#HumeraMassacre Pt. 4

1. The crimes we’re hearing about are unfathomable. “Some had been struck with an axe.” When will France take significant action? When will world leaders demonstrate that they are genuinely concerned? #HumeraMassacre @Elysee @francediplo_EN @eu_echo https://reut.rs/3rPpJ0J

2. Black lives must matter everywhere. Sound the alarm and push for action on #TigrayGenocide! Recently over 40 corpses of Tigrayans have washed up on the Sudanese river banks. This genocide must be stopped. #HumeraMassacre @Elysee @francediplo_EN @hrw https://nyti.ms/3fNkgTe

6. The Ethiopian Govt continues to punish innocent Tigrayans through food blockades and massacres as a military strategy, because they are unable to defeat TDF on the battlefield. The world cannot keep turning away from these crimes against humanity. #HumeraMassacre @UNGeneva

7. “Doctors who saw the bodies pulled out from the river said some had tattoos or facial markings common among Tigrayans, raising fresh alarm about atrocities in the least-known area of the Tigray war.” #HumeraMassacre @hrw @WorldPeaceFdtn @PalomaUnicef https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-africa-sudan-3b866cb14f778468374b11e480f9e9e7

4. ETH to execute Tigrayan ENDF members after framing them as “traitors” for not participating in #TigrayGenocide; the destruction of their own ethnicity. How long will the @IntlCrimCourt stay silent? #StopExecutingTigrayans @IrlEmbEthiopia @CanadaEthiopia @AusEmbET

1. New reports of genocide in the Tigrayan town of Humera are emerging. #ETH’s genocidal war on Tigray is pure terrorism on the average Tigrayan citizen. Why is the world allowing this to continue? #HumeraMassacre #TigrayGenocide @SenateForeign @StateDept @Refugees @UN_HRC @hrw

2. Authorities have discovered dozens of bodies of those people fleeing #ETH’s #TigrayGenocide. Some with gunshot wounds or their hands bound. Children were not even spared. #HumeraMassacre @GerrySimpsonHRW @EUatUN @cnni @eu_echo https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/bodies-found-in-river-between-ethiopias-tigray-sudan/2021/08/02/a044be50-f394-11eb-a636-18cac59a98dc_story.html

3. Tigrayans from Humera fled into Sudan when the #TigrayGenocide began, making it to @Refugees camps where they still face hardships. Many lost their lives. #HumeraMassacre is an example of what Tigrayans still face in #ETH. @FilippoGrandi @RaoufMazou https://www.reuters.com/article/ethiopia-conflict-river-int-idUSKBN2F325A

4. Reports of renewed massacres in the town of Humera in Tigray. When will appointed leaders exercise their responsibility to protect civilians? This is a genocide. #HumeraMassacre #TigrayGenocide @LindaT_G @SecBlinken @AmbMKimani @KellyTClements @UNGeneva https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/bodies-found-in-river-between-ethiopias-tigray-sudan/ar-AAMQqqN

5. There are extremely horrific genocidal crimes being inflicted on Tigrayans in the town of Humera. The world must pay attention to what is going in Tigray.

6. “We told the kids to hide but the soldiers didn’t spare them. They killed four. Another one was shot while he was in the water. ” This genocide on Tigrayans must stop. #HumeraMassacre #TigrayGenocide @UNHumanRights @UNOCHA @CDU_CSU_EP @eucopresident https://www.tghat.com/2021/08/02/we-see-daily-one-or-two-dead-bodies-with-their-hands-tied-behind-their-backs-floating-on-the-river-tekeze/

7. Tigrayans are being tortured and killed in horrific ways in Humera. When will world leaders take concrete action to prove they’re really concerned about Tigray? #HumeraMassacre #TigrayGenocide @POTUS @SecYellen @KenyaMissionUN @Niger_ONU @PmTunisia https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-africa-sudan-race-and-ethnicity-ethiopia-1afde1960e66425a2c9586a431fb5a6a

8. The war crimes of #TigrayGenocide keep mounting. When will Tigrayans simply trying to exist in their ancestral lands be respected as the human beings that they are? Another #HumeraMassacre cannot be tolerated by world leaders! @JosepBorrellF @USAmbUN https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/leave-tigrayan-ethiopia-ethnicity-erased-76917280

3. Per @LaetitiaBader “the response by the @UN & influential govts. has been slow and mixed.” As we learn of the horrors of the #HumeraMassacre, it is vital that the Intl. community move beyond condemnation & take concrete action to end the #TigrayGenocide. @mbachelet @MexOnu

4. “The Amhara militia are going door to door. If they know you are a Tigrayan they kill or arrest you.” Refugees from Humera have been warning about the #HumeraMassacre.

