Twitter Campaign – World Bank

Posted on by Eyasu Berhe

World Bank-1

1. “The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create significant health, social & economic challenges in Ethiopia,” said @SonaliJC. But why hasn’t @AbiyAhmedAli’s #WarOnTigray been addressed & the role funding will play in the #TigrayGenocide? @DavidMalpassWBG

2. The aim of #IMF funds is to promote economic growth, financial stability, & reduce poverty. NOT potentially fund a genocide with no end in sight. @AbiyAhmedAli must call for a ceasefire & @WorldBank should require it. @Adixon_WB @IMFNews #TigrayGenocide https://www.voanews.com/africa/us-appeals-cease-fire-ethiopias-tigray-rejected

3. So #IDAworks when @WorldBank & #IMF agree to fund @AbiyAhmedAli’s #WarOnTigray? As financial leaders you should demand a ceasefire, removal of foreign troops & a @UN-led only independent investigation. Not reward a dictator with more money! #TigrayGenocide @wbg_gov @AxelVT_WB

4. By providing money to a regime that is intentionally blocking much needed humanitarian access to its own country, is condoning a war on humanity. #IMF & @WorldBank – stop funding the #TigrayGenocide. @DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WB @Adixon_WB https://www.voanews.com/africa/us-appeals-cease-fire-ethiopias-tigray-rejected

5. COVID19 is @AbiyAhmedAli’s scapegoat to receive aid relief for Ethiopian. Meanwhile, he is STILL using food as a weapon in #WarOnTigray. Demand that he open ALL humanitarian corridors, not reward him with funds for guns! #TigrayGenocide @IFC_org @WBG_IDA https://www.voanews.com/africa/us-appeals-cease-fire-ethiopias-tigray-rejected

6. The @UNOCHA reported that 35 of 40 hospitals in Tigray are inaccessible. Most looted or destroyed. @WorldBank aid isn’t about COVID-19 relief for Ethiopia. This is about funding a cruel war waged by @AbiyAhmedAli. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBGhttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-refugee-camps-are-torched-and-hospitals-looted-as-starvation-looms-in/

7. .@AbiyAhmedAli has scared off suppliers of @hm & @childrensplace during the #TigrayGenocide. He’s allowed forces to destroy infrastructures, causing the country’s economy to plunge. This is who you want to do business with? @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom https://www.reuters.com/article/ethiopia-conflict-manufacturing-idUSKBN28J0LG

8. The @WorldBank mission is “to reduce poverty, & improve living standards by promoting sustainable growth & investment in people.” But @AbiyAhmedAli has only exacerbated issues. Are you holding him accountable or choosing to fund #TigrayGenocide? @HafezGhanem_WB @SPimentaIFC

9. Merhawit was abducted, starved & left with rape injuries so bad, she can’t walk. This is the reality in Ethiopia as @AbiyAhmedAli wages a cruel war on Tigray. A conflict @WorldBank could likely be funding. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WBhttps://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-02-11/troops-accused-of-mass-rape-in-ethiopias-tigray-conflict

10. With debt relief comes the responsibility to protect humanity & @WorldBank must hold governments to higher standards. The actions of @AbiyAhmedAli do not align with World Bank’s mission. Halt funds to Ethiopia. #TigrayGenocide @SPimentaIFC @HafezGhanem_WBhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/28/scale-of-tigray-horror-adds-to-pressure-on-ethiopian-leade

11. Please sign the petition. Urge World Bank to halt funding to Ethiopia. #TigrayGenocide https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-suspend-loans-and-grants/

12. Please sign the petition calling for an end to privatization of Ethio Telecom. #TigrayGenocide
https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-stop-privatization/

13. Have you signed both petitions yet?
1) Suspend Grants https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-suspend-loans-and-grants/2) Stop privatization https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-stop-privatization/
#TigrayGenocide

World Bank-2

1. @UNOCHA has confirmed refugee camps in Tigray have been destroyed, looted, & vandalized. @WorldBank, action is needed to save lives & you must do your part to help. Halt funds to Ethiopia as long as it wages a cruel war. #TigrayGenocide @HafezGhanem_WBhttps://www.unhcr.org/news/briefing/2021/3/605da0564/unhcr-reaches-destroyed-camps-northern-tigray.html

