#TigrayMassArrests Pt. 1

The world must know about #TigrayMassArrests. @antonioguterres @DicarloRosemary @mbachelet @hrwhttps://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/11/ethiopia-sweeping-emergency-powers-and-alarming-rise-in-online-hate-speech-as-tigray-conflict-escalates/

#COIforTigray Pt. 1

1. Tigrayans immediately raised concerns about @EthioHRC’s involvement in the joint investigation because of its record of partiality and demonstrated bias against Tigrayan victims of atrocities. @MSZ_RP @PresidenceGA @ForeignMalawi @jaarreaza #COIforTigray https://apnews.com/article/africa-united-nations-kenya-ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-ccf2665d453f6af0d08e3bdf8db81b96

2. “What you need when you go into an atrocity zone is a clean slate so outside investigators can look into it neutrally.”@EthioHRC is NOT a neutral investigator as it has worked to protect the genocidal Abiy regime. @UNReliefChief @hickspeggy #COIforTigrayhttps://apnews.com/article/africa-united-nations-kenya-ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-ccf2665d453f6af0d08e3bdf8db81b96

3.

#COIforTigray Pt. 3

1. “The soldiers picked 12 young deacons between the ages of 15 and 20. They took them out & shot them down.” How can we rely on @DanielBekele to report on #TigrayGenocide when he leaves out critical information? #COIforTigray @AraratMirzoyan @NikosDendias https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/least-78-priests-massacred-one-zone-tigray-leaked-letter-claims/

3. Allowing a govt that’s accused of genocide to investigate itself will naturally make this investigation bias & lack truth. For a truly credible investigation, Ethiopia must not be involved! #COIforTigray @USAmbUN @TebbouneAmadjid @FEGnassingbe @UN_CAR https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/11/2/ethiopia-tried-to-limit-rare-un-probe-on-tigray-abuses-report

5. Ethiopia’s continued denial of what witnesses, survivors & video evidence shows to be crimes against humanity committed by Ethiopian & Eritrean troops, makes @EthioHRC unfit to take part in investigations.#COIforTigray @ignaziocassis @BarrowPresidenthttps://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/ethiopia-limit-rare-report-tigray-war-abuses-80918805

6. .@EthioHRC led by @DanielBekele has zero credibility to investigate #TigrayGenocide.

7. A joint investigation with @EthioHRC is fraudulent as it failed to include widely reported #AxumMassacre and #DengelatMassacre. Tigrayan refugees in Sudan were also left out. #COIforTigray @Sophie_Wilmes @ItalyMFA @MFASerbia @KellyTClements @FilippoGrandi https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2021-09-13/un-probe-in-ethiopias-tigray-didnt-reach-axum-massacre

8. .@EthioHRC has downplayed war crimes committed in Tigray including the dire humanitarian crisis, by selectively highlighting cases that purely serve the Ethiopian govt’s narrative. #COIforTigray @MAERomania @AnzeLog @DmytroKuleba @RauZbigniew @MFABulgaria https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/02/report-on-tigray-civil-war-to-be-released-amid-objectivity-concerns

9. .@EthioHRC is used as a tool to protect @PMEthiopia from Int’l pressure after reports of his war crimes surface. EHRC also fails to conduct timely investigations, usually waiting until after the world finds out. We need #COIforTigray! @PaulKagame @UN_HRChttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/02/report-on-tigray-civil-war-to-be-released-amid-objectivity-concerns

10. .@EthioHRC is one of the state-funded Ethiopian institutions weaponized against Tigrayans during this year of #TigrayGenocide.

#COIforTigray Pt. 4

1. Excluding major massacres committed by Amhara militias + Ethiopian and Eritrean troops undermines the truth of the systematic effort by the Ethiopian regime to erase the ethnicities of Tigray. #COIforTigray @GLandsbergis @MFA_Lu @EvaristBartolo @EUatUNhttps://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2021-09-13/un-probe-in-ethiopias-tigray-didnt-reach-axum-massacre

2. The truth about #TigrayGenocide must be revealed and it cannot be done by state-funded @EthioHRC. Tigray deserves justice, not ongoing coverups by Abiy Ahmed & his regime. #COIforTigray @NorwayMFA @mfa_russia@RauZbigniew @nestrangeiro_pt @nicupopescuhttps://twitter.com/Tigrayact/status/1436361821796159503/video/1

3. Speaking to the govt accused of genocide, @DanielBekele said “It is comforting to learn that the operation didn’t result in as severe consequences as it was originally feared.” EHRC covered-up since the start. #COIforTigray @ebphilipp @ItalyMFA @AnzeLog https://twitter.com/mfaethiopia/status/1346942309015846918?s=20

4. The ultimate mockery of the plight of the millions of victims in #TigrayGenocide would be to ignore that the same govt that has looted, burned, raided, maimed, & killed would now like to conduct a thorough + unbiased probe of their own crimes. #COIforTigray @UN_HRC @mbachelet

5. “They took an ax to my head. They hit me 3 times, and I fell. Look at my ear. They cut it with a knife.” @EthioHRC’s Daniel Bekele did an injustice to Tigrayans by hiding the truth at start of #TigrayGenocide. We need #COIforTigray. @SecBlinken @USUN https://tghat.com/2021/03/03/survivors-recount-the-mai-kadra-massacre/