6. Using a communication & internet blackout as a cover, the Ethiopian govt. and Amhara regional govt. are committing ethnic cleansing & genocide in western Tigray, in the dark. This must stop! #HumeraMassacre @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @CanadaFP @UNHumanRightsEU @UNHCRCanada

7. “Some of the bodies had been shot, others were tied up by their hands but without other visible injuries.” What more does Canada need to take action to stop Genocide like the #HumeraMassacre? #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @CanadaFP https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-conflict-river-idUSKBN2F323H

8. “I saw a lot of barbaric things. Some had been struck by an axe” – a doctor in Sudan, describing the bodies of the victims of the #HumeraMassacre.

#HumeraMassacre Pt. 3

1. How much longer will #ETH be enabled to carry out a Genocide? The atrocities have been mounting for 9 months. Appointed leaders must exercise their responsibility to protect civilians. @AmbMKimani @mbachelet @antonioguterres @UN_HRC #HumeraMassacre https://twitter.com/gebremeskelgeb/status/1422352442105245700?s=21

2. “We see daily one or two dead bodies with their hands tied behind their backs floating on the river Tekeze.” What is happening in #ETH is a genocide, and it needs to be recognized as such. #TigrayGenocide #HumeraMassacre @GCR2P @Haavisto @eu_echo @UNhttps://www.tghat.com/2021/08/02/we-see-daily-one-or-two-dead-bodies-with-their-hands-tied-behind-their-backs-floating-on-the-river-tekeze/

3. “When we arrived at Tekeze, there was nothing for crossing the river & soldiers were shooting at us. Those who could swim jumped into the river. Those unable to swim remained.

5. Amhara militia, ENDF & Eritrean troops must withdraw from Tigray today. Horrific atrocities like #HumeraMassacre are still taking place because of their presence. Int’l leaders must stop tolerating such barbarism. @SenBooker @SecBlinken @IntlCrimCourt https://twitter.com/PowerUSAID/status/1422340300807213057?s=20

6. It is up to world leaders to exercise the power appointed to them. Weaponized rape & the blockade of food into Tigray by the #ETH Govt can no longer be tolerated. The world is watching! @POTUS @eucopresident @EmmanuelMacron @antonioguterres @SecBlinken https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/03/dozens-of-bodies-found-floating-in-river-between-ethiopias-tigray-and-sudan

7. ETH & Eritrean forces must withdraw from western Tigray. They are committing horrific atrocities to eliminate the Tigrayan population.

8. Dr. Tefera, a surgeon who escaped from the #ETH border town of Humera, told Reuters he buried 10 bodies over the past 6 days in Sudan, and was told another 28 had been recovered, including 7 on Monday. @irishmissionun @NorwayUN @MexOnu #HumeraMassacre https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-africa-sudan-race-and-ethnicity-ethiopia-1afde1960e66425a2c9586a431fb5a6a

9. Tigrayans are being left for dead, floating in the river. Tied up, shot to death, and many badly burned. The world must not turn away from these heinous atrocities. #HumeraMassacre @HouseofCommons @EU_Commission @Europarl_EN @EUCouncil https://www.facebook.com/100001509543685/posts/4380748738652068/?d=n

10. There is insurmountable evidence that a Genocide is taking place in Tigray. How many more bodies must be discovered in churches, homes, and floating in rivers before global leaders take real action? @USAmbUN @SecYellen @UNReliefChief #HumeraMassacre https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-africa-sudan-race-and-ethnicity-ethiopia-1afde1960e66425a2c9586a431fb5a6a

11. Stop criminalizing Tigray’s identity and take action against the mass arrests being executed all over Ethiopia. Why has the Tigray identity been portrayed as pure evil?#TigrayMassArrest #TigrayGenocide @POTUS @UNHumanRights @ScottMorrisonMP @SenatorAbetz