2. A government that has inflicted a humanitarian disaster to 4.5 million people in Ethiopia should NOT receive money from #IMF @WorldBank. The world is failing the African people. Stop funding @AbiyAhmedAli & the #TigrayGenocide. @SPimentaIFC @HafezGhanem_WB @FeridBelhaj @Diop_IFC

3. The @WorldBank aims to reduce poverty & improve living standards, but providing relief aid or funding of any kind to Ethiopia or Eritrea would certainly prove that humanitarian needs do not matter to them. #TigrayGenocide @ADixon_WB @DFCgov @kyle_a_murphyhttps://apnews.com/bc1dba93de69415ee5da2663a87e8d1a

4. As #IMF welcomes Ethiopia’s request for debt treatment under the G20 Common Framework, they are effectively funding war crimes & encouraging @AbiyAhmedAli’s economic mismanagement. They must deny all aid! #TigrayGenocide @IFC_org @DFCgov @HafezGhanem_WB https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/28/scale-of-tigray-horror-adds-to-pressure-on-ethiopian-leader

5. .@AbiyAhmedAli received 3 billion in aid from @WorldBank in 2019 & promised to transition Ethiopia to a “prosperous & peaceful nation.” He is far from proving this. As leaders you must hold him accountable to deliver. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBG https://www.voanews.com/africa/ethiopia-get-3-billion-loan-world-bank

6. People are intentionally being starved by @AbiyAhmedAli’s Govt. & now he’s approved for billions in aid from @WorldBank & #IMF. Where do you draw the line, @DavidMalpassWBG? We ask for transparency on where he plans to spend this money. #TigrayGenocide https://apnews.com/article/world-news-ethiopia-a25a50a774da284122c74a0bc1428052

7. We ask that @WorldBank review @AbiyAhmedAli’s budget allocation & expenditure over the last 3 years. The public should know where money is being spent in Ethiopia, especially during conflict. #TigrayGenocide @wbg_gov @DavidMalpassWBG @HafezGhanem_WB https://www.voanews.com/africa/ethiopia-get-3-billion-loan-world-bank

8. .@WorldBank & @DFCgov should not support the privatization of @ethiotelecom. We ask for the withdraw of any bids. As secretive as @AbiyAhmedAli has been, how can we trust his next move isn’t rooted in war efforts? #TigrayGenocide @kyle_a_murphy @IFC_orghttps://www.foxnews.com/world/ethiopias-secret-war-in-tigray-region-ethnic-killings-rapes-near-starvation-reported

9. To @Safaricom_Care @MyGovKe it is critical that you withdraw your bid from @ethiotelecom. 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/

10. Are you aware that @AbiyAhmedAli is trying to fund his war on Tigray with your help? We ask that @MTNGroup does their due diligence & cancel bids for @ethiotelecom. #TigrayGenocide@wimMTNUG @StephenBlewett @jschultebockum @DioumSerigne1 @PaulNormanMTNhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

11. Please sign the petition. World Bank needs to understand the potential role they could play in the #TigrayGenocide.

12. Privatization of Ethio Telecom should be suspended. Please sign the petition. #TigrayGenocide

World Bank-3

1. Kenya, you are aware of how badly the people of Tigray are suffering at the hands of @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias Afwerki. We ask that @Safaricom_Care withdraw bids for @ethiotelecom. Do NOT fund the #TigrayGenocide! @MyGovKe @SpokespersonGoK @ForeignOfficeKE https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ethiopia-tigray-news-executions-rape-war-atrocities-genocide/

2. South Africa, it’s important that Shameel Joosub of @Vodacom withdraw bids for @ethiotelecom. @AbiyAhmedAli is trying to fund his war on Tigray with your help. Do you support genocidal wars targeting the innocent? #TigrayGenocide @GovernmentZA @GEPF_SA https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/01/africa/ethiopia-mfa-us-tigray-troops-intl/index.html

3. Although @AbiyAhmedAli has tried to keep the #TigrayGenocide a secret, he can’t hide that he’s trying to fund it. We ask that @LiquidInTech withdraw any bids from @ethiotelecom. Do not fund a Genocide. @NicRudnick @econetzimbabwe @DouglasMboweni https://www.dw.com/en/tigray-war-behind-a-steel-wall/a-56737354

