1. .@EthioHRC and @DanielBekele should be removed from any credible investigations into Tigray. They are biased and answer to @AbiyAhmedAli. We demand an independent @UN-led investigation. Nothing less! #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyforTigray @hickspeggy @SecBlinken @EmmanuelMacron
2. Crimes against humanity must require independent investigations. The war crimes in Tigray were waged by @AbiyAhmedAli whose government runs the @EthioHRC. How is this going to be a reliable investigation? It won’t! #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyforTigray @mbachelet @eucopresident
3. The @UN must lead an independent investigation into war crimes in Tigray without the influence of the Ethiopian government. To partner with the @EthioHRC is to silence the people of Tigray. #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyforTigray @mbachelet @PmTunisia @hrw https://news.yahoo.com/un-rights-chief-agrees-joint-033524783.html
4. Allowing @EthioHRC to investigate war crimes & crimes against humanity in Tigray, perpetrated by the Ethiopian govt, is a nonstarter. As an agency of the Ethiopian govt, EHRC is involved in biased, false & whitewashed reporting on #TigrayGenocide. #UNOnlyforTigray @mbachelet @hrw
5. Tigrayans do not have faith in @EthioHRC’s ability to carry out an unbiased investigation in Tigray. EHRC is an Ethiopian governmental agency. It has already engaged in false reporting & efforts to whitewash #TigrayGenocide! #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @ambassadorRice @UN_HRC
6. .@EthioHRC was created by a proclamation of the federal govt. of Ethiopia. It has already engaged in a concerted effort to coverup the #TigrayGenocide. The Tigrayan community has no confidence in EHRC, thus its involvement is a nonstarter. @hickspeggy @Haavisto @VietNam_UN
7. .@EthioHRC’s Chief, @DanielBekele, is hand picked by @AbiyAhmedAli & is NOT independent. EHRC has been involved in blame shifting & whitewashing crimes in Tigray even after int’l human rights orgs uncovered atrocities. No to EHRC! ????????♂️ #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @LindaT_G
8. .@EthioHRC must not join @UN’s investigation in Tigray! Created & funded by the Ethiopian gov’t, it has a conflict of interest & must be precluded from investigating the #TigrayGenocide. EHRC’s involvement is totally unacceptable. @mbachelet @UNReliefChief @AmbMKimani @UN_HRC
9. Any investigation involving @EthioHRC will be tainted as it is an arm of Abiy’s govt & has engaged in a concerted effort to whitewash the #TigrayGenocide. EHRC has produced biased, misleading reports misrepresenting the facts in Tigray. #UNOnlyForTigray @Ilhan @VP @JoeBiden
10. The ethnic cleansing in Tigray was perpetrated by Amhara militia, Eritrean soldiers & Ethiopian federal army. @EthioHRC is an Ethiopian governmental agency. We deserve an independent, @UN-led investigation into the #TigrayGenocide. #UNOnlyForTigray @SamanthaJPower @EUCouncil
11. .@EthioHRC shaped a false narrative on #WarOnTigray by producing a false report on #MaikadraMassacre in support of @AbiyAhmedAli. Now, it wants to rewrite facts on the #TigrayGenocide. EHRC’s involvement is fraudulent! #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @USAmbUN @BorisJohnson
12. The Ethiopian Gov, Eritrean soldiers & Amhara militia committed atrocities, blocked communication, basic services, & humanitarian aid for over 4 months. @EthioHRC can’t independently investigate atrocities. Tigray deserves a @UN-led investigation. #UNOnlyForTigray @UNReliefChief
13. In the past 3 yrs, the @EthioHRC selectively avoided investigating human rights violations. That is bias, selective outrage, & untrustworthiness. The @UN must reverse its decision to work with state-run @EthioHRC. @jakejsullivan @LindaT_G @SecBlinken @irishmissionun @SVG_UN

7. Daniel Bekele and @EthioHRC have already proven their lack of impartiality through their misleading reports of the #TigrayGenocide, including the #MaikadraMassacre. They’ve shown that they can’t be trusted to be independent. #UNOnlyForTigray @JustinTrudeau @eucopresident @hrw
8. An independent investigation must not be influenced by any parties. The @EthioHRC has shown their willingness to misrepresent facts in order to downplay the Ethiopian govt’s role in the #TigrayGenocide. They must not be trusted by the @UN_HRC. #UNOnlyForTigray @StateDeptSpox
9. If the @UN truly wants to see justice & an end to the #TigrayGenocide, they’ll reconsider their decision to work with the @EthioHRC, a biased gov’t-run organization committed to misrepresenting facts & protecting Abiy Ahmed. We need impartiality. #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet

19. The @EthioHRC has had a history of bias, shifting blame + questionable reporting. Today, history continues, in the midst of #TigrayGenocide.

