#TigrayGenocide – 2

#TigrayGenocide – 3

#TigrayGenocide – 4

#TigrayGenocide – 1

1. Rape & sexual violence is rife at the hands of invading forces. They are weaponizing sexual violence. It’s used as an additional tool to pronounce the occupational territory. The reports are alarming & speak to the war crimes occurring in Tigray. #TigrayGenocide @PreetKGillMP

2. “Claim to be Amhara & we’ll give you back your house & find you a husband. But if you claim to be #Tigray|an, we will come & rape you again.” #Tigray|ans are being punished for their identity. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @CarolineLucas @EmilyThornberry https://apnews.com/article/world-news-sudan-ethiopia-only-on-ap-842741eebf9bf0984946619c0fc15023

3. “…they’ve come there to cleanse the blood line, “ a Doctor explains the ethnic cleansing & weaponized rape campaign against women & girls in Tigray. @BWoodward_UN @NataliePalmerUK @UNWomenUK #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

4. “Rape is being used to humiliate, shame, destroy dignity & shatter the souls of #Tigray|an women.” #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @DominicRaab @jmsroscoe @helenhayes_ @AnnelieseDodds @lisanandy https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ethiopia-tigray-news-executions-rape-war-atrocities-genocide/

5. Sexual violence is being used to pursue political & military goals. “They are deliberately & systematically organized, targeted, ethnically based, & they are intended to terrorize, humiliate & brutalize.” #TigrayGenocide @UNWomen @MarshadeCordova https://www.aa.com.tr/en/africa/un-rape-used-for-political-military-goals-in-tigray/2222518

6. The majority of sexual violence survivors are unable to access the medical and psychosocial support they need as a result of the barely functional healthcare system in Tigray. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @MattJacksonUK @AmbassadorAllen

7. A young mother was taken off a minibus by soldiers & repeatedly raped by 23 soldiers for 11 days. They forced nails & rocks into her vagina. She is amongst thousands that’ve been subjected to horrific sexual violence. #TigrayCantWait @BWoodward_UN https://www.reuters.com/world/special-report-health-official-alleges-sexual-slavery-tigray-women-blame-2021-04-15/

8. Women and girls are facing the brunt of the conflict in Tigray. Sexual violence in times of conflict serves to use the bodies of women as an extension of the battlefield. Rape is a war crime & must be condemned. #TigrayGenocide @TomWoodroffeUK https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/21/a-tigrayan-womb-should-never-give-birth-rape-in-ethiopia-tigray

9. The @UN warned that sexual violence is being used as a weapon of war in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. Women have been the target of systematic rape and sexual violence at the hands of invading forces. #TigrayGenocide @MarshadeCordova @AnnelieseDoddshttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/21/a-tigrayan-womb-should-never-give-birth-rape-in-ethiopia-tigray

10. Over 180 days of ethnic cleansing, weaponized starvation & weaponized rape. It’s long overdue for the @EU_Commission to move forward with sanctions on Ethiopia. @EUDiplomacy #EUActNow @JosepBorrellF @JanezLenarcic #TigrayGenocide https://euobserver.com/foreign/151189

#TigrayGenocide – 2

.@JanezLenarcic you spoke of “the possibility to introduce sanctions against individuals/entities, which are responsible for grave violations of international humanitarian law.” Now we urge you to put action to your words. #TigrayCantWait #EUActNowhttps://euobserver.com/foreign/151189

2. With seemingly no end in sight to the countless atrocities that #Tigray|ans are facing, the @UN must take measurable actions as soon as possible. @TomWoodroffeUK @BWoodward_UN @NataliePalmerUK @jmsroscoe @MattJacksonUK @AmbassadorAllen #TigrayCantwait #TigrayCantWait #UNSCActNow

3. .@BBCAfrica reported on graphic video of Ethiopian forces extrajudicially killing civilians and then throwing the bodies off a cliff. We urge the @UN to lead an independent investigation into the many massacres that have been reported. #TigrayCantWait https://twitter.com/BBCAfrica/status/1377906761320046592?s=19

4. .@EU_Commission how long before you begin to put an end to extrajudicial killings of #Tigray|an civilians? Your PR statements of “deep concerns” are meaningless without practical actions being taken thereafter. #TigrayCantWait #EUActNow @JosepBorrellF https://twitter.com/cnni/status/1377762938929446917?s=19

5. “…France did not do enough to halt the 1994 [#Rwanda] killings.” @EmmanuelMacron will you take the chance to spot history repeating itself and take proper action? PLEASE do not just standby and do nothing. #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait #EUActNow https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/26/france-was-not-complicit-in-rwandan-genocide-macron-commission-claims

6. .@EmmanuelMacron please do more to help our efforts to end the genocide against the people of Tigray. #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-europe-56536659

7. Tigray needs support from the world. Innocent people are dying. The current reality is, the Ethiopian govt. is using rape & hunger as weapons of war. Please help us amplify the voices of those suffering in the dark. #TigrayCantWait @lisanandy @EUatUN https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