4. Ralph Mupita & leaders of @MTNGroup must do right & withdraw bids for @ethiotelecom. Do you support genocidal wars against innocent people? The world is watching. #TigrayGenocide @wimMTNUG @StephenBlewett @PaulNormanMTN @jschultebockum @KamalSantina https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/01/africa/ethiopia-mfa-us-tigray-troops-intl/index.html

5. Ethiopian leaders have repeatedly shown no accountability about anything in the #WarOnTigray. Almost 5 months after declaring victory over #WarOnTigray & civilians are continuing to be victims of ethnic cleansing. @DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WB

6. Ethiopia allowed Eritrea, a country with the worst human rights record to commit atrocities on people of Tigray. This is the level of integrity Ethiopia will apply on money funded by @WorldBank. #TigrayGenocide @IMFNews @DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WB @IFC https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

7. After months of denying the presence of Eritrean troops in Tigray, troops are now dressed in Ethiopian uniform. Money granted to @AbiyAhmedAli will be used to kill civilians and fabricate more lies in the #TigrayGencoide. Do you support this? @Diop_IFC https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/26/world/africa/eritrea-troops-tigray-ethiopia.html

8. 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

9. Ethiopian troops, Amhara militias & Eritrean forces are committing weaponized rape against women & girls in Tigray. @WorldBank @MyGovKe should halt disbursement of funds until a @UN-mandated investigation of war crimes & #TigrayGenocide is over. @DFCgov https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/01/world/africa/ethiopia-tigray-sexual-assault.html

10. Many #tigray healthcare facilities built with funds given by #IMF and #worldbank were intentionally destroyed @AbiyAhmedAli during this genocidal war. #worldbank should be furious about this, rather than reward him with more funding @WorldBank @wbg_govhttps://www.msf.org/health-facilities-targeted-tigray-region-ethiopia

11. Please sign both petitions. #TigrayCantWait

1) Suspend Grants

2) Stop Privatization
https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-stop-privatization/

World Bank-4

1. 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 @AxelVT_WB @MamtaMurthi @WBG_IDA @DFCgov https://www.theafricareport.com/39864/ethiopia-the-case-for-partial-privatization-of-ethio-telecom/

2. .@WorldBank & @DFCgov must refrain from participating on the privatization of @ethiotelecom. We demand withdraw of bids. Any profit gained has a massive potential to fund #TigrayGenocide. Please, do better. @kyle_a_murphy @wbg_gov @MIGA @SPimentaIFChttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/02/ethiopia-1900-people-killed-in-massacres-in-tigray-identified

3. .@WorldBank’s 4th core is Integrity. It requires the use of funds, resources, assets & authority according to the intended purposes aligned with public interest & with broader principles of good governance. @AbiyAhmedAli must be held accountable! #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBG

4. .@ethiotelecom has been weaponized against the people of Tigray. Unelected @AbiyAhmedAli uses communication as a tool of war. Cease & desist all deals regarding infrastructure in Ethiopia until the #TigrayGenocide investigations are complete. @Vodacom https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/eu-calls-on-ethiopia-to-lift-tigray-communications-blackout-as-sudan-refugee-camps-get-overcrowded/vi-BB1bCXFx

5. Any deal with unelected @AbiyAhmedAli is contributing to #TigrayGenocide. Do not enable weaponized starvation and weaponized rape by the Ethiopian government. Halt any bids on @ethiotelecom @Vodacom @AxianGroup @MTNGroup @LiquidInTech @DouglasMboweni @benliquidkenya@DFCgov

6. Any entity that turns a blind eye to the human rights violations rampant in Tigray, in order to benefit from the turmoil caused by unelected @AbiyAhmedAli’s #TigrayGenocide is complicit & will be held accountable. That includes you @NicRudnick @eboggsdavidsen @AlgeneSajery46

7. 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

8. Many healthcare facilities built with funds given by #IMF & @WorldBank were intentionally destroyed by @AbiyAhmedAli during this genocidal war. @WorldBank should be furious about those actions, rather than reward him with more funding. @DFCgov @wbg_gov https://www.msf.org/health-facilities-targeted-tigray-region-ethiopia

9. Privatizing @ethiotelecom has the potential to increase investment capital by attracting foreign investment & raising revenue for the government.