12. International leaders, please stop supporting the strategic discrimination towards the civilians of Tigray. Your authority doesn’t only require words but actions. Action saves lives. Where do you stand?#TigrayMassArrest @IntlCrimCourt @EUCouncil @ScottMorrisonMP @NickMcKim

14. The ongoing discrimination of Tigrayans throughout Ethiopia is part of a larger effort of erasure & genocide. It is imperative that the Intl. community call it what it is – #TigrayGenocide. Eritrean, Amhara, & #ETH forces must be held accountable. #TigrayMassArrest @USAmbUN @VP

15. On Thursday 15th July, Kibrom Berhe, of Baytona Political Party was arrested and taken to an unknown location. The @IntlCrimCourt must intervene in light of these egregious human rights offenses. #TigrayMassArrest #TigrayGenocide @article19org @JamesDuddridge

16. The harassment of Tigrayans across Ethiopia is proof of @AbiyAhmedAli’s agenda to subjugate all Tigrayans. Another arbitrary arrest is that of Kibrom Berhe of the Baytona Party – he was arrested on July 15th and taken to an unknown location. #TigrayMassArrest @article19org

#TigrayMassArrest – 3

1. Amid growing anti-Tigrayan propaganda in Ethiopia, Tigrayans throughout the country have been targets of discrimination and violence by the state. #TigrayMassArrest must be condemned and stopped. #TigrayGenocide @UNHumanRights @JACL_National @wienerlibrary @GerrySimpsonHRW

2. .@AbiyAhmedAli labeled Tigrayans as a ‘cancer, a devil & invasive weed that must be uprooted’. This genocidal rhetoric has intensified #TigrayMassArrest & the violent targeting of Tigrayans throughout the country. @RonWyden @SenMarkey @HouseForeign https://www.tghat.com/2021/07/18/the-cancer-of-ethiopia-statement-by-pm-abiy-ahmed/

3. The collective punishment of Tigrayans extends beyond the Tigray region. Tigrayans in and around Addis Ababa have had their constitutional rights violated by their own government. Stop #TigrayMassArrest @RepCicilline @RepMcCaul @RepSpanberger @timkaine https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/07/ethiopia-end-arbitrary-detentions-of-tigrayans-activists-and-journalists-in-addis-ababa-and-reveal-whereabouts-of-unaccounted-detainees/

4. This campaign of collective punishment and subjugation is a clear violation of international law. End all trade agreements with Ethiopia and Eritrea until #TigrayMassArrest and #TigrayGenocide stop. @POTUS @StateDept @HouseForeign @SenateForeign https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/07/ethiopia-end-arbitrary-detentions-of-tigrayans-activists-and-journalists-in-addis-ababa-and-reveal-whereabouts-of-unaccounted-detainees/

5. Since November 2020, thousands of Tigrayans in Ethiopian cities, including Addis Ababa, have been unlawfully detained; their bank accounts frozen, and dismissed from their jobs. The world must stop turning a blind eye. #TigrayMassArrest @EP_President @Europarl_EN @Haavisto

6. As of April 2021, over 300 Tigrayans are being unlawfully detained in an inhumane warehouse just south of Ethiopia’s capital city. We need independent investigations of #TigrayGenocide & #TigrayMassArrest. @FilippoGrandi @USAmbUN @DicarloRosemary @Haavisto @UNReliefChief @hrw

7. .@MSF team members were killed in the Tigray region. As a result, MSF has suspended sending aid in Tigray, further impacting critical aid being delivered. These acts of violence and #TigrayMassArrest must be condemned. @antonioguterres @sanchezcastejon https://www.cbsnews.com/news/united-nations-humanitarian-workers-attacks-warning/

8. .@NobelPrize laureate turned war criminal @AbiyAhmedAli, has weaponized rape and famine against the populace in Tigray; consistent with the mass arbitrary arrests of Tigrayans outside of the region. Australia must speak up and ACT NOW! @tanya_plibersek #TigrayMassArrest

9. Australia is duty-bound to pressure @AbiyAhmedAli’s government to cease mass arbitrary arrests, criminalising Tigrayan citizens outside of the region with no rational motive. ACT NOW! @pmc_gov_au @Birmo @TonySmithMP @SenatorRyan #TigrayMassArrest #TigrayGenocide