8. For over 6 months now, there’s growing evidence of mass killings in Tigray & sexual violence towards women & girls. @UKParliament needs to take action and secure peace & the safety of #Tigray|ans. #TigrayGenocide @JamesDuddridge @DominicRaab @FCDOGovUK @tariqahmadbt @lisanandy

9. .@USAID official stated approx. “950,000 to 1.25 million people are inaccessible to humanitarians”. This man-made famine committed by @AbiyAhmedAli & #IsaiasAfwerki is resulting in millions starving in Tigray. #TigrayGenocide @AngelaRayner @Keir_Starmer https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/30/politics/usaid-tigray-dart/index.html

10. Despite promising to leave Tigray, Eritrean troops continue to “block[ing] & looting food aid” as well as committing mass-killings alongside Ethiopian forces. @UKParliament must demand confirmed withdrawal of foreign forces. #TigrayGenocide @DominicRaab https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210427-eritrean-troops-block-loot-food-aid-in-tigray-documents

#TigrayGenocide – 3

1. Approx. 70% “of hospitals & health centers have…been partially or fully damaged”. This is a war crime amongst many! Until the Intl. community acts now & ensures withdrawal of invading forces. many will cont. to suffer. #TigrayGenocide @FCDOGovUK @UNDP https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/ethiopia-tigray-women-rape-sexual-exploitation-b1841368.html

2. .@SarahChampionMP – “…the UK must take urgent action..it is our moral duty to help find a solution and an end to the misery and fear.” @FCDOGovUK @DominicRaab along with @UKParliament must take action & uphold their moral responsibility #TigrayGenocide https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/apr/30/ending-tigray-conflict-ethiopia-will-test-uks-claim-to-be-force-for-good

3. As the genocidal war continues, war crimes mount up with “widespread reports of rape, massacres and attacks on health facilities”. When will it be enough to take concrete action to end #TigrayGenocide? @DavidLammy @JohnHealey_MP @UKMissionGeneva https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/apr/30/ending-tigray-conflict-ethiopia-will-test-uks-claim-to-be-force-for-good

4. As @SarahChampionMP said “The FCDO must do everything in its power to ensure humanitarian access, & bring sanctions against those who try to obstruct delivery of vital food, water, healthcare & shelter,” @FCDOGovUK – when will you act? #TigrayGenocide https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/apr/30/ending-tigray-conflict-ethiopia-will-test-uks-claim-to-be-force-for-good

5. Concerns without actions are the reason that “six months into Ethiopia’s ‘dirty’ Tigray conflict, there’s still no end in sight.” @UKParliament @FCDOGovUK @DominicRaab what will you do now to ensure the suffering in #TigrayGenocide comes to an urgent end?https://www.sbs.com.au/news/six-months-into-ethiopia-s-dirty-tigray-conflict-there-s-still-no-end-in-sight

6. Many reports of “Both men & women recounted multiple stories of rape. One woman told me: ‘…five or more troops would rape each woman. Some of them were left for dead.’ Take action against weaponized rape! #TigrayGenocide @UNWomenUK @UNDP https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/ethiopia-tigray-women-rape-sexual-exploitation-b1841368.html

7. Ethiopian federal forces fired artillery into Tigray’s urban areas in an indiscriminate manner that was bound to cause civilian casualties & property damage. These attacks have shattered civilian lives & displaced thousands.” #TigrayGenocide @FCDOGovUK https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/02/11/ethiopia-unlawful-shelling-tigray-urban-areas

8. 36 years ago, media attention & the ensuing public outcry helped ease the suffering of famine victims in Tigray. At the moment, millions are on the brink of starving to death. Many have already died. #TigrayGenocide @tariqahmadbt @trussliz @helenhayes_ https://www.wfpusa.org/news-release/wfp-seeks-170m-for-food-in-ethiopia-tigray/

9. If Intl. leaders continue to let #TigrayGenocide happen; the massacres, weaponized rape & starvation will continue. It’s time to intervene and back words with solid action. @UKParliament @NickTorfaen @RachelReevesMP @DavidLammy @MattJacksonUK @UNDP https://www.tghat.com/2021/05/03/massacre-in-the-church-of-medhanie-alem-guetelo-on-the-parishs-most-important-day-of-the-year-the-festival-of-jesus-the-savior-of-guetolo/

10. Of the 106 facilities assessed in Tigray, 87% were no longer functioning or fully functioning. Looting of facilities is widespread & the once well-functioning healthcare system has almost completely collapsed. #EUActNow #TigrayGenocide @FCDOGovUK https://www.msf.org/ethiopia-tigray-crisis-update

#TigrayGenocide – 4

In one account of Eritrean troops blocking civilian food aid, soldiers forced aid workers out of multiple parts of Tigray, including Samre & Gijet towns & looted the supplies. #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @FCDOGovUK @JohnHealey_MP @NickTorfaen https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210427-eritrean-troops-block-loot-food-aid-in-tigray-documents?ref=tw

2. .@AbiyAhmedAli acknowledged that he has locked high-level Tigrayan military officials, but detentions are far more sweeping in scope & more arbitrary; ethnic profiling extending even to priests & office workers. #TigrayGenocide @EUatUN @EU_Commission https://apnews.com/article/africa-ethiopia-race-and-ethnicity-health-coronavirus-5f22a5aea128cbd659fbf4f810aac973?fbclid=IwAR10RcVyHq29keixGKgEiamGvTLp1T4_WZJ0N3Y8MV-cKrBxCOyKj3wJmvQ

3. Rocks, nails & other objects have been forced inside the bodies of women. Men have been forced to rape family members under threat of violence. This is unacceptable.