1. The @EthioHRC annual budget of approx 85 million Ethiopian Birr (around $2.3 million) is funded by the Ethiopian Government. We can’t trust @DanielBekele to investigate crimes committed in Tigray by the Ethiopian Govt. who is paying his salary. #TigrayGenocide @USUN @JoeBiden
2. The @UN has an ethical obligation to assess conflicts of interest when investigating war crimes in Tigray. Partnering with state-funded @EthioHRC will compromise the legitimacy of any investigation & subsequent report. #TigrayGenocide @FilippoGrandi @mbachelet @DicarloRosemary
3. U.S. Sec. of State @SecBlinken called for independent investigations into the #TigrayGenocide. The @UN needs to reverse its decision to work with the state-run Ethiopian Human Rights Commission & instead conduct UN-led investigations. @UN_HRC @LindaT_G @JoeBiden @AmbMKimani
4. The @UN’s human rights chief @mbachelet has agreed to an Ethiopian request for a joint investigation into war crimes in Tigray. The people of Tigray deserve unbiased investigations, free from interference from the perpetrators of these crimes! #TigrayGenocide @EUCouncil @UNOCHA
5. An independent investigation of human rights violations in Tigray requires courageous input from traumatized victims. Including the state-funded @EthioHRC means including the perpetrators of these crimes & strips the victims of a legitimate investigation! @UNOCHA @UN_HCR @USUN
6. The @UN must reverse its decision to include state-run @EthioHRC in an independent investigation of Tigray in order for the “victims and witnesses of human rights violations to not be hindered from sharing their testimony for fear of reprisals”. @mbachelet #TigrayGenocide @USUN
7. Allowing involvement from Ethiopian state-run & funded @EthioHRC in a @UN-led investigation of Tigray delegitimizes the investigation by allowing the perpetrators to investigate their own crimes. Victims of the #TigrayGenocide deserve a truly independent investigation! @UNOCHA
8. The @UN must reverse the decision to include @EthioHRC in an independent investigation of Tigray. Silence is violence & including Ethiopian-funded EHRC is effectively silencing victims by introducing bias & corruption into the investigation. #TigrayGenocide @Haavisto
9. An investigation on Tigray war crimes cannot be investigated jointly with the government committing these crimes. This is a compromised investigation from the start. @mbachelet @UNHumanRights conduct your own INDEPENDENT investigation. #TigrayGenocide @USAmbUN @SecBlinken
10. The Abiy govt of Ethiopia & Isaias of Eritrea committed unspeakable crimes on the ppl of Tigray. The people deserve an unbiased investigation to bring the criminals to justice NOT a sham investigation. @UNHumanRights @mbachelet @SecBlinken #TigrayGenocidehttps://tinyurl.com/y859g3sf

8. In terms of impartiality, an investigative authority must not have a personal bias or a conflict of interest in relation to the case at hand. @EthioHRC is not only state sponsored but @DanielBekele an extended arm of the Ethiopian gov. #TigrayGenocide @Niger_ONU @EUCouncil
9. Independent & impartial investigative authority must carry out criminal investigations.There are reasonable grounds to believe that the Ethiopian gov has committed war crimes. How can you include the perpetrators in investigations? #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyForTigray @hickspeggy
10. #R2P is a primary rule under the Intl. law, which is breached when a member of the armed forces violates the law. @AbiyAhmedAli’s Govt is involved in war crimes, including state-run @EthioHRC. #TigrayGenocide #UNOnlyForTigray @USAmbUN @UKUN_NewYork @GermanyUN
11. Ethiopia’s military along w/ @EthioHRC are organs of the state & perpetrators of #TigrayGenocide. @DanielBekele is the extended arm of Ethiopian Gov. Unbiased investigations therefore aren’t given if #EHRC is involved. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @mbachelet @USUN @hickspeggy
12. The @EthioHRC’s reporting on the Mai Kadra massacre placed the victims of the massacre as the perpetrators. The @USUN has a responsibility to ensure such crimes against humanity are duly investigated. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @JoeBiden @IntlCrimCourt @UNHumanRights