11. .@AbiyAhmedAli is increasingly & deliberately arresting Tigrayans in #ETH simply because of their ethnicity❗️Yet, @luigidimaio & @MarinaSereni continue to merely issue abstract and ineffective statements on #TigrayMassArrest. Why? @EUCouncil @eu_echo https://apnews.com/article/africa-race-and-ethnicity-racial-injustice-b1a97f2569592f499565bfb6e673dc3d

12. Dictator @AbiyAhmedAli intensified his attacks on the press by abducting, beating & robbing local reporters & deporting independent journalists. @corradoformigli @gadlernertweet @zdizoro help your colleagues by condemning #TigrayMassArrest @CPJAfrica https://omnatigray.org/on-the-mass-detainment-of-tigrayans-and-ethnic-discrimination/

13. Nine months of #TigrayGenocide!”Tigrayans in Addis have been arbitrarily arrested & detained without due process in what appears as ethnically motivated detention” cit. @amnesty.Why is Draghi ignoring @AbiyAhmedAli’s #TigrayMassArrest ? @amnestyitalia https://www.amnesty.org/en/get-involved/take-action/end-the-arbitrary-arrests-of-tigrayans/

15. Unlawful arbitrary arrests of Tigrayans continues to take place in Ethiopia. As of today Kibrom Berhe of Baytona Party, was arrested without reason in Addis Ababa. Federal police continue to abuse their power and refuse to follow legal protocol. #TigrayMassArrest @article19org

16. The campaign to continue targeting and harassing Tigrayans across Ethiopia has intensified as invading forces face defeat in Tigray. The arrest of leader of Baytona Pol. Party, Kibrom Berhe, in Addis Ababa on 15th July 2021 is proof of that. #TigrayMassArrest @article19org

#TigrayMassArrest – 4

1. “We condemn these mass arrests of journalists, which clearly aim to deter independent investigative reporting on the war in Tigray” @ArnoFrog of @RSF_inter.@Palazzo_Chigi @Montecitorio & @SenatoStampa need to condemn @AbiyAhmedAli’s #TigrayMassArrest! https://rsf.org/en/news/rsf-decries-wave-arrests-ethiopia

Amhara Annexation of Western Tigray – #AnnexingTigray

Posted on by Sami Mulaw
#AnnexingTigray 1

1. Towns, cities & villages in western Tigray have Tigrayan names, this is the first indication that they’ve always been a part of Tigray. Yet Ethiopian & Amhara forces have ethnically cleansed Tigrayans from these lands. #AnnexingTigray @FilippoGrandi @EP_President @CoryBooker

2. The Genocidal war waged on Tigray by the Ethiopian government has allowed neighboring Amhara forces to commit ethnic cleansing in western Tigray by taking land belonging to Tigray.#AnnexingTigray @IntlCrimCourt @EUCouncil @TheCWIS @MinorityRightshttps://foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/28/ethiopia-tigray-war-amhara-abiy-ahmed-expansionism/

3. Western Tigray was given away to Amhara by EMP Haile Selassie as a way to punish Tigrayans for not kneeling to his dictatorship. Today, we see @AbiyAhmedAli repeating this same act, displacing millions solely due to their ethnicity. #AnnexingTigray @tomastobe @AnnLinde @UN

4. Amahara forces entered W. Tigray in support of the Ethiopian military. Since their invasion into the Tigrayan populated towns, they’ve committed every crime against humanity imaginable! #AnnexingTigray@CoryBooker @endrapeinwar @BernieSanders @FMCastaldo https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/21/a-tigrayan-womb-should-never-give-birth-rape-in-ethiopia-tigray

5. Tigrayans living in the western town of Humera are under severe threat, again. Many have been demanded by Amhara forces to leave their homes within 24 hours. Ethnic cleansing and #AnnexingTigray must stop. @KarimKhanQC @UN4Indigenous @USAmbUNhttps://www.garoweonline.com/en/world/africa/report-amhara-troops-attacking-tigray-people-in-humera-and-alamata

7. It is critical that the world understands @AbiyAhmedAli’s political & economic ambitions by use of #TigrayGenocide, and now #AnnexingTigray. He has broken countless Int’l. laws in attempts to secure his throne. @CSORG @CommonsForeign @TheDemocrats @Ilhan https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/30/africa/ethiopia-tigray-conflict-explained-intl/index.html

4. Tigray was annexed by Haile Selassie & given to Amharas, as a form of retaliation on Tigrayans for rebelling against his brutal regime during the 1st Woyane Rebellion.