4. “..residents said pro-TPLF fighters had fled the area long before pro-government soldiers arrived.

5. “because of the information blackout in Tigray, the [Mai Kadra] @amnesty report dominated the initial narrative of the war. It had the unintended consequence of legitimizing @AbiyAhmedAli’s ethnic cleansing in Tigray..” #TigrayGenocide @MattJacksonUK http://bostonreview.net/global-justice/alex-de-waal-we-can-no-longer-deny-atrocities-ethiopia

6. “The mass detentions & house arrests are an extension of the war in the Tigray region marked by massacres, gang rapes, expulsions & forced starvation, which witnesses call a systematic effort to destroy the Tigrayan minority.” #TigrayGenocide @trusslizhttps://apnews.com/article/africa-ethiopia-race-and-ethnicity-health-coronavirus-5f22a5aea128cbd659fbf4f810aac973?utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=AP

7. “there is no doubt that sexual violence is being used in this conflict as a weapon of war, as a means to humiliate, terrorize, and traumatize an entire population today & into the next generation.” What will you do now? @EU_Commission #TigrayGenocide https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/27/in-tigray-sexual-violence-has-become-a-weapon-of-war/

8. In Tigray 78% of health services are non-functional or partially functional as a result of #TigrayGenocide.1% of health services are offering comprehensive Clinical Management of Rape (CMR) services. UK & @UN Act now! @JamesDuddridge #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait

9. Rocks, nails & other objects have been forced inside the bodies of women by invading soldiers. As if being gang raped wasn’t enough. These war crimes are barbaric & Intl. leaders must intervene! #TigrayGenocide @IntlCrimCourt @KarimKhanQC @endrapeinwar https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/01/world/africa/ethiopia-tigray-sexual-assault.html?s=04#click=https://t.co/r3GuULpXiC

Petition to the Parliament of Australian – #AusGovActNow

Posted on April 25, 2021 by Eyasu Berhe

November 4th 2020 is a date of much grief and trauma to the Tigrayan people. It is on this day that the unelected Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali waged a genocidal war against the people of Tigray. Since then Ethiopian National Defence Force, Eritrean Defence Forces and the Amhara regional militia have conducted civilian massacres, extra judicial executions, indiscriminate shelling and acts of horrific sexual violence resulting in the displacement of 2.2 million Tigrayans. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 91% of Tigrayans are in need of urgent food assistance as a direct result of the weaponization of food. Whilst the $3 million Australia has pledged to provide the World Food Programme is much appreciated, there is more that needs to be done.

#TigrayCantWait – 5

Immediately and verifiably remove the Amhara militias and Eritrean troops from all of Tigray. The women and girls of the region will not be safe until the genocidal invaders are excised. #TigrayCantWait @UNHumanRights @UAEMissionToUN @WomenDeliver https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

2. Ethiopian and Eritrean troops are using #SGBV against Tigrayans to undermine individuals, families, communities, and the entire cultural group. It is an insidious avenue of #TigrayGenocide. Demand @UN-led independent investigations. @mbachelet @GBVAoR1 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-conflict-un-idUSKBN2BH2ZC

3. On top of the initial damage of the #SGBV that Tigrayan women and girls have survived, they must confront their attackers day in and day out and relive their trauma. How can they heal, how can the region heal if it is still under siege? #TigrayCantWait @OCHA_Ethiopia @UNICEF

4. “There she was kept for eleven days, during which time she was raped repeatedly by 23 men. A group of Eritrean soldiers came to the hospital with the intention of killing the victim.” Weaponized rape must stop.@mbachelet @franceonu#TigrayCantWait https://observers.france24.com/en/africa/20210419-video-shows-the-horror-of-rape-as-weapon-of-war-in-ethiopia-s-tigray-region

5. “There is no doubt that sexual violence is being used in this conflict as a weapon of war,” @UNReliefChief said, adding the majority of rapes were committed by men in uniformThis should outrage us all! End #SGBV #TigrayCantWait@SAMissionNY @FinlandUNhttps://www.reuters.com/article/ethiopia-conflict-rape-un-idAFL1N2M82B6

6. “Many people believe that it is now genocidal, that what is a political intent to destroy is becoming now an intent to destroy, in whole or part, a people,” says Elbagir.End #SGBV. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @ItalyUN_NY @CanadaUN @RepMalinowskihttps://www.democracynow.org/2021/4/5/ethiopia_tigray_region_conflict_sexual_violence

7. “We don’t know where to go, all places are like fire.

