3. It is universal law that the Ethiopian govt has a responsibility to protect heritage found within the country’s boundaries. However, a state policy is spearheading a #TigrayHeritageCleansing occupation. #WorldHeritageDay @IIC_ @UN_HRC @IcomOfficiel https://theconversation.com/ethiopias-war-in-tigray-risks-wiping-out-centuries-of-the-worlds-history-179829

5. Ancient manuscripts and artifacts looted from Tigray were listed for sale online. To erase an ethnic group’s identity + uproot them from their land is cultural genocide.

9. The world said ‘never again’ to genocide, but the int’l community fails to take action to end #TigrayGenocide. Not only do millions face an imminent death but Tigray’s heritage is at risk. #TigrayHeritageCleansing #WorldHeritageDay @ArmeniaUN @PaulKagame https://www.tghat.com/2022/03/15/ethiopian-and-allied-forces-looted-3000-vellum-books-and-300-crosses-from-waldebba-monastery-of-tigray/?amp=1&fbclid=IwAR0tQEZq5mnjkumsAbGZjKZuPkwQpRr1txfBOqriFEMnKYlrEfJpYdjmm-o

11. #TigrayHeritageCleansing is still active. Invading Ethiopian and Eritrean forces continue to loot, damage, and destroy Tigray’s history.

12. Concrete action must be taken by the int’l community to end #TigrayGenocide, but joint forces are rehearsing for a full re-occupation of Tigray which will only add another layer of #TigrayHeritageCleansing. #WorldHeritageDay @AAzoulay @SteGiannini @IIC_ https://globenewsnet.com/culture-language/heritages/heritage-and-history-cleansing-in-tigray-international-organizations-overlooked/

6. “The intended effect is to erase people’s attachment to the land, uprooting them not only physically, but psychologically. Destroying religious sites is a powerful instrument in this approach.”#TigrayHeritageCleansing #WorldHeritageDay @blackvoices @NAACP https://africanarguments.org/2021/03/tigray-why-are-soldiers-attacking-religious-heritage-sites/

#GenocideAwarenessMonth Pt. 1

1. “Nowhere on earth are people more at risk than Tigray,” says the @WHO chief. The people of Tigray need consistent unfettered access, not empty promises delivered by the Ethiopian govt. #GenocideAwarenessMonth #TigrayGenocide @IntlCrimCourt @EUAmbUS @USUN https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/mar/23/trying-to-survive-millions-in-tigray-face-hunger-as-they-wait-in-vain-for-aid

 

2. Tigrayans face 400% increases in food prices, all while they have been denied access to their bank accounts by the Ethiopian govt. Restoring banks and communications immediately is essential. #GenocideAwarenessMonth #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @UN_HRC https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/mar/23/trying-to-survive-millions-in-tigray-face-hunger-as-they-wait-in-vain-for-aid

 

3. The Ethiopian government refuses to allow humanitarian aid to millions in famine in Tigray.

4. .@UNHumanRights signed The Genocide Convention treaty as a commitment to ‘never again’ allow genocide, yet the int’l community is failing to end the #TigrayGenocide. This is a grave injustice. #GenocideAwarenessMonth @R2PCoalition @CrisisGroup @GCR2P
https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide-convention.shtml

 

5. If the International community is serious about honoring #GenocideAwarenessMonth then world leaders must take meaningful action to end genocide, including #TigrayGenocide. Enough is enough.@UNGeneva @antonioguterres @mbachelet @USAmbUN @intalert
https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/mar/23/trying-to-survive-millions-in-tigray-face-hunger-as-they-wait-in-vain-for-aid

 

6. Tigrayans are being forced to flee their homes and threatened with death if they stay. The int’l community must stop standing idle as #TigrayGenocide unfolds.

7. There has been a genocide taking place in Tigray and mainstream media has failed to actively shed a light on it.

8. The Int’l community turns a blind eye as Abiy Ahmed delivers empty promises. His so-called “humanitarian truce” is only helping him prolong the war. When will you take action to stop #TigrayGenocide? @IntlCrimCourt @KarimKhanQC #GenocideAwarenessMonth
https://www.africanews.com/2022/03/30/despite-humanitarian-truce-in-tigray-millions-still-wait-for-aid/

 

9. If global leaders continue to fail to stop #TigrayGenocide, then they are complicit. Abiy Ahmed has not once been genuine about peace talks. It’s time to call him out and save the people of Tigray. #GenocideAwarenessMonth @SecBlinken @USAmbUN @USUN
https://www.hrw.org/report/2022/04/06/we-will-erase-you-land/crimes-against-humanity-and-ethnic-cleansing-ethiopias#

 