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

1. The @EthioHRC is a state-run organization. The #WarOnTigray was waged by the same govt. the @@UN_HRC intends to collaborate with. Justice cannot be achieved by the entity that seeks to erase Tigrayans. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @EU_Commission @hickspeggy
2. Misinformation by state media + organizations plays a role in #WarOnTigray. Govt institutions have consistently spewed harmful narratives r.e Tigrayans & their elected government. The @USUN must recognize the danger in working alongside them. @LindaT_G @UNOCHA #TigrayGenocide
3. Reports noting @mbachelet’s agreeing to work with @EthioHRC are particularly concerning given the nature of EHRC’s involvement in falsifying the role of the Ethiopian Govt in the #WarOnTigray. We call for @UN-led investigations. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @LindaT_G @USUN
4. Had Germany been asked to investigate atrocities committed by #Hitler the Nuremberg trial would have not happened. Only @UN must investigate #TigrayGenocide & bring war criminals @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias to justice. #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @EUatUN @EUCouncil @SecBlinken

11. This is what @DanielBekele of @EthioHRC had to say about ethnic cleansing & war crimes against humanity in Tigray.

The truth about #TigrayGenocide must be revealed and it cannot be done by state-sponsored @EthioHRC. Tigray deserves justice not ongoing coverups by @AbiyAhmedAli & his regime. #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide @hickspeggy @SecBlinken @mbachelet @UNOCHA https://www.channel4.com/news/the-horrors-of-the-hidden-war-inside-the-tigray-conflict-in-ethiopia
The @UN must lead an honest & independent investigation into war crimes in Tigray without the involvement of the Ethiopian Govt. It’s a travesty to justice to silence the innocent once again by involving the perpetrators. @mbachelet @hrw #UNOnlyForTigrayhttps://www.channel4.com/news/the-horrors-of-the-hidden-war-inside-the-tigray-conflict-in-ethiopia
Calling the @UN to conduct an authentic independent investigation on war crimes committed in Tigray. It’s an insult that @_AfricanUnion & @EthioHRC were even considered. How can we trust either when they won’t even condemn #TigrayGenocide? @SecBlinken https://au.int/en/pressreleases/20210311/statement-african-union-commission-chairperson-he-moussa-faki-mahamat-meeting
Its imperative that a @UN-led investigation of Tigray does not include @AUC_MoussaFaki or @AbiyAhmedAli. These two culprits are trying to cover up the #TigrayGenocide. @mbachelet it was wrong to even consider @EthioHRC. #UNOnlyForTigray @RepGregoryMeeks https://au.int/en/pressreleases/20210311/statement-african-union-commission-chairperson-he-moussa-faki-mahamat-meeting