8. Women are the most affected group in this war. Rape is deliberately being used as a weapon of war.

10. Condemning war crimes in Tigray in the vaguest terms possible, but not taking concrete actions is like a bottomless pit. “The youngest rape victim was 4 years old, the oldest was 89.” #TigrayCantWait @ChimamandaReal @ChrisCoons @tyrabanks @EU_Commission https://observers.france24.com/en/africa/20210419-video-shows-the-horror-of-rape-as-weapon-of-war-in-ethiopia-s-tigray-region

12. Mounting reports about rape being used as a weapon of war. Yet, for 170 days you’re postponing the problem instead of solving it. Women are continuously being raped because of your inactions. #TigrayCantWait @EU_Commission @mbachelet @StateDept https://observers.france24.com/en/africa/20210419-video-shows-the-horror-of-rape-as-weapon-of-war-in-ethiopia-s-tigray-region

World Bank- 1

The @WorldBank should not even consider privatization of @ethiotelecom. Bids that could bring revenue into the hands of a war criminal such as @AbiyAhmedAli should be examined closely. His values are not rooted into the WB mission. @DavidMalpassWBG@KGeorgieva #TigrayGenocide

2. Ethiopia is guilty of ethnic cleansing & has one of the current worst humanitarian crisis in the world. @WorldBank, shame on your role in privatization of @ethiotelecom knowing that it will put money into the hands of war criminals like @AbiyAhmedAli. https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

4. @WorldBank must stay away from the privatization of @ethiotelecom. This is a grave mistake with consequences. Profits gained have the potential to fund a war. As leaders, are you choosing to play a role in the #TigrayGenocide?@KGeorgieva @SecYellen https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

5. Privatizing @ethiotelecom has the potential to increase investment capital by attracting foreign investment & raising revenue for the government. This revenue could indirectly fund the #TigrayGenocide. @WorldBank, do you due diligence. @carmenmreinhart https://www.theafricareport.com/39864/ethiopia-the-case-for-partial-privatization-of-ethio-telecom/

6. The @WorldBank has plans to invest $200 million in the Ethiopia’s digital economy. The global community is very concerned that profits from privatizations will indirectly support the #TigrayGenocide. Your attention to this matter is needed. @SecYellen https://blogs.worldbank.org/africacan/why-ethiopia-needs-open-its-telecom-market

7. @WorldBank & @DFCgov must refrain from participating in the privatization of @ethiotelecom. It is negligent to approve this. Any profit gained has a massive potential to fund #TigrayGenocide. Please, do better.@SPimentaIFC @KGeorgieva @carmenmreinhart https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

8.

9. @WorldBank’s 4th core is supposed to be Integrity. Funds must never be misused & WB should ensure that.

World Bank – 2

@WorldBank may intend to end poverty, but where is the line drawn? To fund a Ethiopian govt. sponsored war that’s creating a man-made famine is problematic. Financial leaders also play a role in #TigrayGenocide. @SecYellen @DavidMalpassWBG @KFinkelstonhttps://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-03-19/ethiopia-tigray-war-massacre-bora

2. The Ethiopian govt. is engaged in massacring civilians, blocking aid, destroying hospitals & religious sites. @AbiyAhmedAli should be sanctioned not rewarded on #TigrayGenocide @Safaricom_Care withdraw bids for @ethiotelecom. @MyGovKe @SpokespersonGoK @ForeignOfficeKE @DFCgov

3. Ethiopia allowed Eritrea, a country with the worst human rights record to commit atrocities on people of Tigray.

There is a genocidal war taking place in Ethiopia & any profits have the potential to go towards war efforts. Do you support war & the #TigrayGenocide? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ethiopia-tigray-news-executions-rape-war-atrocities-genocide/

9. An investigation by @BBC Africa Eye has uncovered evidence that a massacre in Tigray was carried out by members of the Ethiopian military. We ask that @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom @AxianGroup halt bidding for @ethiotelecom until #TigrayGenocide stops! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56603022

This is who you want to do business with? @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom https://www.reuters.com/article/ethiopia-conflict-manufacturing-idUSKBN28J0LG

8. By supporting the sale of @ethiotelecom, @WorldBank would effectively be complicit in financially supporting a govt. that has waged an atrocious genocidal war on Tigray.

10.