10. Both Abiy Ahmed & Isaias Afwerki have shown the world their true colors by defending Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine. It’s time for the world to hold these dictators accountable for #TigrayGenocide. #GenocideAwarenessMonth @NBCNews @TODAYshow @BuzzFeedNews
https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/03/23/ethiopia-tigray-russia-ukraine-abiy-putin-human-rights-abuses/

 

11. There is no humanitarian truce if aid is not moving across Tigray to save millions of lives. The int’l community is choosing to turn a blind eye while Abiy Ahmed leverages his next move. @EU_Commission @ArmeniaUN #GenocideAwarenessMonth #TigrayGenocide https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/apr/06/tigray-has-been-the-scene-of-ethnic-cleansing-say-human-rights-groups?s=04

 

12. “Many of the principles that Blinken enunciated regarding Russian aggression in Ukraine also apply perfectly to the conflict in the Ethiopian region of Tigray.” So why is the world ignoring these black lives? @violadavis @rihanna #GenocideAwarenessMonth

3. Despite @SecBlinken stating ethnic cleansing had been committed in Tigray, @AsstSecStateAF told Congress that #TigrayGenocide investigation findings won’t be public to allow space for peace talks. The US must hold genocidaires accountable! @blackvoices

4. The people of Tigray are suffering a humanitarian crisis that is entirely man-made. Evidence shows that intentional starvation is systematic and widespread. Hunger is being weaponized. #TigrayGenocide #GenocideAwarenessMonth @Blavity @Complex @theGrio https://sites.tufts.edu/wpf/starving-tigray/

 

5. “You Tigrayans should disappear from the land west of the Tekeze River. You’re evil & we are purifying your blood,” a militia member said as he raped a Tigrayan woman.

#GenocideAwarenessMonth Pt. 3

1. The Ethiopian government assures the ICC that it will honor the truce, yet very little aid has reached Tigray where millions face famine. Abiy Ahmed must be held to account. #GenocideAwarenessMonth#TigrayGenocide @Niger_ONU @PmTunisia @VietNam_UN @SVG_UN https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/tigray-remains-without-aid-despite-humanitarian-truce/

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/13/who-chief-tedros-ukraine-ethiopia-tigray

 

3. In 2022, the Ethiopian govt’s genocide against the people of Tigray is met with total impunity.

5. The Ethiopian govt’s weaponization of food is a threat to millions of lives. A similar strategy was used by the 1985 Derg regime to stop aid convoys from entering western Tigray via Sudan. Why is @ABCWorldNews not reporting on this? #GenocideAwarenessMonth https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/04/06/crimes-against-humanity-and-ethnic-cleansing-ethiopias-western-tigray-zone

 

6. Too often we realize genocide is happening once it’s too late. In the case of #TigrayGenocide, the int’l community acted too slowly to prevent it but it’s not too late to end it. Act now to save lives! #GenocideAwarenessMonth @EU_Commission @eu_echo

9. A 72-year-old farmer said: “They [Amhara militia guards] kept telling us that Tigrayans deserve to be starved … to death.” How long will we allow the #TigrayGenocide to continue? #GenocideAwarenessMonth @VDombrovskis @VeraJourova @MarosSefcovic @FAO
https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/04/06/ethiopia-crimes-against-humanity-western-tigray-zone

 

10. How is it that a full-blown genocide is allowed to continue today?

11. Global systems meant to prevent genocides continue to fail African people. Tigray has been under siege by the Ethiopian govt & absolutely nothing is being done to end the #TigrayGenocide. #GenocideAwarenessMonth @AminaJMohammed @StanleyConnect @WCAPSnet https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/04/06/crimes-against-humanity-and-ethnic-cleansing-ethiopias-western-tigray-zone#

https://tinyurl.com/4zc2m9km

 

7. The @IntlCrimCourt has emboldened Abiy Ahmed to prolong #TigrayGenocide with impunity, as he delivers empty promises of a truce. Int’l leaders must understand how they are complicit with genocide. #GenocideAwarenessMonth @JanezLenarcic @SecBlinken

4. Despite continuous pleas to #AllowAccessToTigray, all routes to the region remain deliberately closed by Ethiopian & Eritrean forces.