The @_AfricanUnion has failed Tigray. @AUC_MoussaFaki needs to be investigated for his failure to condemn a war. He & @achpr_cadhp have blood on their hands & should never be considered to jointly investigate Tigray. #UNOnlyForTigray @mbachelet @LindaT_Ghttps://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2020-12-21/african-union-says-ethiopia-acted-legitimately-in-tigray
In its ethnically-biased reports, @EthioHRC fails to interview Tigrayan victims. It’s not an accident @DanielBekele has echoed the state narrative that criminalizes refugees and blames survivors & victims. The agency is biased. #UNOnlyForTigray@LindaT_G https://twitter.com/getachew_temare/status/1371202765096124416/video/1
Due to @DanielBekele’s ethnic-bias, @EthioHRC didn’t investigate the #MaikadraMassacre that countless reports and human reports have revealed. The joint investigation will be compromised and won’t be credible.@LindaT_G@KenyaMissionUN #UNOnlyForTigrayhttps://au.news.yahoo.com/amphtml/terrified-survivors-recount-attacks-civilians-030108107.html
The ethnic cleansing in Tigray was not investigated by @EthioHRC despite sending a team to the affected areas. The team interviews the perpetrators instead of survivors. Its involvement will derail credible UN-led investigations.@LindaT_G #UNOnlyForTigray https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/26/world/middleeast/ethiopia-tigray-ethnic-cleansing.html
The reason Ethiopian government officials & pro-government supporters endorse @EthioHRC is because they’re confident @DanielBekele is biased in their favor. An EHRC joint investigation will not be credible. @LindaT_G@JosepBorrellF #UNOnlyForTigray https://twitter.com/mfaethiopia/status/1346942309015846918
Ethiopia took “legitimate” military action in Tigray to preserve unity & stability, said @AUC_MoussaFaki. Now he’s expressing involvement in a Tigray probe. @UN read between the lines. Do not trust @EthioHRC nor @achpr_cadhp #UNOnlyForTigray @SecBlinken https://newsghana.com.gh/au-chairperson-says-horn-of-africa-in-very-particular-situation-faces-tough-challenges/
.@AUC_MoussaFaki is dishonest about Ethiopian politics, as is @AbiyAhmedAli. The two along w/ @achpr_cadhp & @EthioHRC cannot be trusted to fairly report on crimes in Tigray. An @UN-led ONLY investigation must be carried out. #UNOnlyForTigray @EUCouncil https://borkena.com/2020/12/20/ethiopia-law-enforcement-in-tigray-region-legitimate-says-au-chairperson/
.@AUC_MoussaFaki is so desperate to stay in office that he will sacrifice the people of Tigray to appease unelected dictators like @AbiyAhmedAli. Both must stay out of investigations on Tigray. @hickspeggy @SecBlinken #UNOnlyForTigray #TigrayGenocide https://newsghana.com.gh/au-chairperson-says-horn-of-africa-in-very-particular-situation-faces-tough-challenges/

11. Aus Gov’t. has a responsibility to repatriate its citizens stuck in Tigray. Conditions have progressively worsened since @AbiyAhmedAli declared war in November. Tigrayan-Australians call for #AusGovActNow & bring our Aussies home. #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @ScottMorrisonMP
12. .@dfat & Aus Gov’t. has been static in making efforts to repatriate Aus citizens stuck in Tigray. The conflict is volatile, Aus Gov’t. has a responsibility to the welfare of its citizens & must act NOW. #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow @tanya_plibersek @TonySmithMP @AlboMP @ALeighMP
13. #AusGovActNow & condemn actions of the unelected PM @AbiyAhmedAli for the state-sponsored #TigrayGenocide. Over 130 days of extrajudicial killings, SGBV, destruction & looting of infrastructure. 800k Rwandans were killed in 100 days, the world said ‘never again’ yet here we are.

18. .@ScottMorrisonMP many international leaders have condemned the active #TigrayGenocide. Your silence supports the ongoing #WeaponizedRape, starvation and ethnic cleansing to great extremes. What are you waiting for? #AusGovActNow @SenatorAbetz @RedCrossAU @UNHumanRights
19. The Australian-Tigrayan community request that @Aust_Parliament make a statement urging the Ethiopian gov’t. to allow independent investigations to be undertaken in #TigrayGenocide & call for the withdrawal of ALL foreign troops who are executing ethnic cleansing. #AusGovActNow
20. .@MarisePayne If you can condemn the atrocities in #UyghurGenocide, then why is it hard for you to do the same with #TigrayGenocide? Speaking up against injustice is a must; silence is violence! #AusGovActNow @austrightsco @ScottMorrisonMP
#AusGovActNow- 2
1. .@MSF reveals that 65% of health resources evaluated by teams were entirely impracticable, 73% had been looted & 20% had been occupied by armed groups, thus inaccessible for civilians in Tigray. @ScottMorrisonMP’s government must take action now! #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow
2. The world has learned of graphic reports due to state-sponsored genocide in Tigray, imposed by Ethiopian Federal Gov’t. & cooperating foreign forces. How long until the Australian government publicly condemns the ongoing lawlessness in Tigray? #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow
3. We are urging the #AusGovActNow to publicly excoriate the ongoing war crimes transpiring in Tigray! @ScottMorrisonMP leaves behind tens of Australian citizens stranded in the Tigray region of Ethiopia with inadequate support. #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @SenatorWong
4. The Morrison Gov’t. should be shamed for failing to castigate the lawlessness arising in #TigrayGenocide. Tens of Australian citizens stranded in Tigray continue to be overlooked by the Morrison government. #AusGovActNow @AlboMP @DanielAndrewsMP @AdamBandt @ellensandell
5. #AusGovActNow tens of thousands have been killed, injured or forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing #TigrayGenocide. @ScottMorrisonMP @MarisePayne we urge you to speak up and demand independent investigations into these war crimes. @Aust_Parliament @inside_canberra
6. Since Nov 4th 2020, there has been a state sanctioned #TigrayGenocide. ???????? and ???????? troops along with Amhara militia are committing unimaginable atrocities in Tigray. #AusGovActNow, your complacency is complicity! @ScottMorrisonMP @AdamBandt @MarisePayne @MarkMcGowanMP @SenKatyG