10. “The @WorldBank is preparing a new Digital Ethiopia Foundations project & invest some $200 million in the country’s digital economy”. We are highly concerned that profits from privatizations will indirectly support war efforts. @IFC_org @Diop_IFC @DFCgov https://blogs.worldbank.org/africacan/why-ethiopia-needs-open-its-telecom-market

11. .@WorldBank & @DFCgov must refrain from participating on the privatization of @ethiotelecom. We demand withdraw of bids. Any profit gained has a massive potential to fund #TigrayGenocide.

World Bank-5

1. Ethiopia is facing intense scrutiny over human rights violations. Please do your due diligence & consider your role in funding this war. Are you a supporter of genocide? #TigrayGenocide @NicRudnick @wimMTNUG @GovernmentZA @MyGovKe @benliquidkenya @GEPF_SAhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/01/africa/tigray-mahibere-dego-massacre-video-cmd-intl/index.html

2. It’s clear that @AbiyAhmedAli mismanages money. He’s brought Ethiopia’s economy to the ground by going to war with his own country. Add war crimes to the list. How can you support this? #TigrayGenocide? @WorldBankMENA @SecYellen @kanshul @kyle_a_murphyhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/02/africa/tigray-soldier-massacre-ethiopia-response-intl/index.html

3. .@wbg_gov World Bank principles state resources and assets must be used for what’s intended. Ethiopia has been using money from WB for the war on Tigray. @WorldBank should not finance @ethiotelecom bid by @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom @AxianGroup @MTNGroup @DFCgov #TigrayGenocide

4. Ethiopia is guilty of ethnic cleansing & has the worst humanitarian crisis in the HOA if not in the world. @AbiyAhmedAli will be in @IntlCrimCourt for war crimes & genocide. Shame on you if you bid for @ethiotelecom. @MTNGroup @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom @AxianGroup #TigrayGenocide

5. Investing in @ethiotelecom while Ethiopia is orchestrating a genocidal war will cause more instability in HOA. @AbiyAhmedAli will use profits for war. You support this? #TigrayGenocide @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom @AxianGroup @NicRudnick @jschultebockumhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/02/africa/tigray-soldier-massacre-ethiopia-response-intl/index.html

6. It’s important that @WorldBank hold Ethiopia accountable for crimes against humanity. How can WB naively give money to @AbiyAhmedAli when he’s actively destroying the country? Be responsible & suspend all aid! #TigrayGenocide @HafezGhanem_WB @SPimentaIFC https://www.voanews.com/africa/g-7-nations-call-swift-withdrawal-eritrean-troops-tigray

7. Analysis of massacre video raises questions for Ethiopian Army. It raise questions for @WorldBank as well. Will you be complicit in @AbiyAhmedAli’s war on humanity? Suspend aid. Don’t escalate the #TigrayGenocide. @FeridBelhaj @DFCgov @KFinkelstonhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/01/africa/tigray-mahibere-dego-massacre-video-cmd-intl/index.html

8. IMF is an organization that aims to reduce poverty and ensure stability & peace through economic means. However, providing funding to a country at war with its own people will threaten any possibility of peace & stability. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBG @WorldBankAfrica

9. The WB mission is “to reduce poverty, & improve living standards by promoting sustainable growth & investment in people.” But @AbiyAhmedAli is killing people. Are you holding him accountable or funding #TigrayGenocide? @HafezGhanem_WB @SPimentaIFC @DFCgovhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/01/africa/tigray-mahibere-dego-massacre-video-cmd-intl/index.html

10. The G7 group of leading economic powers has said it is “strongly concerned” by reports of human rights abuses in Ethiopia’s conflict-hit Tigray region. And what does @WorldBank do, reward the country with money. Absurd. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBGhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/g7-condemns-rights-abuses-in-tigray-conflict/ar-BB1ffdcd

6. #TigrayGenocide has severely impacted many proud New Zealanders who have deep roots and cultural relations to Tigray. @jacindaardern @NanaiaMahuta, we urge you to take a public stance by making a statement denouncing the monstrosities in Tigray. #NZGovActNow @golrizghahraman

5. #NZGovtActNow & stop crimes against humanity in #TigrayGenocide committed by unelected PM @AbiyAhmedAli. NZ Gov’t has an international moral obligation to demand unrestrained humanitarian aid & the end of hostiles. @NanaiaMahuta @golrizghahraman @MarjaLubeck

NeverAgain4Tigray – 1
  1. Geneva Convention reads,”Fixed establishments & mobile medical units of the Medical Service may in no circumstances be attacked [..]”, but invading forces have destroyed Tigray’s health facilities, as described by @MSF. #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide https://www.msf.org/health-facilities-targeted-tigray-region-ethiopia