7. Tyrants @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias Afwerki have allowed their troops to not only invade Tigray, but to destroy schools, & rape & torture the #ChildrenOfTigray. No govt should have the power to rob children of their innocence & future! @SavetheChildren @UNOCHA https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/05/28/ethiopia-tigray-schools-occupied-looted

8. Children across the globe should always be protected. Why are innocent Tigrayan girls being victims of weaponized rape? Silence should not be accepted! World leaders MUST ACT NOW! #ChildrenOfTigray @USAID @USAmbUN @SecBlinken @endrapeinwar @SavetheChildren

9. “The number of people in famine conditions…is higher than anywhere in the world.” #ChildrenOfTigray are not only victims of weaponized rape & displacement, but now famine.

10. The #ChildrenOfTigray have been robbed of their innocence by @AbiyAhmedAli. “To stop hunger from killing millions of people in Tigray, there needed to be a ceasefire, unimpeded aid access & more money to expand aid operations.” @UNPeacekeeping @StateDept https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/exclusive-some-350000-people-ethiopias-tigray-famine-un-document-2021-06-09/

11. Children across Australia have the luxury to focus on their studies whereas #ChildrenOfTigray must witness a genocidal war since November 2020. The Tigrayan Community in Australia calls for @ScottMorrisonMP to announce immediate sanctions on @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias Afwerki.

12. ChildrenOfTigray have faced gruesome acts of genocide for nearly 9 months, as thousands have been deliberately gang raped and murdered. Millions have been starved and displaced by Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Amhara forces. @IntlCrimCourt @SecBlinken @POTUS @hrw @SavetheChildren

#ChildrenOfTigray – 4

1. Thousands of #ChildrenOfTigray are suffering from psychological, emotional, & physical trauma from being raped during #TigrayGenocide. They need urgent aid to help with their depression, PTSD, suicide, & panic attacks. @SamanthaJPower @SecBlinken @hrw @SavetheChildren @UN_Women

2. The rights of #ChildrenOfTigray have been completely obliterated by the Ethiopian & Eritrean gov as they deliberately target Tigrayan children to kill, rape, & starve them. Intl. community must intervene. @SamanthaJPower @SecBlinken @hrw @SavetheChildren @ChildrensRights

3. While children across the globe have been sheltered by their families, thousands of #ChildrenOfTigray have been orphaned in the last 8 months. Their families have been killed by Ethiopian & Eritrean forces. Children deserve to be protected. @UNOSAPG @eu_eeas @HouseForeign

4. At least 33,000 #ChildrenOfTigray are dying of a man-made famine, created by the Ethiopian government.

6. ChildrenOfTigray had to walk for weeks to get care after being shot, knifed, or hit by shrapnel by Ethiopian, Eritrean, & Amhara forces. Health centers were intentionally looted/destroyed to ensure Tigrayans could not receive immediate treatment. @UNOCHA https://www.voanews.com/episode/children-shot-bombed-and-knifed-tigray-war-4711591

7. Delayed treatment due to looting and destruction of health centers resulted in many #ChildrenofTigray having limbs amputated. Mikiele Kahsay, 16, had his leg amputated because he couldn’t get to the hospital for 4 days, & gangrene set in. @SavetheChildren https://www.pri.org/stories/2021-06-07/rising-anger-youth-get-caught-tigray-war

9. Schools are turned into living rooms for IDPs. Kids are living daily horrors’ of #TigrayGenocide listening to bombings & gunshots, instead of attending school & playing with their classmates. #ChildrenOfTigray @azgbelgie @ItalyMFA @SavetheChildren

10. .@MSF suspending work in parts Tigray after the “brutal murder” of 3 of its staff last month will yet have a another devastating effect on the #ChildrenOfTigray. 87% of health centers in Tigray are destroyed by ????????n &????????n forces. @PmTunisia @VietNam_UN