6. Funded & appointed by the Ethiopian govt, @EthioHRC can never be impartial in investigating Ethiopia’s war crimes & crimes against humanity. Tigray needs a @UN-only led investigation. @JY_LeDrian @grlicradman @GeneralNeva @PaulKagame #COIforTigrayhttps://tinyurl.com/ytbamnb8

7. Possible war crimes & crimes against humanity were committed during the Axum & Dengelat massacres. But the joint @UNHumanRights & @EthioHRC probe didn’t cover these and many other massacre sites. @LAZARUSCHAKWERA @GoitaAssimi@HHichilema #COIforTigrayhttps://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/press-release/2021/02/ethiopia-eritrean-troops-massacre-of-hundreds-of-axum-civilians-may-amount-to-crime-against-humanity/

8. After losing loved ones to senseless systematic massacres, rape & famine, we Tigrayans demand @mbachelet to give us one good reason why she felt the need to include govt sponsored @EthioHRC in investigating their own crimes. #COIforTigray@UNReliefChief https://tinyurl.com/ytbamnb8

9. .@EthioHRC’s @DanielBekele of Amhara origin, hand picked by @AbiyAhmedAli, notoriously known for his hate against Tigrayan leaders & known for downplaying crimes by Ethiopian leaders is neither independent nor unbiased to investigate #TigrayGenocide. #COIforTigray @StateDept

10. It’s unheard of for a perpetrator to be involved in the investigation of their own crimes. Ethiopia is guilty of Genocide. The govt should’ve never been considered for a joint investigation with @UNHumanRights.@RaoufMazou @GillianTriggs #COIforTigrayhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/03/04/europe/ethiopia-tigray-un-independent-probe-war-crimes-intl/index.html

#COIforTigray Pt. 5 Spanish

1. Tras graves violaciones del derecho internacional como crímenes de guerra y de la humanidad fueron cometido por parte de Etiopía, el mismo @EthioHRC patrocinado por Etiopía fue parte de la investigación de dichas crímenes. #COIforTigray @SantiagoCafiero https://tinyurl.com/25j5ee5z

2. .@InternatiAmnest concluyó en su investigación que la masacre de centenares de civiles perpetrada por tropas eritreas en Axum a finales de 2020 constituye un posible crimen de lesa humanidad. Tigray necesita independiente @pedro_arbulu #COIforTigray https://tinyurl.com/25j5ee5z

3. .@mbachelet permitio @EthioHRC afilado con Etiopia que fuera parte de la investigacion a pesar de la necesidad de una investigacion independiente y imparcial Tigray nesecita una investigacion independient. @ONU_es #COIforTigray @SRE_mx@MexOnu @MAECgob https://tinyurl.com/25j5ee5z

4. La verdad sobre el #TigrayGenocide debe ser revelada y no puede ser hecha por el @EthioHRC financiado por el Estado. Tigray merece justicia, no encubrimientos continuos por parte de @AbiyAhmedAli y su régimen. #COIforTigray @MAECgob @MRE_Bolivia @SRE_mx https://twitter.com/Tigrayact/status/1436361821796159503/video/1

5. Fuerzas de ????????, Amhara y tropas eritreas se juntaros para cometer masacres sistemáticas, VS y destrucción y saqueo de infraestructura contra los Tigrayanos. Tigray necesita una investigación independiente sin @EthioHRC #COIforTigray @JosepBorrellF @SRE_mxhttps://tinyurl.com/pdk2rx6c

6. Después de perder nuestras familias por masacres VS y hambruna,los Tigrayanos exigimos a @mbachelet que nos dé una razón por la que sintió la necesidad de incluir al @EthioHRC patrocinado por el gobierno en la investigación de sus propios crímenes.#COIforTigray @SRE_mx @ONU_es

7. El @EthioHRC dirigido por @DanielBekele tiene credibilidad nula para investigar el #TigrayGenocidio. A principios de año afirmó que “la operación no tuvo consecuencias tan graves como se temía en un principio.” #COIforTigray @SpainMFA @SantiagoCafiero https://twitter.com/mfaethiopia/status/1346942309015846918?s=21

8. .@EthioHRC ha restado importancia a los crímenes de guerra cometidos en Tigray, incluyendo la grave crisis humanitaria, al destacar selectivamente los casos que sirven puramente a la narrativa de la cabra etíope. #COIforTigray @MexOnu @MAECgob @SRE_mx https://tinyurl.com/3ttyk5s9

9. “El gobierno???????? dio la vuelta a la historia. Las personas masacradas en Mai Kadra eran Tigrayanos. Esto no es lo que alguien me dijo. Yo lo vi”. ¿Cómo podemos confiar en @EthioHRC cuando @DanielBekele omitió esto previamente? #COIforTigray @SpainUN @SRE_mx https://tinyurl.com/46jdracy

10. “Lo que se necesita cuando se entra en una zona de atrocidades es un borrón y cuenta nueva para que los investigadores externos puedan examinarla de forma neutral, desapasionada.”Involucrar a @EthioHRC resta la credibilidad. @SRE_mx @MAECgob #COIforTigray https://tinyurl.com/3ttyk5s9