7. Since July 2021, millions of people in #Tigray have been under a de facto blockade imposed by the Ethiopian government. Less than 10% of the required food aid has made it to Tigray. The world must call on Ethiopia to #AllowAccessToTigray! @EU_Commission

https://twitter.com/TghatMedia/status/1441852217703600129?s=20

6. Starvation is being used as a weapon of war on millions of Tigrayans by the Ethiopian govt. Yet, the int’l community focuses all their attention on Ukraine and continues to fail Tigray for over a year. #AllowAccessToTigray @ObamaFoundation @Trevornoah

5. It has been 100 days since aid delivery trucks were permitted into #Tigray. Blocked access by #Ethiopia|n and allied forces, rather than insufficient supply, prevents millions in the region from getting much-needed aid. #AllowAccessToTigray @WhiteHouse https://www.bbc.com/news/57929853

6. “About half a million children are estimated to be lacking food in #Tigray, including more than 115,000 severely malnourished.” #Ethiopia’s continued siege will only worsen food insecurity in the coming months. #AllowAccessToTigray @UNICEFUSA @UNICEF_uk https://www.bbc.com/news/57929853

7. “No aid trucks have successfully delivered aid to #Tigray since mid-December.” Consequently, aid agencies have been forced to transport by air, which is more costly and delivers minimal supplies. Road access must be permitted. #AllowAccessToTigray @MexOnu https://www.bbc.com/news/57929853

#500DaysOfTigrayGenocide Pt. 3

1. Ethiopian & Eritrean troops along with Amhara militias, have weaponized rape against 120,000+ Tigrayan women + girls. These victims have no access to medical care due to the siege.

2. Compassion is being selectively demonstrated by the media. Not only are most media outlets not reporting on Tigray, but when they do their language is biased. This is irresponsible and unacceptable. #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide @NBCNews @TODAYshow @ABChttps://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/mar/17/nowhere-on-earth-are-people-more-at-risk-than-tigray-says-who-chief

9. Issues of gender are fundamental to the experience of genocide. Over 120,000 women + girls have been raped, mutilated, & forced into slavery. Int’l leaders must persecute those committing these crimes. #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide @unwomenchief @endrapeinwar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnQmwj9_P5o

You must take action. #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @StateDept https://staging-omnatigray.com/telecommunications-and-internet-blackout-in-ethiopia-tigray-region/

12. The US sanctioned Russia & @POTUS called Putin a “war criminal” for actions in Ukraine. In Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed waged #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide yet there hasn’t been a similar response.

5. While Tigrayans in Italy are mourning #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide, @MarinaSereni of @ItalyMFA continues to fund @AbiyAhmedAli’s genocidal regime by signing new economic agreements with Ethiopia.

8. Yet another wicked choice by @MarinaSereni! On top of stipulating new economic deals with Ethiopia, after #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide; she also has the nerve to meet with @DemekeHasen, the instigator of genocide. @ItalyMFA is run by criminals. @repubblica https://twitter.com/ItalyinEthiopia/status/1498332044174241797

9. For #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide civilians have been imprisoned, gang-raped, bombed, burned, drowned & murdered by @PMEthiopia.

#IWD2022 Pt. 1

1. As we celebrate women on this day, it’s just as important to highlight the injustices women are facing globally. In the Tigray region of Ethiopia, women are forced to choose between death or rape by invading soldiers. #IWD2022 #Justice4TigrayWomen @USUN https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-ethiopia-conflict-rape-idUSKBN29S0BG

2. As we celebrate #IWD2022, let’s remember to seek #Justice4TigrayWomen. Millions of women in the Tigray have been fighting for more than a year to survive a horrific genocide. What’s being done to save them? @mbachelet @Atayeshe @ahunnaeziakonwa https://sites.tufts.edu/reinventingpeace/2021/08/10/what-rape-as-a-weapon-of-war-in-tigray-really-means/

3. On #IWD2022, survivors of gang rape in Tigray have no access to STI/HIV testing & treatment. Credible reports show soldiers intentionally spread HIV to women and girls. #Justice4TigrayWomen @Winnie_Byanyima @NetworkAthena @ICWEastAfrica @MakeWomenCount https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/women-and-girls/make-hiv-positive-hundreds-women-rush-tigray-hospitals-soldiers/

5. It’s heartbreaking to see mothers in war-zones commit suicide to avoid watching their children die from starvation.

6. Today we remember Akberet, who was forced to flee Humera with her 3 sons. She was brutally raped by Amhara militia and told “a Tigrayan womb should never give birth.” ​​Will you be a voice for women like her? #IWD2022 #Justice4TigrayWomen @WILPF @UNOSAPG https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/21/a-tigrayan-womb-should-never-give-birth-rape-in-ethiopia-tigray

8. How can the int’l community continue to enable the genocidal siege imposed on Tigray, where SGBV survivors are languishing without access to critical post rape care? #IWD2022 #Justice4TigrayWomen #BreakTheBias @endrapeinwar @unwomenafrica @UNAIDS @UNFPA https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/11/09/ethiopia-blocking-tigray-aid-harms-rape-survivors