11. “We haven’t really had a chance to wash ourselves since we arrived. My baby gets sick because of the harsh conditions in which we sleep.” The conditions #ChildrenOfTigray experience in IDP centers are inhumane. #TigrayGenocide @unicefchief @USAmbUN

12. #ChildrenOfTigray deserve the basic human right of education. They have been stripped of this due to the #TigrayGenocide with schools being looted & destroyed by ????????&????????. Australia must ACT & sanction these parties to protect the future of Tigrayans. @ScottMorrisonMP @AlboMP

13. A new mother walked for 12 days with her 20-day-old baby to receive medical care. The international community MUST call for unfettered humanitarian access into all of Tigray. #ChildrenOfTigray are suffering & must not be forgotten. @MarisePayne @ausgov https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/International/ethiopian-civil-war-famine-sexual-violence-shatter-tigray/story%3fid=78411088

14. ​​#ChildrenOfTigray, including a one-year-old baby, were victims of the Ethiopian military’s airstrike in a busy market in Togoga, Ethiopia. “I think most of the patients, they died because we were late there, because care wasn’t available.” @UNHumanRights https://www.cbsnews.com/news/airstrike-ethiopia-tigray-2021-06-24

15.

2. Alarming reports of ethnic profiling in Addis Ababa amidst rising hate speech against Tigrayans.

3. Time is running out for the 900K+ people living in conditions of famine. It’s up to @antonioguterres, @JosepBorrellF, @SecBlinken, & @UN|SC to finally prioritize those starving. Reopen ground and air access to Tigray. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide https://apnews.com/article/only-on-ap-united-nations-ethiopia-africa-9540b17507dcb58dd78b79116e6d9aa7

4. Amhara militias, Ethiopian + Eritrean troops continue to block humanitarian aid into Tigray. Immediate + verifiable withdrawal of these forces to their pre-war territories is essential to saving millions from starvation. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @jakejsullivan @LindaT_G

5. Indiscriminate targeting of Tigrayans in Ethiopia is escalating putting millions of Tigrayans living outside of Tigray in imminent danger. An immediately negotiated ceasefire with elected gov’t of Tigray is crucial. #TigrayGenocide @Europarl_EN @thinkper https://addisstandard.com/news-analysis-fresh-wave-of-arbitrary-arrest-of-tigrayans-in-addis-abeba-rights-commission-says-it-is-monitoring-the-situation-fed-police-deny-arrests-target-tigrayans/

7. Mass detention & profiling of Tigrayans in #AddisAbaba & other cities in Ethiopia. Tigrayans are being dehumanized & called names simply because of their identity. End human right abuses of Tigrayans.#TigrayGenocide@SenBooker @RepKarenBass @HouseForeign @Ilhan @ChrisCoons

8. Currently, over 30 Tigrayan families, including children are facing deportation from Sweden to Ethiopia where they face death, torture, starvation, and rape. Protect Tigrayan asylum seekers. @socialdemokrat @johanssonmorgan #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait https://bit.ly/35HMGZf

10. As Ethiopia continues to block ground & air transportation of humanitarian aid, @WFP @USAID @UNOCHA must work closely with the government of Tigray to deliver gravely needed aid. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @EU_Commission @StateDept @UN https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/bridge-key-to-delivering-aid-to-ethiopias-tigray-destroyed/2021/07/01/8a47e6c6-da6d-11eb-8c87-ad6f27918c78_story.html

11. Restoration of basic services in Tigray such as electricity, telecom, internet, banking, air travel, & transportation is a must. Millions of Tigrayans are living in the dark without basic services. #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait @EP_President@Europarl_EN @EP_Development

12. A ceasefire does not equate to peace. Ethiopia’s claim of ceasefire is placing Tigray under a siege. Immediate humanitarian aid is needed to 5.2+ million ppl of whom 400k are in famine condition. @WFP @USAID must air drop food in Tigray. #TigrayCantWait @StateDept @UNOCHA

13. Deporting Tigrayan asylum seekers is a death sentence. @Haavisto stated “when I met the Ethiopian Leadership in February they used this kind of language, that they are going to destroy the Tigrayans.” @johanssonmorgan @Aftonbladet @dagensnyheter #TigrayGenocide