Irob + Kunama

1. Irob was the first location to be attacked & fall under Eritrean forces in Ethiopia. “The north is dying,” said a Irob man. “I strongly believe there is a campaign to target the people.” #IrobMassacre #UNSCActNow #TigrayGenocide @UN @cnalive @Pontifex https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

The Irob district is little known & the situation there is not getting the attention it deserves from Int’l leaders. @AbiyAhmedAli is liable for all the crimes he is endorsing in northern Ethiopia. @LindaT_G @AmbMKimani #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide https://www.irobadvocacy.org/activities/pressrelease-Irob-District-In-Tigray-Needs-Urgent-Aid#.YD8JR_HT27t.twitter

3. “If you don’t bring your father, your brothers; you don’t get the aid, you’ll starve.” Irob is a severely affected area due to heavy Eritrean army presence. Hundreds have been executed & many women raped. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @irishmissionun https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

5. “It is to be recalled that Eritrean forces abducted over 97 Irob civilians during Ethio-Eritrean war” & still their whereabouts are unknown. Many #Irob have been killed by Eritrean troops. This is a great loss for the tribe. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide https://www.irobadvocacy.org/activities/pressrelease-Irob-District-In-Tigray-Needs-Urgent-Aid#.X-E_8FFY6FA.twitter

6. “This is the least-documented war. The world will apologize to the people of Tigray, but it will be too late.” When will @UN TRULY advocate for the people of Tigray & Irob? These ethnic groups are being targeted. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @NorwayUN https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

Why? #KunamaStarvation @AmbMKimani @UNReliefChief @mbachelet https://minorityrights.org/minorities/kunama-and-nara/

12. The Kunama depend on farming for their livelihood. The intentional looting & destruction of livestock, burning of villages & farming equipment has left them without food for 5 months. They are facing mass starvation. #UNSCActNow #TigrayGenocide @UNReliefChief @VietNam_UN

13. The Kunama people were devastated by Ethio-Eritrean border war.

14. The people of Kunama in Tigray, are at extreme risk of extinction. This minority community is facing weaponized starvation, as villages & farming equipment are burned down & cattle are looted by invading troops. Please protect them. #UNSCActNow @UNReliefChief @USAmbUN

15. Five months into the war & we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg in stories about the #TigrayGenocide. The more remote communities, such as Irob & Kunama, are the most vulnerable & need protection, before they become extinct. #UNSCActNow @USUN @Ilhan @SVG_UN @Niger_ONU

6. From Nobel Prize winner to grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions. Unelected @AbiyAhmedAli must face @IntlCrimCourt. He’s a terrorist in his own country. This isn’t democracy! #UNSCActNow #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @LindaT_G @jakejsullivan @AmbMKimanihttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-55832711

7. It’s time @AbiyAhmedAli is held liable for endorsing ethnic profiling, genocidal campaigns, weaponized rape, & starving a population. And it’s time @SecBlinken call Abiy out for what he truly is. He is a war criminal & a threat to democracy.@AmbMKimani @LindaT_G @PmTunisia @hrw

8. The Eritrean & Ethiopian govt. has repeatedly denied the involvement of Eritrean troops in Tigray, yet there are several reliable reports of looting, SGBV & massacres. #UNSCActNow & take ALL perpetrators to @IntlCrimCourt! #TigrayGenocide @LindaT_G @UKUN_NewYork @franceonu

9. A Mai Kadra survivor pleads to @AJENews ‘Tell the world we are dying!’ But one question remains.

11. #TigrayGenocide ‘soaring death tolls’ need to be ringing alarm bells among Intl. leaders. The same ???????? govt waging war in Tigray will not be the one to put an end to this horror. Intl. leaders have a moral obligation to intervene NOW. @ABlinken #UNSCActNowhttps://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/02/ethiopia-eritrean-troops-massacre-of-hundreds-of-axum-civilians-may-amount-to-crime-against-humanity/

12. The indisputable proof of war crimes committed by ???????? & ???????? military forces include #SGBV, looting and destruction of civilian infrastructure and mass killings. Tigray will not be helped by the same ???????? govt. attacking them. Intl. leaders MUST intervene #TigrayGenocide #UNSCActNow

13. @amnesty report on Axum massacre recount the graphic details of the horrific day.

Twitter Campaign – Irob + Kunama

Posted on April 10, 2021 by Sami Mulaw

Irob + Kunama – 1

Irob + Kunama – 2

Irob + Kunama – 3

Irob + Kunama – 4

Irob + Kunama – 5

Irob + Kunama – 1

Irob was the first location to be attacked & fall under Eritrean forces. “The north is dying,” said a Irob man. “I strongly believe there is a campaign to target the people.” Please protect this group. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @UN @UN4Indigenous @hrw https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

2. The Kunama & Irob people are suffering immensely & both may be on the brink of extinction. We cannot turn a blind eye. It’s time the @UN ensure unfettered humanitarian access to all of Tigray. #IrobMassacre #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide@KenyaMissionUN @UN4Indigenous @hrw

3. Muruts Beyenem was facing an uncertain future at the time of this 2019 interview, & now his community is facing mass extinction at the hands of Eritrean soldiers. When will the @UN wake up & help? #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @UNReliefChief @IPRightsIntl https://www.aljazeera.com/program/episode/2019/9/17/muruts-beyene-living-in-the-ethiopia-eritrea-borderland