9. The siege on Tigray by the Ethiopian govt has prolonged pain for rape survivors, as they are denied critical medical & psychosocial support. Why hasn’t the @IntlCrimCourt taken proper action to deliver #Justice4TigrayWomen? @KarimKhanQC #BreakTheBias https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/11/09/ethiopia-blocking-tigray-aid-harms-rape-survivors

10. This #IWD2022 we don’t want statements of concern, we want action! Women in Tigray are being starved, raped, and killed while the world has turned a blind eye. The int’l community must take action. #Justice4TigrayWomen @mbachelet @LindaT_G @unicefchief https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2021/12/8/how-international-bodies-can-help-prevent-more-Ethiopia-massacres

11. The deliberate destruction of health systems has made life unbearable for millions of women and girls in Tigray. Survivors have no access to emergency contraception, abortions or any medical support. #IWD2022 #Justice4TigrayWomen @FIGOHQ @PMNCH @LSHTM https://www.devex.com/news/tigray-the-deliberate-destruction-of-a-health-system-102252

12. Civilians must always have the right to escape war & seek refuge. Ethiopia continues to block aid from millions of innocent women & girls. Their bodies have become battlefields. #Justice4TigrayWomen #IWD2022 #BreakTheBias @Jenkinsbd @Interview_Her @ippf https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-ethiopia-conflict-rape-idUSKBN29S0BG

13. Ethiopia & Eritrea must stop blocking aid. Tigray has been cut off from the rest of world, leaving survivors of weaponized rape without access to proper medical treatment. It’s time to deliver #Justice4TigrayWomen and girls. #IWD2022 @UN_Women @UNICEF https://sites.tufts.edu/reinventingpeace/2021/08/10/what-rape-as-a-weapon-of-war-in-tigray-really-means/

14. “Testimony provides evidence of rapes occurring in victims’ homes in front of their families. They were dragged out & raped in public.” Women are still living in fear. We demand #Justice4TigrayWomen. #IWD2022 #BreakTheBias @SecBlinken @UN_Women @UNICEF https://sites.tufts.edu/reinventingpeace/2021/08/10/what-rape-as-a-weapon-of-war-in-tigray-really-means/

15. Last year @SirMarkLowcock said “there is no doubt that sexual violence is being used in this conflict as a weapon of war.” Victims have still not received proper medical care due to the siege. @HeikoMaas @MFAofArmenia #IWD2022 #Justice4TigrayWomen https://tinyurl.com/mvtxzbkv

16. As ethnic cleansing continues in Ethiopia, the Tigray Bureau of Health reported that 120,000 women & girls were raped in Tigray by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces. These victims deserve justice. #Justice4TigrayWomen #IWD2022 @IntlCrimCourt @unwomenchief https://aje.io/sbnk9z

#IWD2022 Pt. 2

2. The physical pain is a constant reminder of the terror survivors endured from invading troops. The bleeding, back pain, immobility and fistula. Global leaders must actively seek #Justice4TigrayWomen and get medical aid into Tigray. #IWD2022 @WHO @UN_HRC https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/08/ethiopia-troops-and-militia-rape-abduct-women-and-girls-in-tigray-conflict-new-report/

4. Weaponized rape will have a lasting impact on Tigrayan society, and will effect generations to come. The @UN mandated investigation needs to happen as soon as possible. @UNHumanRights @mbachelet @antonioguterres @unwomenchief #IWD2022 #Justice4TigrayWomen https://sites.tufts.edu/reinventingpeace/2021/08/10/what-rape-as-a-weapon-of-war-in-tigray-really-means/

5. .@AbiyAhmedAli is terrorizing women in Tigray with his deadly siege on the region. SGBV victims aged 6-80 are forced to deal with trauma without the psychosocial support they require.

8. Gang rape, sexual slavery, sexual mutilation and torture have been perpetrated by Ethiopian, Eritrean and Amhara forces.

9. “They raped me one after the other… I don’t know if they realized I was pregnant. I don’t know if they realized I was a person.” Tragic accounts of survivors. #Justice4TigrayWomen #IWD2022 #BreakTheBias @NLWomensrights @UNHumanRights @unwomenafrica https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/08/ethiopia-troops-and-militia-rape-abduct-women-and-girls-in-tigray-conflict-new-report/

10. During the genocidal war in Tigray, many atrocities were committed by Ethiopian, Eritrean & Amhara forces. Among the most heinous were the reports of rape & sexual violence. This #IWD2022 ensure #Justice4TigrayWomen! @VP @DicarloRosemary @SamanthaJPower
https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2021/12/8/how-international-bodies-can-help-prevent-more-Ethiopia-massacres

11. In Ethiopia, one’s ethnic identity is based upon their father’s ethnicity. Weaponized rape by Ethiopian & Eritrean troops is intended to ensure that children born from these assaults will not be seen as Tigrayan. #Justice4TigrayWomen @UNOSAPG @GAAMAC_org https://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-minority-ethnic-cleansing-sudan-world-news-842741eebf9bf0984946619c0fc15023

