. #TigrayGenocide @antondepierro @Beretta_1526 @luigidimaio @ecdelre @FedDirittiUmani @AIDOS_ong @RetePaceDisarmo #DiMaioActNow

13. You’ll reap what the weapon industry sow. By exporting arms to #Ethiopia you not only support a genocidal war but create a refugee crisis. #TigrayGenocide #DiMaioActNow @FedDirittiUmani @AIDOS_ong @RetePaceDisarmo @SaveUKNews @amnestyitalia @InDifesaDi

14. Hundreds of refugees are entering Italy every day yet African countries like #Ethiopia get its weapons through Italy. Stop this cycle of violence. Stop arms exports to war zones. #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa @luigidimaio @RetePaceDisarmo @ECCHRBerlin

15. Every day, thousands of people are killed, injured or forced to flee their homes because of violence during #WarOnTigray. Ethiopia gets its arms through Italy to conduct #TigrayGenocide.@RheinmetallAG @Leonardo_IT @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa @luigidimaio #DiMaioActNow

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

19. #MyanmarMilitaryCoup We hope the same will not occur in Tigray. While there’s no embargo against Ethiopia, Italy’s law 20G00107 was officialized 3 months before the beginning of #TigrayGenocide. The situation was already very tense! @RetePaceDisarmo https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/italian-ammunition-used-myanmar-police-assault-ambulance-raises-questions.html

20. Help us shed light on LAW 20G00107 & other accords that could be implemented thanks to Art. 12. #Tigray|ans globally, are concerned about potential #ItalyGunsInTigray.

22. #TigrayGenocide In the last 4 months Eritrean troops & Amhara militias perpetrated a gruesome genocidal campaign. They beheaded children & slaughtered pregnant women & elders. TODAY, Girls are being brutally gang-raped & boys are being massacred‼️@FedDirittiUmani @luigidimaio

#ItalyGunsInTigray – 3

1. After cleansing its young men in Eritrea, the same brutal dictatorial regime is now commiting all sorts of atrocities in Tigray, by the invitation of Ethiopia’s government. #TigrayGenocide #ItalyGunsInTigray https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/03/05/ethiopia-eritrean-forces-massacre-tigray-civilians

2. We ask Italian govt. to immediately end weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia – a country producing countless refugees by war on civilians. #ItalyGunsInTigray could contribute to the brutal #TigrayGenocide. @antondepierro https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/02/19/should-have-finished-survivors-ethiopian-army-implicated-brutal/

3. Italy must cancel the weapon sales agreement with dictator @AbiyAhmedAli given serious human rights abuses and ethnic cleansing of Tigray people by the current Ethiopian government. #TigrayGenocide #ItalyGunsInTigray @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/world/middleeast/ethiopia-tigray-ethnic-cleansing.html

4. Italy must suspend export licenses to Ethiopia of any army equipment which might be used for internal repression and ethnic cleansing of Tigray population. #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa @luigidimaio @ecdelre https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56229256

5. Italy must halt arms trade with Ethiopia as several massacres unfold in the northern Tigray region. Stop funding this war. #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide #DisarmTigrayGenocide@MinisteroDifesa @luigidimaio @ecdelre @antondepierro

6. Is the Italian government prepared to be partially responsible for violence against those living in Ethiopia? You must help to #DisarmTigrayGenocide NOT aid it. #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa @luigidimaio @ecdelre

7. Italy has a history of inciting and enacting armed conflict in Ethiopia. Is Italy prepared to allow history repeat itself by selling military equipment to the Ethiopian govt.? #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa @luigidimaio @antondepierro

8. As refugees continue to escape the embattled Tigray region. Italian arms in Ethiopian soil could contribute to the influx of refugees in Italy. #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @luigidimaio @ecdelre @antondepierro

9. The Italian government must end the weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia that was officialized in August 2020. Ethiopia is engaged in a civil war and accused of “systematic ethnic cleansing in Tigray.” #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @luigidimaio
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/world/middleeast/ethiopia-tigray-ethnic-cleansing.html

10. Ethiopia’s war on Tigray has already forced thousands to flee & the number of refugees is expected to rise. If Italy ratifies the weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia, it will be responsible for aiding the #TigrayGenocide. #ItalyGunsInTigray https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/03/08/the-u-n-must-end-the-horrors-of-ethiopias-tigray-war/

11. Ethiopia is no longer a stabilizing force in the Horn of Africa; thus, Italy has the moral and legal obligation to halt the weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia. Stop #ItalyGunsInTigray. The #TigrayGenocide must end! @Beretta_1526 @ECCHRBerlin https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/africasource/the-unintended-consequence-of-ethiopias-civil-war-might-be-a-border-war-with-sudan/

12. Ethiopian govt has been accused of indiscriminately shelling & killing innocent civilians. If ratified, Italy’s weapons agreement with Ethiopia will be used to commit further atrocities. #TigrayGenocide #ItalyGunsInTigray @luigidimaio @MinisteroDifesa https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/02/11/ethiopia-unlawful-shelling-tigray-urban-areas

13. Weapons deals between Western powers & Ethiopia must be terminated starting with the Italian government agreement. Any country that maintains its previous deals with Ethiopia will be responsible for crimes against humanity. #TigrayGenocide #ItalyGunsInTigray @ECCHRBerlin