2. The Int’l. community must see the the #WarOnTigray for what it is & call it by its name. And having done so, address it with the caliber that the 21st Century affords. There is a Genocide in progress in Ethiopia. #NeverAgain4Tigray @UN @USAmbUN @UN_HRChttps://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

3. Despite the Geneva convention, #EritreanTroops have systematically destroyed #Tigray’s health infrastructure. These essential facilities are not able to provide basic health services while ppl have to travel for days in search of help. @UNOCHA #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide

4. Tigrayans worked long & hard to build their community health centers, but within a matter of months decades of investment has vanished. The intl community has the responsibility to hold those who have looted & destroyed these facilities accountable. @UN_HRC #NeverAgain4Tigray

5. There is such a thing as a just war, & targeting health facilities is not a characteristic of one. Of 106 facilities visited by @MSF, only 13% were functioning normally. This is unacceptable. @SecBlinken @USAmbUN @mbachelet #NeverAgain4Tigray https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/15/ethiopia-msf-condemns-widespread-attacks-on-tigray-clinics

8.

NeverAgain4Tigray – 2
  1. The @UN has called for an end to “horrific” sexual violence in Tigray. Where’s the action?

5. In Tigray, there have been reports of ethnic massacres, ethnic cleansing, extrajudicial killings, weaponized rape & weaponized hunger.

6. 73 years ago, the @UN approved The Convention on the Prevention & Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Today, the crimes listed on that doc are being perpetrated on Tigray, but go without independent, UN-led investigations. #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide @mbachelet

7. It took 100 days and 800,000+ lives in Rwanda for the @UN to respond to the Genocide. On day 140+ we ask, how many more war crimes & human rights violations in Tigray will warrant a response? #TigrayGenocide #NeverAgain4Tigray @mbachelet @antonioguterres https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/diplomats-un-fails-to-approve-call-to-end-tigray-violence/2021/03/06/a9815636-7e41-11eb-8c5e-32e47b42b51b_story.html

8. “The Convention on the Prevention & Punishment of the Crime of Genocide–a treaty born out of fervent desire to ensure that “never again”would any person face the horror of genocide-as the atrocities inflicted by Nazi Germany in the holocaust.” #NeverAgain4Tigray @SecBlinken

9. We call on the @UN to uphold the vow of #NeverAgain & stop the #TigrayGenocide. Time and time again, it has failed to act promptly to prevent mass atrocities. Rwanda, Yugoslavia and Syria are a few prime examples of the UN’s failure to act swiftly. #NeverAgain4Tigray @LindaT_G

10. There is “a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing” in Tigray by the Ethiopian gov’t according to US reports. How long must we wait for the intl comm to take action? @UN act on #NeverAgain. #NeverAgain4Tigray @mbachelet @USAmbUN @USUN @UKUN_NewYork https://www.voanews.com/africa/us-delegation-top-ethiopian-officials-discuss-tigray-conflict

1. .@EthioHRC and @DanielBekele should be removed from any credible investigations into Tigray. They are biased and answer to @AbiyAhmedAli. We demand an independent @UN-led investigation. Nothing less! #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyforTigray @hickspeggy @SecBlinken @EmmanuelMacron

2. Crimes against humanity must require independent investigations. The war crimes in Tigray were waged by @AbiyAhmedAli whose government runs the @EthioHRC. How is this going to be a reliable investigation? It won’t! #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyforTigray @mbachelet @eucopresident

3. The @UN must lead an independent investigation into war crimes in Tigray without the influence of the Ethiopian government. To partner with the @EthioHRC is to silence the people of Tigray. #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyforTigray @mbachelet @PmTunisia @hrw https://news.yahoo.com/un-rights-chief-agrees-joint-033524783.html

4. Allowing @EthioHRC to investigate war crimes & crimes against humanity in Tigray, perpetrated by the Ethiopian govt, is a nonstarter. As an agency of the Ethiopian govt, EHRC is involved in biased, false & whitewashed reporting on #TigrayGenocide. #UNOnlyforTigray @mbachelet @hrw

5. Tigrayans do not have faith in @EthioHRC’s ability to carry out an unbiased investigation in Tigray. EHRC is an Ethiopian governmental agency. It has already engaged in false reporting & efforts to whitewash #TigrayGenocide! #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @ambassadorRice @UN_HRC