12. Children were not spared from merciless Ethiopian & Eritrean troops. They were raped with objects, beaten, denied assistance for their injuries, and held captive in sexual slavery. #Justice4TigrayWomen #IWD2022 @gnwp_gnwp @ippf @nadiainitiative https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/08/ethiopia-troops-and-militia-rape-abduct-women-and-girls-in-tigray-conflict-new-report/

13. Survivors were savagely raped in front of family members. Victims still need psychological support. Health facilities across Tigray still need restoration after invading troops have left them destroyed. #Justice4TigrayWomen #IWD2022 @ASteiner @Atayeshe https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/08/ethiopia-troops-and-militia-rape-abduct-women-and-girls-in-tigray-conflict-new-report/

14. Why have world leaders ignored the cries of women and girls suffering from weaponized rape? On #IWD2022, we are still pleading for the @UN Security Council to take meaningful steps to get aid into Tigray. #Justice4TigrayWomen. @KenyaMissionUN @USAmbUN https://apnews.com/article/africa-180f41945ae512e8170ca05b0cc65540

15. The siege in Tigray means that tens of thousands of rape victims have no access to medical treatment. Many are raising children without even being able to provide food. How much more will the world allow them to suffer? #Justice4TigrayWomen #IWD2022 @unwomenchief @PowerUSAID

16. Weaponized rape by Ethiopian and Eritrean troops on Tigrayan women has destroyed thousands of families, and will cause generational trauma. Bring perpetrators to justice. @ASteiner @UNReliefChief @KarimKhanQC @USAmbUN #IWD2022 #Justice4TigrayWomen https://tinyurl.com/2rkt35zw

8. The specific use of rape by Ethiopia & Eritrean troops as a weapon of war have shown to be deliberate.

#AUEUSummit Pt. 1

1. Ethiopia should be condemning ethnic profiling, internments & killings of Tigrayans, but instead @PMEthiopia is encouraging it. The Int’l community must hold him accountable for #TigrayGenocide. #AUEUSummit @_AfricanUnion @vonderleyen @JosepBorrellF https://garoweonline.com/en/world/africa/abiy-ahmed-calling-on-africa-to-turn-blind-eye-on-tigray-genocide-getachew-reda

2. The Int’l community has failed to stop the siege on Tigray imposed by @PMEthiopia.

3. Blocking humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable is a violation of Int’l law. We challenge leaders to use the #AUEUSummit to find solutions. It’s time for meaningful action to save lives. #TigrayGenocide @NathalieLoiseau @davidmcallister @tomastobe https://www.dw.com/en/ethiopia-at-crossroads-as-drone-attacks-worsen-tigray-crisis/a-60418585

4. Millions of Tigrayans are in desperate need of humanitarian aid but NGOs are denied access. It is an insult + a waste of time to voice concerns but not take appropriate action to stop #TigrayGenocide. #AUEUSummit @JosepBorrellF @UNGeneva @EUSR_Weber https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/01/1109802

5. Protection and unhindered humanitarian access to the most vulnerable in Tigray must be granted. Int’l leaders must make this matter a top priority at the #AUEUSummit. #TigrayGenocide @IDiplomatico @vonderleyen @VeraJourova @ABaerbock @DanishMFA @GreeceMFA https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/01/1109802

6. Abiy Ahmed’s deliberate policy of weaponizing hunger, is a violation of int’l human rights law and contradicts the values of the #AUEUSummit. His participation must be condemned. #TigrayGenocide @Mariearenaps @BelgiumUN @AUC_MoussaFaki @EU_Commission https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/15/world/africa/ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-nobel-war.html

7. “As we often say, we support ‘African solutions to African problems’. It is urgent, now, to find these solutions.’” -@JosepBorrellF So when will the @_AfricanUnion be held responsible to actually find a solution? #AUEUSummit #TigrayGenocide @UN_HRC https://clubofmozambique.com/news/eu-concern-over-ethiopia-war-crime-reports-182184/

8.