19. The Australian-Tigrayan community encourages @BehrouzBoochani to speak up about the injustices occurring in the Tigray region. Weaponized starvation, rape, looting & killing of innocent civilians is happening right under our nose. SPEAK UP! #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide
20. During Women’s History month, the women of Tigray are not celebrating but are facing a genocidal war. @chescaleigh please speak up for the innocent women and children suffering at the hands of dictators. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait
#AusGovActNow- 3
1. There are over 4.5 million people in the Tigray region of Ethiopia who urgently need emergency aid. The Australian government needs to assist in advocating for unrestricted humanitarian access. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP @AdamBandt @MarisePayne @AlexHawkeMP
2. The Australian-Tigrayan community in Australia have been agonizing and grief stricken for over 4 months. Will the Australian Government ask, why? #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @DanielAndrewsMP @SenatorWong @AliciaPayneMP @MarkMcGowanMP @Marshall_stevenn
3. Several reports of war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Tigray have emerged over the past 4 months; Australia has a responsibility to the international community to speak against these atrocious crimes. @Marshall_stevenn @Aust_Parliament @MarisePayne #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide
4. Innocent civilians in Tigray are being forcibly starved as a result of highly restricted humanitarian access by @AbiyAhmedAli as he continues to enact violence in the region. Is this of no importance to the Australian government? @ScottMorrisonMP #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide
5. Australian Gov’t. has a responsibility to condemn and prevent acts of genocide as a signatory of the #R2P. Tigray has experienced immense hardship since Ethiopian & Eritrean forces occupied the region @MarisePayne @ScottMorrisonMP @Aust_Parliament #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide
6. The international community has watched idly as the #TigrayGenocide progressively worsens. There is still an opportunity to condemn the senseless violence committed by Eritrean and Ethiopian troops. #AusGovActNow @MarisePayn @SenatorWong @andrewjgiles @SenKatyG @AliciaPayneMP
7. .@austrightsco The Ethiopian government is committing atrocities against the Tigrayan people. The Australian government has refused to take a public stance and condemn these acts of violence. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @SenatorWong @lidia_thorpe @MarkMcGowanMP
8. The Ethiopian Gov’t. has enlisted foreign Eritrean forces to commit mass atrocities in Tigray. The Intl. community has failed to intervene & allowed for violence to escalate. #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow @BehrouzBoochani @chescaleigh @Malala @RuthCoppingerSP @GerrySimpsonHRW
9. We have a collective responsibility as citizens of any nation to do what is necessary to condemn & prevent acts of genocide. #TigrayCantWait for the International community to recognize that being silent is attune to being compliant. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @LibyaLiberty
10. The United Nations, European Union, & the United States have all commented on the ongoing violence in Tigray. Australia inaction in condemning the #TigrayGenocide is wilful complacency. #AusGovActNow @ClareDalyMEP @ScottMorrisonMP @MarisePayne @DanielAndrewsMP @Aust_Parliamen
11. The Australian government has been so shamefully apathetic & silent about #TigrayGenocide. Tens of thousands of civilians continue to lose their lives & endure the most grotesque acts of sexual violence. #AusGovActNow #TigrayGenocide @MarisePayne @SenatorWong @inside_canberra
12. #TigrayGenocide has galvanized all the notable powers of the Western world to demand an immediate ceasefire. When is #Australia going to fulfill its obligation, as a member of the global community, to advocate for peace & security abroad? #AusGovActNow @Aust_Parliament
13. #Australians continue to demand that their government employ diplomatic means to condemn #TigrayGenocide & engage with it’s allies to push for immediate ceasefire. Aussies expect more from their state & federal representatives. @MarkMcGowanMP @GladysB @Marshall_stevenn
14. When will #Australia stand up & join the western world in sounding off the alarm about the grave human rights violations in Tigray? #TigrayGenocide #AusGovActNow @tanya_plibersek @Birmo @TonySmithMP @TonySmithMP @SenatorRyan
15. It has been over 4 months since @dfat was informed that many Australian citizens are trapped in war-torn Tigray, as the Ethiopian government perpetrates #TigrayGenocide. Australia’s complete disregard for the safety of it’s own citizens is appalling #AusGovActNow @DanielAndrewsMP