6. .@EthioHRC was created by a proclamation of the federal govt. of Ethiopia. It has already engaged in a concerted effort to coverup the #TigrayGenocide. The Tigrayan community has no confidence in EHRC, thus its involvement is a nonstarter. @hickspeggy @Haavisto @VietNam_UN

7. .@EthioHRC’s Chief, @DanielBekele, is hand picked by @AbiyAhmedAli & is NOT independent. EHRC has been involved in blame shifting & whitewashing crimes in Tigray even after int’l human rights orgs uncovered atrocities. No to EHRC! ????????‍♂️ #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @LindaT_G

8. .@EthioHRC must not join @UN’s investigation in Tigray! Created & funded by the Ethiopian gov’t, it has a conflict of interest & must be precluded from investigating the #TigrayGenocide. EHRC’s involvement is totally unacceptable. @mbachelet @UNReliefChief @AmbMKimani @UN_HRC

9. Any investigation involving @EthioHRC will be tainted as it is an arm of Abiy’s govt & has engaged in a concerted effort to whitewash the #TigrayGenocide. EHRC has produced biased, misleading reports misrepresenting the facts in Tigray. #UNOnlyForTigray @Ilhan @VP @JoeBiden

10. The ethnic cleansing in Tigray was perpetrated by Amhara militia, Eritrean soldiers & Ethiopian federal army. @EthioHRC is an Ethiopian governmental agency. We deserve an independent, @UN-led investigation into the #TigrayGenocide. #UNOnlyForTigray @SamanthaJPower @EUCouncil

11. .@EthioHRC shaped a false narrative on #WarOnTigray by producing a false report on #MaikadraMassacre in support of @AbiyAhmedAli. Now, it wants to rewrite facts on the #TigrayGenocide. EHRC’s involvement is fraudulent! #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @USAmbUN @BorisJohnson

12. The Ethiopian Gov, Eritrean soldiers & Amhara militia committed atrocities, blocked communication, basic services, & humanitarian aid for over 4 months. @EthioHRC can’t independently investigate atrocities. Tigray deserves a @UN-led investigation. #UNOnlyForTigray @UNReliefChief

13. In the past 3 yrs, the @EthioHRC selectively avoided investigating human rights violations. That is bias, selective outrage, & untrustworthiness. The @UN must reverse its decision to work with state-run @EthioHRC. @jakejsullivan @LindaT_G @SecBlinken @irishmissionun @SVG_UN

7. Daniel Bekele and @EthioHRC have already proven their lack of impartiality through their misleading reports of the #TigrayGenocide, including the #MaikadraMassacre. They’ve shown that they can’t be trusted to be independent. #UNOnlyForTigray @JustinTrudeau @eucopresident @hrw

8. An independent investigation must not be influenced by any parties. The @EthioHRC has shown their willingness to misrepresent facts in order to downplay the Ethiopian govt’s role in the #TigrayGenocide. They must not be trusted by the @UN_HRC. #UNOnlyForTigray @StateDeptSpox

9. If the @UN truly wants to see justice & an end to the #TigrayGenocide, they’ll reconsider their decision to work with the @EthioHRC, a biased gov’t-run organization committed to misrepresenting facts & protecting Abiy Ahmed. We need impartiality. #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet

5. An independent investigation of human rights violations in Tigray requires courageous input from traumatized victims. Including the state-funded @EthioHRC means including the perpetrators of these crimes & strips the victims of a legitimate investigation! @UNOCHA @UN_HCR @USUN

6. The @UN must reverse its decision to include state-run @EthioHRC in an independent investigation of Tigray in order for the “victims and witnesses of human rights violations to not be hindered from sharing their testimony for fear of reprisals”. @mbachelet #TigrayGenocide @USUN

7. Allowing involvement from Ethiopian state-run & funded @EthioHRC in a @UN-led investigation of Tigray delegitimizes the investigation by allowing the perpetrators to investigate their own crimes. Victims of the #TigrayGenocide deserve a truly independent investigation! @UNOCHA

8. The @UN must reverse the decision to include @EthioHRC in an independent investigation of Tigray. Silence is violence & including Ethiopian-funded EHRC is effectively silencing victims by introducing bias & corruption into the investigation. #TigrayGenocide @Haavisto