9. How can the @_AfricanUnion continue to allow Africans to be profiled, tortured, and just vanish into concentration camps? Will these leaders finally provide solutions at the #AUEUSummit? @AUC_MoussaFaki @PaulKagame @ChristelSassou @EUtoAU @EU_Commission https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-they-just-vanished-tigrayans-disappear-for-months-in-secret-ethiopian/

10. Food, aid, & medical supplies have been blocked from entering Tigray by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces, as well as Afar forces. The #AUEUSummit must pressure Ethiopia to allow aid to all parts of Tigray. @jlprdeangola @PatriceTalonPR @UK_AfricanUnion https://news.yahoo.com/aid-operations-tigray-largely-reduced-200438734.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw&tsrc=twtr

11. After alternating between silence & empty warnings over #TigrayGenocide, int’l leaders appear to be siding with perpetrators instead of victims. The fascists are emboldened & ethnic cleansing is escalating in parts of Tigray. #AUEUSummit @EU_Commission https://omnatigray.org/situation-report-february-2022/

12. The #AUEUSummit must prioritize humanity. Tigray is being denied basic services. AU and EU leaders must push for unfettered access of food + aid, restoration of telecommunications + banking services across Tigray. @AUChair2020 @AmbMuchanga @JosefaSacko https://www.devex.com/news/tigray-the-deliberate-destruction-of-a-health-system-102252

13. “More than 300 civilians have been killed by drone and airstrikes since last September, including more than 100 since the start of this year.” Hold drone suppliers accountable! #AUEUSummit #TigrayGenocide #AbiytoICC @EstoniaUN @franceonu @GermanyUN https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/interactive/2022/ethiopia-tigray-dedebit-drone-strike/

14. Ethiopia’s use of Turkish made drones is exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Tigray and further destabilizing the Horn.

#AUEUSummit Pt. 2

1. UNOCHA reports that, “1,339 trucks have entered the Tigray region from Semera since July 12, and this “represents about 9% … of the humanitarian needs in Tigray.” Ethiopia should be sanctioned for aid blockade. @luigidimaio @ItalyMFA #AUEUSummit https://news.yahoo.com/aid-operations-tigray-largely-reduced-200438734.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw&tsrc=twtr

2. Ethiopia committed mass killings, sexual violence and military targeting of civilians. The #AUEUSummit must call out Ethiopia’s barbaric crimes against humanity.

3. The @_AfricanUnion + African members of the @UN Security Council are failing Tigray.

4. The @AfricanUnion must stop the Genocidal war that Abiy Ahmed has waged on Tigray. How can African leaders stand by and praise him while he is killing his own people + making a mockery of Pan Africanism? #AUEUSummit @AUC_PAPS @CyrilRamaphosa @UNOAU https://garoweonline.com/en/world/africa/abiy-ahmed-calling-on-africa-to-turn-blind-eye-on-tigray-genocide-getachew-reda

5. An objective of the @_AfricanUnion is to “promote the unity & solidarity of the African States” and instead they’ve escalated tensions in the Horn of Africa. The AU must be held accountable for its role in #TigrayGenocide. #AUEUSummit @AUC_MoussaFaki @PaulKagame @EU_Commission

6. The #AUEUSummit must include a meaningful discussion on #TigrayGenocide. The systematic destruction carried out by invading Eritrean & Ethiopian troops has collapsed the health system. @eucopresident @JuttaUrpilainen @vestager @EamonGilmore @dreynders https://www.ethiopia-insight.com/2022/01/26/data-shows-siege-and-destruction-of-health-system-are-causing-preventable-deaths-in-tigray/

8. Ethiopia’s use of drones in its war with the Tigray region has recently killed more than 300 civilians. @EUCouncil should hold drone suppliers accountable for their role in #TigrayGenocide. #AUEUSummit @magdalenaeandersson @charlesmichel @vonderleyen https://www.politico.eu/article/evidence-civilian-bombing-ethiopia-turkish-drone/

9. Turkey could be held directly liable if drone strikes against civilians are consistent.

10. Ethiopia’s use of drones has caused increased destruction in Tigray & has recently left hundreds dead.

11. Per @UNOCHA, the de-facto blockade of Tigray has prevented delivery of aid to millions facing famine. As major donors, EU members must enforce humanitarian aid delivery. #AUEUSummit #TigrayGenocide #AbiytoICC @MFAofArmenia @MFA_Austria @MFABulgaria https://news.yahoo.com/aid-operations-tigray-largely-reduced-200438734.html

12. “The @_AfricanUnion is less effective at 20 than it was at two.” If int’l leaders are truly ‘concerned’ about Tigray, then the #AUEUSummit must be used to properly discuss matters. The AU needs to have solutions to save Tigray. @EUCouncil @StateDept https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2022/02/12/the-african-union-is-less-effective-at-20-than-it-was-at-two

13. “The Ethiopian govt’s systematic blocking of humanitarian trucks and fuel from entering Tigray exacerbates the famine in Tigray as partners cannot distribute supplies to those in need.” Hold @PMEthiopia accountable. @EUCouncil #TigrayGenocide #AUEUSummit https://omnatigray.org/situation-report-february-2022/

14. The @_AfricanUnion and @igadsecretariat have only proven to be working with @PMEthiopia to starve the people of Tigray. @AUC_MoussaFaki & @DrWorkneh must take proper action to stop #TigrayGenocide. #AUEUSummit @EU_Commission @EUSR_Weber @vestager @EUtoAU https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/extreme-lack-food-ethiopias-tigray-82528521

3. Last July, @JanezLenarcic reported on how the siege prevented aid workers from entering Tigray, and that the growing atrocities may amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. Will the #AUEUSummit bring #AbiytoICC? @Europarl_EN @Bankole_Adeoye https://euobserver.com/world/152370

4. A year ago, the EU began taking measures to pressure Ethiopia to allow humanitarian access into Tigray. However, the cruel siege has only intensified.