4. The Irob & Kunama are located in remote areas of Tigray & are silently suffering. It’s time the @UN lead & stop the #TigrayGenocide. Hold Isaias & Abiy accountable! #IrobMassacre #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @UNTreatyBodies @CSORG @MinorityRights https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

5. The Kunama have faced war crimes by invading Eritrean troops. Their livelihood is at risk as they are being systematically starved by the burning of crops, farming equipment, and villages. @UN you have a Responsibility to Protect. #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @USAmbUN @SVG_UN

6. The Kunama have been terrorized by Eritrea for years. This is a minority group that must be protected. We are in the 5th month of the #TigrayGenocide & the @UN continues to fail this group. Why? #KunamaStarvation @AmbMKimani @UN4Indigenous @IFADEastAfrica https://minorityrights.org/minorities/kunama-and-nara/

7. Irob land is under full Eritrean occupation & leader Dori Asgedom, who advocated against border issues & for the plight of the Irob community is now detained by @AbiyAhmedAli. Free Dori Asgedom & condemn #IrobMassacre. #TigrayGenocide #PressFreedom@UN @USAmbUN @AmbMKimani

8. The Irob community continues to suffer a great deal under the violence & occupation of invading forces. We demand the withdrawal of Eritrean forces. Protect the Irob. Be a voice for all indigenous tribes. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @UNSRCulture https://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-minority-ethnic-cleansing-sudan-world-news-842741eebf9bf0984946619c0fc15023

9. Charges brought against Dori Asgedom are absurd. Arresting opposition party leaders for condemning #WarOnTigray is @AbiyAhmedAli ‘s tactic to consolidate his power. Please protect democracy as well as lives in Tigray from another #IrobMassacre. Can we count on you? @USAmbUN @UN

10. Irob women cont. to face weaponized rape & starvation in the mountains of Tigray by occupying Eritrean forces. It’s time the @UN Security Council takes concrete measures to remove these troops from Tigray. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @IFADEastAfricahttps://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-minority-ethnic-cleansing-sudan-world-news-842741eebf9bf0984946619c0fc15023

Irob + Kunama – 2

The Irob community never healed from the wounds of the 1998-2000 Ethio-Eritrean border war, yet again they find themselves fully occupied by Eritrean troops, who are killing them. Who is advocating for them? #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide@UN_HRC @UNHumanRights @Niger_ONU @hr

2. Dori Asgedom has been arrested by @AbiyAhmedAli for condemning #TigrayGenocide & demanding withdrawal of Eritrean forces. Dori did the right thing but he is paying the ultimate price. Please step up & save people from another #IrobMassacre. @Haavisto @JosepBorrellF @pressfreedom

3. The Irob are still grappling from the trauma of the last border war. Sadly, the #TigrayGenocide has renewed invasion of Eritrean forces who are pillaging villages.The @UN must lead an honest investigation of war crimes & ensure these troops leave Tigray. @SenateForeign @hrw

4. Awalom, a witness of #IrobMassacre, described watching Eritrean troops order 18 young men to lie in a remote field so they could be shot to death. Please protect this indigenous community. #TigrayGenocide @EUCouncil @IWGIA @IENearth @Survivalhttps://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-minority-ethnic-cleansing-sudan-world-news-842741eebf9bf0984946619c0fc15023

5. Unfortunately, the Irob community with rich culture, generous and loving people are now one of the worst victims of the ongoing #WarOnTigray. Please protect this tribe.#TigrayGenocide #IrobMassacre @EU_Commission @UN4Indigenous @Pontifex @TheCWIS @hrwhttps://www.aljazeera.com/program/episode/2019/9/17/muruts-beyene-living-in-the-ethiopia-eritrea-borderland

6. The Irob are left with no means to survive in #TigrayGenocide. Eritrean troops have looted health centers & food from homes. They even killed cattle. Ethiopia & Eritrea must be held liable for war crimes. #IrobMassacre @RSPCA_official @UNReliefChiefhttps://www.aljazeera.com/program/episode/2019/9/17/muruts-beyene-living-in-the-ethiopia-eritrea-borderland

7. The Irob of Ethiopia have been found dead of starvation and massacres by Eritrean troops. When will the @UN Security Council use it’s power to end the #TigrayGenocide and ensure that another #IrobMassacre doesn’t happen? @mbachelet @USAmbUN @RussiaUNhttps://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

8. “If you don’t bring your father, your brothers, you don’t get the aid, you’ll starve,” an Irob woman was told. In #TigrayGenocide, civilians are being denied means to survive. These are war crime & perpetrators must be condemned. @mbachelet #IrobMassacrehttps://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

9. The Irob and Kunama are minorities within a minority, making up less than 1% of the population in Tigray.The existence of both groups is under immense threat as the #WarOnTigray continues. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @UN4Indigenous @UNOCHA @IWGIA

10. The vast population of Kunama live in the Greater Sheraro area, located close to the Eritrean border and is currently occupied by Eritrean forces. This is alongside reports of entire families dying of starvation in Sheraro. #KunamaStarvation @IWGIA @UN4Indigenous @UNReliefChief

