World Bank- 1

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

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

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

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

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

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

8.

World Bank – 2

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

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

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

4. 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/

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. .@WorldBank & @DFCgov should not support the privatization of @ethiotelecom. We ask for the withdraw of any bids.

Irob + Kunama

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

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

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

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

10. The Kunama have faced war crimes by invading Eritrean troops. Their livelihood at risk as they are being systematically starved. Their crops & farming equipment have been intentionally destroyed. @UN you have a Responsibility to Protect. #UNSCActNow @USAmbUN @USAmbUN @MexOnu

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

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

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

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

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

Twitter Campaign – Irob + Kunama

Posted on April 10, 2021 by Sami Mulaw

Irob + Kunama – 1

Irob + Kunama – 2

Irob + Kunama – 3

Irob + Kunama – 4

Irob + Kunama – 5

Irob + Kunama – 1

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Irob + Kunama – 2

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

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

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

4. Awalom, a witness of #IrobMassacre, described watching Eritrean troops order 18 young men to lie in a remote field so they could be shot to death.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Irob + Kunama – 3

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Irob + Kunama – 4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Irob + Kunama – 5

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

World Bank-5

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/

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

5. In Tigray, there have been reports of ethnic massacres, ethnic cleansing, extrajudicial killings, weaponized rape & weaponized hunger. How many acts of genocide does it take before you treat it as such? #NeverAgain4Tigray @USUN @antonioguterres https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/world/middleeast/ethiopia-tigray-ethnic-cleansing.html

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

.@SenatorRisch, thank you for re intro of bipartisan S. Res 97 which calls for an end to fighting, improved humanitarian situation + investigation into atrocities. The resolution must be passed quickly to begin bringing relief to the affected ppl of Tigray. #NeverAgain4Tigray

2. We ask @UN_HCR to reconsider the decision of joint inquiry into mass atrocities + human rights violations & request a @UN led, independent investigation in Tigray. Begin to keep the promise of #NeverAgain.#NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide @UNOCHA @mbachelet @USUN @SecBlinken

3. The atrocities in Tigray were meant to never happen again. It is time to make good on that promise. We are past the ‘concern’ and ‘worry’ stage. Please wake up @UN and take action. #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide @LindaT_G @USAmbUN @ChrisCoons @UKUN_NewYork @franceonu