If the int’l community is truly concerned about Ethiopia’s fate, then leaders must pressure the regime to end the siege on Tigray, #WithdrawEritreanTroops, and come to a genuine inclusive dialogue with Tigray’s govt. @EU_Commission @StateDept @UN_HRC https://theconversation.com/eritrea-is-involved-in-tigray-to-boost-its-stature-why-the-strategy-could-backfire-175591

15. Eritrea’s disproportionately violent and inhumane occupation in Tigray has intensified the conflict at the expense of Ethiopia. The int’l community needs to enforce a verifiable withdrawal of troops. #WithdrawEritreanTroops @KenyaMissionUN @VietNam_UN https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/ethiopia-s-rebellious-tigray-party-accuses-eritrea-of-attacking-its-forces/47248766

16. Eritrea’s Isaias Afewerki played a central role in the genocidal war against Tigray, and his agenda comes at the expense of Ethiopia’s stability and peace.

17. Even after continued pressure from the UN to withdraw, Eritrean troops remain occupying parts of Tigray leaving civilians in fear.

#HumanRightsDay2021 Pt. 1

1. TPS is a vital foreign policy tool demonstrating to the world that the US will not return people to conditions where their lives are at risk. @SecMayorkas & @SecBlinken, on #HumanRightsDay, designate TPS to ensure safety to those at risk. #Justice4Tigray https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60b79f3630f94f1039bd0125/t/610af43b0e40a35d46c8725c/1628107835347/Ethiopia+TPS+request_TPS+DED+AAC_August+4+2021+%286%29.pdf

2. TPS could protect up to 30K in the US from deportation to life-threatening conflict and famine in Ethiopia. This is exactly the kind of humanitarian protection TPS was meant for. @POTUS @SecMayorkas must act NOW. #HumanRightsDay #Justice4Tigray https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ethiopias-tigray-conflict-deepens-ethnic-rifts/ar-AARBj4E

3. The 2021 #HumanRightsDay slogan is “All human, All equal”. Yet, the Int’l community has ignored the state-sanctioned genocide of Tigrayans for over a year. If all human lives are equal, then Tigrayan lives must be protected. #Justice4Tigray @USAmbUN @USUN @WFPChief @StateDept

4. Equality is the focus of #HumanRightsDay 2021. Yet, the people of #Tigray have been subjected to massacres, famine, ethnic cleansing, SGBV & a brutal siege. Where is the outrage and concern for Black Tigrayan Lives? #Justice4Tigray @mbachelet @antonioguterres @FilippoGrandi

5. For more than a year, millions of Tigrayans have endured severe human rights violations, including SGBV. @UNHumanRights must conduct independent investigations of ALL atrocities. #HumanRightsDay #Justice4Tigray @UNReliefChief @unwomenchief @UN_Women https://inews.co.uk/news/world/tigray-rape-crisis-workers-blockade-treat-survivors-1339254

6. Tens of thousands of women, girls, men and boys in Tigray have been subjected to weaponized sexual violence in Tigray. Rape has been used as a weapon of war.

7. In Tigray, over 6 million are in desperate need of food aid, nearly a million are in famine and millions more are on the brink. The @IntlCrimCourt must act to stop these human rights violations! #HumanRightsDay #Justice4Tigray @UNICEFCHIEF @trussliz @ministerBZ @GermanyDiplo

8. If “all human, all equal” is true, the world must affirm that Tigrayan lives matter by recognizing the state-sanctioned #TigrayGenocide. #HumanRightsDay #Justice4Tigray @RepKarenBass @IlhanMN @KenyaMissionUN @Niger_ONU @PmTunisia @StateDept @USAmbUN https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/11/08/ethiopia-international-action-needed-prevent-atrocities

11. .@StateDept must urge @UN to conduct a special session & investigate the gut-wrenching reports of atrocities committed in Tigray.