12. The @EthioHRC’s reporting on the Mai Kadra massacre placed the victims of the massacre as the perpetrators. The @USUN has a responsibility to ensure such crimes against humanity are duly investigated. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @JoeBiden @IntlCrimCourt @UNHumanRights

13. The @EthioHRC is an agency of the Ethiopian Government charged with promoting and investigating human rights abuses in the country. It is neither independent nor impartial. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @EUatUN @mbachelet@EstoniaUN @irishmissionun @ScottMorrisonMP

14. UN-mandated independent investigations are the only means to addressing the atrocities committed in Tigray. Collaborating with govt. agencies will only serve to echo the same genocidal intentions at play within the Ethiopian Govt. #UnOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @hickspeggy

1. The @EthioHRC is a state-run organization. The #WarOnTigray was waged by the same govt. the @@UN_HRC intends to collaborate with. Justice cannot be achieved by the entity that seeks to erase Tigrayans. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @EU_Commission @hickspeggy

2. Misinformation by state media + organizations plays a role in #WarOnTigray. Govt institutions have consistently spewed harmful narratives r.e Tigrayans & their elected government. The @USUN must recognize the danger in working alongside them. @LindaT_G @UNOCHA #TigrayGenocide

3. Reports noting @mbachelet’s agreeing to work with @EthioHRC are particularly concerning given the nature of EHRC’s involvement in falsifying the role of the Ethiopian Govt in the #WarOnTigray. We call for @UN-led investigations. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @LindaT_G @USUN

4. Had Germany been asked to investigate atrocities committed by #Hitler the Nuremberg trial would have not happened. Only @UN must investigate #TigrayGenocide & bring war criminals @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias to justice. #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @EUatUN @EUCouncil @SecBlinken

5. #UN asking @EthioHRC for joint investigations will massively impact the result of the war crime investigation on Tigray given EHRC is an entity that’s neither independent or impartial. its state funded and responds to the state. @USUN @Atayeshe @ASteinerhttps://news.yahoo.com/un-rights-chief-agrees-joint-033524783.html

6. Ethiopian proverb: “You won’t find your lost donkey, if you enlist the very thief to help you find it”. Including state-run @EthioHRC will taint the investigation. #UnOnlyForTigray @UNHumanRights @mbachelet @UNSCO_MEPP @UKUN_NewYork @GermanyUNVienna https://www.roberthjackson.org/speech-and-writing/the-influence-of-the-nuremberg-trial-on-international-criminal-law/

7. UN asking @EthioHRC’s @DanielBekele to help investigate war crimes committed in Tigray is to allow @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias Afwerki “get away with murder”. A @UN-led ONLY investigation can be credible to uncover the #TigrayGenocide. #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @UNGeneva @UNDP

8. .@EthioHRC is state funded. They can only be trusted to falsify the role of the Ethiopian Govt in the #TigrayGenocide. We ask that you do not abandon the principle of objectivity by involving this party. #UNOnlyForTigray @UN_HRC @hickspeggy @SecBlinken https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-ethiopia-rights-idUKKBN1XR0GD

9. Tigray has suffered tremendously due to #WarOnTigray. The last thing victims need is to include an entity of the Govt. in investigating the very crimes committed. We need @UN-led independent investigation. #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyForTigray @USUN @SecBlinken @LindaT_G @JoeBiden

10. It would be an insult to humanity trying to investigate crimes against humanity by including the very perpetrators of the crime in the investigation team @mbachelet. Please refrain from including @EthioHRC in the investigation body of #TigrayGenocide. @Haavisto @hickspeggy @hrw

11. This is what @DanielBekele of @EthioHRC had to say about ethnic cleansing & war crimes against humanity in Tigray. Allowing his organization to be part of the investigation is like adding salt in to the wound of Tigray. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocidehttps://twitter.com/harnet_t/status/1372554837133553668?s=20

12. When attempting to investigate the Ethiopian Govts’ human rights violations in Tigray, the @UN cannot include state-funded @EthioHRC. Their involvement compromises the integrity of the investigation, dissuades victim participation & obstructs justice! #TigrayGenocide @hickspeggy

13. The people of Tigray deserve credible & reliable investigations into the crimes waged on their lives, institutions, & land. Stop this sham of an investigation with the @EthioHRC. @UN-led independent investigations ONLY. #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyforTigray @mbachelet @USUN