14. Italy must withdraw any weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia to avoid being complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity in Tigray. #ItalyGunsInTigray must be halted! #TigrayGenocide @Leonardo_IT @Leonardo_live @RheinmetallAG@RetePaceDisarmo https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/02/19/should-have-finished-survivors-ethiopian-army-implicated-brutal/

15. The Italian government’s weapon sales agreement is directly exacerbating the #TigrayGenocide by providing arms to the forces perpetuating ethnic cleansing. As a moral and legal responsibility, the Italian government must end this agreement. #ItalyGunsInTigray @luigidimaio

16. The weapons sold by Italy to Ethiopia are only going to be used for more looting, raping, & killing of innocent civilians. The Italian gov’t must end their bilateral weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia immediately. #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @luigidimaio @Beretta_1526

17. Criterion 2 & 3 of the 2008 Common Position prevent weapons sales to countries who don’t respect human rights & are involved in an internal conflict. Ethiopia meets both criteria, & therefore #ItalyGunsInTigray will be a mistake with consequences. #TigrayGenocide @luigidimaio

18. Italy stopped selling weapons to Saudi Arabia for its role in the conflict in Yemen, & Italy must do the same with Ethiopia for its role in the #TigrayGenocide. Weapons will only exacerbate the humanitarian crisis. #ItalyGunsInTigray is a NO! @luigidimaio @RetePaceDisarmo

19. Revenue from weapon sales is NOT more important than human lives. Italy needs to end its weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia, as the people of Tigray are being looted, raped, & killed with the use of weapons. No to #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @luigidimaio @guerini_lorenzo

20. Tigray: Hundreds of civilians, including altar boys, have been slaughtered by #EritreanTroops during a Christian religious celebration. #DengelatMassacre is just the tip of the iceberg. Why is Italy silent on #TigrayGenocide? @antondepierro @AliceMogwe @FedDirittiUmani @Pontifex

21. Most people received a great gift: the ability to choose. Whoever does not use it, turns it into a curse. Italy do not make #TigrayGenocide your shame. Take a stand & side with the oppressed. Say no to #TigrayGenocide! Cancel the arms deal with @AbiyAhmedAli! #ItalyGunsInTigray

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

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

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

4. Tigrayans do not deserve to be massacred or starved for voting for their leaders. They have a constitutional right to self-determination. Full humanitarian access immediately! #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @Marcisurkes @rpatricktravers @MarcGarneau

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

4. @JustinTrudeau please stand on the right side of history. Demand Eritrean & Ethiopian troops@along with Amhara militia, out of Tigray immediately. Act now! It’s been 4 months. #TigrayGenocide @Marcisurkes @rpatricktravers @Marcgarneau @theJagmeetSingh @erinotoole

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

12. .@ScottMorrisonMP why are you allowing citizens of Australia to sponsor the #TigrayGenocide when their is demonstration of violated laws such as rape, looting, mass killings and restriction of basic needs in the region of #Tigray?! @MarisePayne @DanielAndrewsMP #AusGovActNow

13. Australia should be speaking for the VOICELESS in regards to the ongoing #TigrayGenocide. It’s been over 127 DAYS since our people have been denied their human rights. Our nation MUST stand against this barbaric execution upon the innocent civilians. #AusGovActNow @SenatorWong

2. Over 4 months since the #Ethiopia|n government has waged a genocidal war against the people of #Tigray. Many of our own #Aussies are stuck in this catastrophe. @ScottMorrisonMP must not only condemn these atrocities but bring our loved ones back home. #AusGovActNow @SenatorAbetz

5. We urge the #Australia|n government to condemn the acts of Ethiopian unelected @AbiyAhmedAli & Eritrean President #IsaiasAfwerki. These dictators have waged a war on Tigray for exercising their right to vote. @ScottMorrisonMP MUST TAKE ACTION #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

6. The right to vote is a human right within Australia. The people of Tigray are currently facing a genocidal war for simply exercising that very right. We urge ALL members of Parliament to take serious measures & condemn these acts. @ScottMorrisonMP #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide

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

9. How can Australia stay silent on the genocidal acts being placed on #Tigray|ans? #AusGovActNow and be on the right side of history. #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP @Birmo @TonySmithMP @SenatorRyan @JoshFrydenberg @AlexHawkeMP @NickMckim @MarisePayne @GladysB

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

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

9. When the atrocities of #TigrayGenocide are over, & the history books remember this potential monumental failure of international diplomacy – what role will #Australia have played in addressing the genocide & sexual violence in Tigray? #AUSGovActNow @SenatorWong @ScottMorrisonMP

10. “A devastating & genocidal war was waged against the people of Tigray because they firmly fought for their right to self-determination and they held a democratic election,” he said. #AusGovActNow  #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP @MarisePayne @ZedSeselja

11. Human rights & aid agencies report widespread damage & looting of homes, businesses, hospitals and food stores, as well as the killings of innocent civilians. #AusGovActNow and protect the 4.5 million people in #Tigray at risk of starvation. #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP

12. .@UN reported on serious allegations of sexual violence in the #TigrayGenocide, including a high number of alleged rapes in the capital, Mekelle. #AusGovActNow and stop the sexual and gender based violence! @AdamBandt @ScottMorrisonMP @MarisePayne @pmc_gov_au

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