12. “We saw women treated like animals, gang raped…in public…in front of their families; kept as sex slaves…and left for dead…The trauma is for the whole family, and the society at large.” #HumanRightsDay #Justice4Tigray @Ilhan @RepBera @RepKarenBass @VP https://inews.co.uk/news/world/tigray-rape-crisis-workers-blockade-treat-survivors-1339254

13. “We were 250 detainees. The Amhara forces take detainees every night and bring new ones. The ones they take never come back.” This is just one of countless testimonies of ethnic cleansing. @RepGregoryMeeks @SenSchumer #HumanRightsDay #Justice4Tigray https://www.businessinsider.com/ethiopia-ethnic-tigrayans-put-into-concentration-camps-reports-say-2021-9

12. “They beat us every day, They harass and threaten to execute us.” In the year 2021, Ethiopia has resorted to mass arresting and using concentration camps on civilians solely due to their ethnicity! @Ilhan @RonWyden #HumanRightsDay #Justice4Tigray https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-they-just-vanished-tigrayans-disappear-for-months-in-secret-ethiopian/

2. Over 50 NGOs have called for a resolution & independent monitoring mechanism to halt & prevent pushbacks, human rights violations, & disregard for life at borders. @UN_HRC must uphold its mission & act now! #HumanRightsDay #Justice4Tigray @UNHumanRights https://www.refugeesinternational.org/reports/2021/6/23/human-rights-council-51-groups-urge-action-on-global-pattern-of-pushbacks-and-expulsions

6. The people of Tigray have been subjected to gender-based violence, a man-made famine, ethnic cleansing, and other grave human rights abuses. The @UN_HRC must end their silence and hold perpetrators accountable. #Justice4Tigray #HumanRightsDay @GermanyDiplo @dfatirl @MFAofArmenia

7. The crisis in Ethiopia is a “stain on our conscience,” the @UNReliefChief said, as children and others starve to death in the Tigray region under what the @UN has called a de facto government blockade of food, medical supplies and fuel. #HumanRightsDay https://apnews.com/article/africa-health-united-nations-only-on-ap-famine-a2b1639797c2a31973ce12985d82b865

10. The crisis in Ethiopia is not only a threat there, but to Black immigrants that face deportation. President Biden, you must keep your promises of racial equity and a better future for Black immigrants. Grant TPS to save lives! #HumanRightsDay @POTUS https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/17/world/africa/ethiopia-tigrayan-detention.html

11. The US has warned Embassy staff in Ethiopia to leave due to the ongoing war, yet they plan to deport Black immigrants there. @SecMayorkas must designate TPS to ensure Ethiopians in the US aren’t forcibly returned. #HumanRightsDay #Justice4Tigray @DHSgov https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60b79f3630f94f1039bd0125/t/610af43b0e40a35d46c8725c/1628107835347/Ethiopia+TPS+request_TPS+DED+AAC_August+4+2021+%286%29.pdf

4. It’s clear that @AbiyAhmedAli has decided against peace. We ask that @UNHumanRights hold a special session to discuss atrocities in Tigray. This must be taken seriously! #Justice4Tigray #HumanRightsDay @mbachelet @antonioguterres @FilippoGrandi @UN https://www.theafricareport.com/149787/ethiopias-abiy-from-peace-prize-to-frontline-fighter/?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=post_articles_twitter_24_11_2021&utm_medium=social

5. The sexual violence during #TigrayGenocide is also perpetrated against men & boys & includes mutilation of reproductive and sexual organ parts.

8. A government that weaponizes food and rape cannot be assigned with investigating its own crimes. It’s critical that a @UN session is held to discuss #Justice4Tigray, then action must follow. #HumanRightsDay @RauZbigniew @PolandMFA @MSZ_RP @DmytroKuleba https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/11/09/i-always-remember-day/access-services-survivors-gender-based-violence-ethiopias

10. “Insecurity, deeply rooted social stigma, & the lack of functioning healthcare facilities mean that the actual number of cases of sexual violence far exceeds the no. reported.” How will @UN_HRC take measures to @endrapeinwar? #HumanRightsDay #AskBachelet https://www.hrw.org/report/2021/11/09/i-always-remember-day/access-services-survivors-gender-based-violence-ethiopias

12. “Eritrean troops committed heinous killings in Axum with wanton disregard for civilian lives.” If the @UN has a responsibility to protect civilians, what stops them from taking action to end a genocide? #AskBachelet #HumanRightsDay #Justice4Tigray @UN_HRC https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/03/05/ethiopia-eritrean-forces-massacre-tigray-civilians

14. Ethiopian authorities have “unlawfully” blocked food & aid from entering Tigray. This is after months of committing massacres, burning farmland & looting food storages throughout the region. This must end now! @BernieSanders @MarkWarner #HumanRightsDay https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/11/08/ethiopia-international-action-needed-prevent-atrocities