14. We demand an independent @UN-led investigation, not an unreliable joint inquiry with the @EthioHRC. The Ethiopian government cannot be trusted to investigate its own crimes. This compromises the lives & integrity of the ppl of Tigray. #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyforTigray @USAmbUN

  1. .@mbachelet no deja que el EHRC sea parte de la investigación de crímenes de guerra y crimen contra la humanidad en Tigray. EHRC está dirigido por alguien fijado por el mismo Abiy Ahmed, responsable de todo esto. @JosepBorrellF @lopezobrador_ #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide

8. .@DanielBekele de @EthioHRC emitió un informe engañoso sobre los resultados de la masacre de Mai Kadra en contra de los supervivientes de la massacre la @ONU debe dar marcha atrás en su decisión de trabajar con la EHRC con tienr una reputación mala @MexOnu #UNOnlyForTigray

9. .@EthioHRC ha demostrado que no es independiente cuando investiga violaciones de derechos humanos en Etiopía y no puede formar parte de un independiente en las investigaciones de las atrocidades que han tenido lugar en Tigray. @mbachelet @MexOnu #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide

10. En los últimos 3 años, la @EthioHRC ha evitado selectivamente investigarviolaciones de los derechos humanos. Eso es parcialidad, indignación selectivay falta de confianza. La @ONU debe revertir su decisión de trabajarcon @EthioHRC. @mbachelet #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide

11. .@mbachelet le ruego a que reconsidere la inclusión de @EthioHRC como agente en la investigación de las presuntas violaciones de los D. Humanos en la guerra en Tigray que está librándose en Etiopía por convivencia con el gobierno. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @lopezobrador_

The truth about #TigrayGenocide must be revealed and it cannot be done by state-sponsored @EthioHRC.

The @UN must lead an honest & independent investigation into war crimes in Tigray without the involvement of the Ethiopian Govt. It’s a travesty to justice to silence the innocent once again by involving the perpetrators. @mbachelet @hrw #UNOnlyForTigrayhttps://www.channel4.com/news/the-horrors-of-the-hidden-war-inside-the-tigray-conflict-in-ethiopia

Calling the @UN to conduct an authentic independent investigation on war crimes committed in Tigray. It’s an insult that @_AfricanUnion & @EthioHRC were even considered. How can we trust either when they won’t even condemn #TigrayGenocide? @SecBlinken https://au.int/en/pressreleases/20210311/statement-african-union-commission-chairperson-he-moussa-faki-mahamat-meeting

Its imperative that a @UN-led investigation of Tigray does not include @AUC_MoussaFaki or @AbiyAhmedAli. These two culprits are trying to cover up the #TigrayGenocide. @mbachelet it was wrong to even consider @EthioHRC. #UNOnlyForTigray @RepGregoryMeeks https://au.int/en/pressreleases/20210311/statement-african-union-commission-chairperson-he-moussa-faki-mahamat-meeting

The @_AfricanUnion has failed Tigray. @AUC_MoussaFaki needs to be investigated for his failure to condemn a war. He & @achpr_cadhp have blood on their hands & should never be considered to jointly investigate Tigray. #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @LindaT_Ghttps://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2020-12-21/african-union-says-ethiopia-acted-legitimately-in-tigray

In its ethnically-biased reports, @EthioHRC fails to interview Tigrayan victims. It’s not an accident @DanielBekele has echoed the state narrative that criminalizes refugees and blames survivors & victims. The agency is biased. #UNOnlyForTigray@LindaT_G https://twitter.com/getachew_temare/status/1371202765096124416/video/1

Due to @DanielBekele’s ethnic-bias, @EthioHRC didn’t investigate the #MaikadraMassacre that countless reports and human reports have revealed.

The ethnic cleansing in Tigray was not investigated by @EthioHRC despite sending a team to the affected areas. The team interviews the perpetrators instead of survivors. Its involvement will derail credible UN-led investigations.@LindaT_G #UNOnlyForTigray https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/world/middleeast/ethiopia-tigray-ethnic-cleansing.html

The reason Ethiopian government officials & pro-government supporters endorse @EthioHRC is because they’re confident @DanielBekele is biased in their favor.

Ethiopia took “legitimate” military action in Tigray to preserve unity & stability, said @AUC_MoussaFaki. Now he’s expressing involvement in a Tigray probe. @UN read between the lines.