Irob + Kunama – 3

The Kunama depend on farming for their livelihood. The intentional looting & destruction of livestock, burning of villages & farming equipment has left them without food for 5 months. They are facing mass starvation. #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @UNReliefChief @UNDP @hrw

2. The Irob minority are vulnerable given the location – alongside the unprotected Ethio-Eritrean border. Eritrean forces have taken advantage of the proximity to Irob. Young men throughout Irob land face continuous attacks by Eritrean troops. #IrobMassacre @Haavisto @UN4Indigenous

3. Young men in Irob are being taken from their homes & massacred. This is happening alongside a communications blackout all while Irob land is under full Eritrean occupation. The minority group needs to be protected. #IrobMassacre @EUatUN @mbachelet @CSORGhttps://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-minority-ethnic-cleansing-sudan-world-news-842741eebf9bf0984946619c0fc15023

4. “Better to kill the women of #Tigray because tomorrow they will give birth to the woyane” often said by Eritrean forces. Attacks on the Irob community are incredibly concerning bc they run the increased risk of extermination. #TigrayGenocide @UNOCHA https://eritreahub.org/here-are-the-massacres-in-tigray-witnesses-priests-and-civilians-horribly-slaughtered

5. Irob people of Tigray were devastated by the Ethio-Eritrean 1998-2000 border war which they never healed from. In just 20 yrs, exposed to yet more mass atrocities by #EritreanTroops-their ethnic survival depends on immediate withdrawal of Eritrean forces. #IrobMassacre @USUN

6. The war on Tigray is an imminent threat to the existence of the Kunama & Irob indigenous minorities of Tigray. we demand @UNHCR & @UNSC to live up to their obligation of protecting both minority groups. #KunamaStarvation #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @UN_GP_RtoP @mbachelet

7. The Kunama people were devastated by Ethio-Eritrean border war. In just 20 years , they’re facing more war crimes by Eritrean troops-their ethnic survival depends on immediate withdrawal of Eritrean forces. #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @UNActionhttps://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/fr/node/206933

8. “Irob is now under the total control of invading Eritrean forces – there are no Ethiopian troops in the area, no telephone, no transportation, no lighting.” Irob & Kunama of Tigray are suffering. #KunamaStarvation #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @EUCouncilhttps://eritreahub.org/tigray-a-report-smuggled-out-of-irob-of-murder-and-rape-by-eritrean-troop

9. In a tragic irony, the govn’t of Ethiopia, one of the first nations to sign the 1948 Genocide Convention, currently stands accused of permitting & participating in violence that could amount to genocide. #IrobMassacre #KunamaStarvation @LindaT_Ghttps://forbinfull.org/2021/02/04/the-intl-community-must-act-swiftly-to-save-tigray-region/

10. “What I would have never in my worst nightmares thought was that Eritrean army would return 20 years later, to fully occupy our lands & commit the same atrocities they committed during the Ethio-Eritrea border war” #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @hrwhttps://omnatigray.org/dear-ethiopian-propagandists/

Irob + Kunama – 4

The Irob + Kunama are minority groups within a minority. They are facing real extermination under Eritrean soldiers.Their geographical location & low population size puts them at a higher risk of genocide. #IrobMassacre #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @NorwayUN @UN_GP_RtoP

2. The Irob & Kunama are experiencing insurmountable atrocities during this 5 month-long genocidal tragedy of Ethiopian & Eritrean occupation. They are being starved to death. #IrobMassacre #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @UN_GP_RtoP @UKUN_NewYork @Haavisto @SecBlinken @mbachelet

3. Tigrayans are hungry today bc starvation is relentlessly & systematically being used as a weapon of war. Minorities like the Irob & Kunama are particularly at higher risk of starvation. #KunamaStarvation #IrobMassacre @EUCouncil @jakejsullivan https://www.rfi.fr/en/africa/20210406-ethiopia-targeting-tigray-with-starvation-crimes-as-military-tactic-report?ref=tw

4. 3 days ago @EmmanuelMacron stated that France’s role before+during the 1994 #RwandanGenocide was a “monumental failure”. So why does France ignore #TigrayGenocide? Ethnic #Irob + #Kunama face gross violations under Eritrea|n troops. @franceonu #IrobMassacre #KunamaStarvation

5. The Ethiopian govt. is intentionally & systematically starving Tigrayans. Ethnic minorities like the Kunama & Irob are likely in danger of going extinct. Responsibility to Protect. @SAdamsR2P @LindaT_G #IrobMassacre #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocidehttps://sites.tufts.edu/wpf/files/2021/04/Starving-Tigray-report-final.pdf

6. The Irob + Kunama communities, as minorities in Tigray, are being deliberately slaughtered by Ethiopian + Eritrean forces. A community that is less than 1%, is the most threatened with extinction. @EU_Council @UNOCHA @SecBlinken @EstoniaUN #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide

7. The Irob + Kunama population in Tigray are limited in number, & the atrocities they face in the #TigrayGenocide are putting them at risk of extinction. The @UN must provide special protections for these people, before there are none left. #IrobMassacre #KunamaStarvation @UNDPPA

8. The remote, vulnerable Irob community in Tigray has been under a major telecommunications + electricity blackout as they suffer through horrific massacres & weaponized rape in the midst of the #TigrayGenocide. We need your help protecting them, @UN. #IrobMassacre @Refugees @hrw

9. The people of Kunama in Tigray, are at extreme risk of extinction due to the #TigrayGenocide. This vulnerable community in particular is facing weaponized starvation, as villages & farming equipment are burned down + property & cattle are looted. #KunamaStarvation @FilippoGrandi

10. The Kunama community is suffering immensely from the #TigrayGenocide. They’ve faced not only starvation & destruction of villages & property, but also the abduction of refugees & the destruction of refugee camps. We must protect them immediately. #KunamaStarvation @UNOCHA @hrw

Irob + Kunama – 5

5 months into the conflict, we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg in stories about the #TigrayGenocide. The more remote communities, such as Irob & Kunama, are the most vulnerable & need protection, before they become extinct. #IrobMassacre #KunamaStarvation @mbachelet @USUN

2. Kunama people in Tigray are facing mass starvation and displacement from their indigenous lands by Eritrean troops and Amhara militias. They deserve protection. #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @un @IWGIA @CSORG @Survival @IPRightsIntl @nowthisnews

3. Kunama people are facing mass looting of properties, including cattle & farming equipments. They lead their lives through farming & Eritrean troops are deliberately burning farming equipments, to prevent them from growing crops. #KunamaStarvation @UN @Incomindios @IENearth

4. Credible sources indicate that Kunama villages near Sheraro such as Geza Adura & Geza Meker have been burned by Eritrean troops with livestock’s stolen & Kunama women being told to bring their husbands & sons or face consequences. #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @hrw @UNOCHA

5. The Kunama people are minority within a minority & have the smallest population in Tigray. The towns and villages where Kunama live have been occupied by Eritrean troops & Amhara militias since the beginning of the genocidal war #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @UN @IWGIA

6. Kunama people of Eritrea have long standing tension with dictator Isaias Afewerki. Eritrean troops burned down Shimelba refugee camp where large Kunama pop. reside. Same is being done to #Tigray #Kunama community. #KunamaStarvation @UN4Indigenous @UNSRCulture @IFADEastAfrica

7. Indigenous communities lead sustainable life, Kunama & Irob people have strong spiritual, cultural, social & economic ties to their lands. Many of them are currently IDPs & facing atrocities by Eritrean troops. #KunamaStarvation #IrobMassacre @UN @mbachelet @EUCouncil @EUatUN

8. Kunama people depend on farming for livelihood. Eritrean troops are deliberately burning crops,& equipment which is leading to mass starvation.@UN must act immediately to protect the people of #Kunama #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @IWGIA @Survival @IndigenousPpls @USAmbUN

9. Kunama settlements are in northwestern Tigray, now under Eritrean occupation. Reports of massacres & mass destruction by Eritrean troops threaten the very existence of this minority group. We urge @PmTunisia @Niger_ONU @KenyaMissionUN to end #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide

10. Kunama are fleeing sexual violence, massacres, & looting by Eritrean troops only to arrive in Sheraro & find a desperate, dire situation. We demand unfettered humanitarian access to all of Tigray. #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide @EstoniaUN @MexOnu https://www.nrc.no/news/2021/march/ethiopia-hunger-and-disease-rife-among-displaced-as-aid-workers-gain-access-to-new-parts-of-tigray/

11. Due to the ongoing state-sponsored #TigrayGenocide, #Tigray|an Kunama are facing serious risk of starvation and extinction. @UN needs to ensure unfettered humanitarian access to all of Tigray and independent investigations into war crimes. @Chinamission2un #KunamaStarvation

12. Kunama settlements throughout northwestern Tigray have been burned down and looted by Eritrean troops causing massive displacement, #KunamaStarvation, and risking their survival as an indigenous minority group. We are demanding @UN protect the Kunama people. #TigrayGenocide

13. Kunama are the smallest ethnic minority in Tigray. Facing possible extinction due to the genocidal war waged against Tigray by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces. Why isn’t @MinorityRights fiercely advocating for their protection & right to exist? #KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide

14. 5 months into the genocidal war in Tigray the Kunama people are suffering disparate and existential consequences. Their unique culture, indigenous to Tigray, is at risk of total annihilation.#TigrayGenocide #KunamaStarvation @DicarloRosemary @wessendorfk @nowthisnews

15. The Kunama within Tigray, Ethiopia must be protected. As a vulnerable minority within a minority group, the survival of their language and culture is an international & moral imperative. #UNSCActNow to save the Kunama people!#KunamaStarvation #TigrayGenocide@Incomindios @hrw