14. Since Ethiopia started the genocidal war on Tigray, Tigrayans living in Addis Ababa have had to deal with waves of mass arrests by authorities simply for their ethnicity. Each wave being worst than the last. #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait @EUCouncil https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-conflict-tigrayans-idUSKBN2CO0VF

10. Asylum seekers fleeing persecution must be protected, not deported.

7. #TigrayGenocide extends beyond the borders of Tigray. Civilians residing in Ethiopia’s capital are intentionally being targeted and sent to prisons by the masses. @AbiyAhmedAli and his govt must be stopped. @SecBlinken @davidmcallister @tomastobe @POTUS https://tinyurl.com/2etp9f9c

8. The administration of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia says that it will not tolerate “junta supporters,” which refers to Tigrayans. The #TigrayGenocide continues as Tigrayan businesses are shut down and arbitrary arrests take place. The world must condemn this hate! @SecBlinken @Haavisto

#TigrayCantWait – 4

1. The massacres & rapes of Tigrayans in the last 8 months shows us that @AbiyAhmedAli’s claims to target TPLF only, was an orchestrated sham much like his election. #TigrayGenocide is an intentional attack on all Tigrayans. @EUCouncil @UNOSAPG @unicefchief https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/21/a-tigrayan-womb-should-never-give-birth-rape-in-ethiopia-tigray

4. Ethiopia has the duty to commit to steps outlined by the @UN|SC, including the withdrawal of both Eritrean & Amhara forces from Tigray; humanitarian access & hold perpetrators of #TigrayGenocide accountable. #TigrayCantWait @SenatorMenendez @RepKarenBass https://tinyurl.com/4s9fkyjm

3. #TigrayCantWait as Tigrayans continue to have their bank accounts frozen, assets confiscated, & lives shattered. Ethiopia continues to threaten the livelihood of millions of Tigrayans. @AbiyAhmedAli must be condemned. #TigrayGenocide @eucopresident @EmmanuelMacron @luigidimaio

4. The Ethiopian government continues to cut power and telecommunication in Tigray in order to hinder journalists from reporting on #TigrayGenocide. @AbiyAhmedAli must be stopped from committing more war crimes in the dark. @pressfreedom @EUCouncilPress @EUCourtPress @CDU_CSU_EP

7. Why have appointed leaders allowed @AbiyAhmedAli to get away with cutting off water, electricity, internet & banking services to a whole region of millions of people? As the @UN, you have a responsibility to protect civilians enduring #TigrayGenocide. @antonioguterres @UN_HRC

8. Where are the so-called civilized countries, and why are they not speaking out to condemn the #TigrayGenocide? The ethnic cleansing of Tigrayans throughout Ethiopia; the gang rapes, the massacres – are they not worthy of your care? #TigrayCantWait @JustinTrudeau @luigidimaio

9. For the past 8 months, we have asked for an end to the communication blackout in Tigray. Access to phone lines, internet & power must be completely restored. Can it be any more obvious that @AbiyAhmedAli is trying to hide the #TigrayGenocide? @SenateForeign @EU_Commission @UN

3. During the frantic retreat from Mekelle- the int’l community must keep #AllEyesOnTigray + protect vulnerable minorities within Tigray. Eritrean forces have a history of abducting + killing the Kunama, Irob & communities along the border to retaliate. #TigrayGenocide @franceonu

4. Civilians need to be protected not starved, ppl are dying daily due to famine caused by food blockage. This is another attempt by Ethiopia to commit genocide & collective punishment on civilians. #AllEyesOnTigray #CiviliansAreNotTargets @JanezLenarcic https://time.com/6076167/famine-tigray/

5. Ethiopian + Eritrean troops have violated every international + humanitarian law and don’t respect that #CiviliansAreNotTargets.

9. Dozens of civilians killed & over 100 injured after Ethiopia strikes a busy market.

13. Communication must be restored throughout Tigray. What is @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias Afwerki exactly hiding, & why aren’t world leaders questioning this suppress dissent? It’s time leaders intervene & protect Tigray. #CiviliansAreNotTargets @antonioguterres @mbachelet @EUCouncil