#ItalyGunsInTigray – 2
1. Reports coming out of Tigray indicate that in the last 4 months, thousands of priests have been executed by Ethiopian & Eritrean forces. 48 priests were killed in Ahse’a, a town near #Adwa just in 1 day. @Pontifex_it help us by condemning these killings. #TigrayGenocide
2. Ethiopia|n & Eritrean troops are systematically bombing & looting historical #churches in #Tigray. Thousands of worshippers are killed while attending mass. Tigray, an ancient land of faith is being erased by @AbiyAhmedAli & #IsaiasAfwerki. @Pontifex_it #TigrayGenocide
3.Horrifying massacres are taking place in Tigray. Scores of civilians killed while attending mass, people slaughtered while seeking shelter in churches. #DengelatMassacre & #AxumMassacre are just the tip of the iceberg. @Pontifex_it help us! #TigrayGenocide
4. This is #culturalcleansing! Tigray is home to 1000s of churches & monasteries, with the oldest carved into rock-faces. Thousands of sacred #Christian manuscripts are guarded in the region. The looting is about erasing our cultural heritage. @Pontifex_it #TigrayGenocide
5. Massacres, widespread rapes, looting & starvation are the daily reality of the ongoing #TigrayGenocide. In addition, world heritage sites in #Tigray such as Al-Nejashi #Mosque, #Debredamo & Assimba monasteries have been bombed by government forces @UNESCO @AAzoulay @Pontifex_it
6. On the 2nd of March @SecBlinken urged @AbiyAhmedAli to immediately end the hostilities & asked for the withdrawal of foreign forces from Tigray. Like many leaders, he took a stand against #TigrayGenocide. @luigidimaio your silence is unacceptable! @FedericaMog @EP_President
7. On the 23rd of February, after visiting Ethiopia on behalf of the @Europarl_EN, @Haavisto stated that the crisis in Tigray appeared “out of control”. In the meantime, @luigidimaio talks about everything else. Not even a word on #TigrayGenocide! https://www.africanews.com/2021/02/23/eu-envoy-warns-tigray-crisis-out-of-control/
8. Ethiopia’s @Europarl_EN ambassador Hirut Zemene continues to lie about #TigrayGenocide. What are the values in which Italy believes? @luigidimaio You need to take a stand now! @EUCouncil @PaoloGentiloni @EP_President @MAZappia @pierofassino @emmabonino https://euobserver.com/foreign/151150

11. .@luigidimaio you said “For us, respect for human rights is an unbreakable commitment.” Italy permanently halts arms sales to Saudi Arabia & UAE. Stick to your unbreakable commitment & stop arming Ethiopia as they are conducting #TigrayGenocide. #DiMaioActNow @antondepierro

3.

4. Italy must suspend export licenses to Ethiopia of any army equipment which might be used for internal repression and ethnic cleansing of Tigray population. #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa @luigidimaio @ecdelre https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56229256
5. Italy must halt arms trade with Ethiopia as several massacres unfold in the northern Tigray region. Stop funding this war. #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide #DisarmTigrayGenocide@MinisteroDifesa @luigidimaio @ecdelre @antondepierro
6. Is the Italian government prepared to be partially responsible for violence against those living in Ethiopia? You must help to #DisarmTigrayGenocide NOT aid it. #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa @luigidimaio @ecdelre
7. Italy has a history of inciting and enacting armed conflict in Ethiopia. Is Italy prepared to allow history repeat itself by selling military equipment to the Ethiopian govt.? #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @MinisteroDifesa @luigidimaio @antondepierro
8. As refugees continue to escape the embattled Tigray region. Italian arms in Ethiopian soil could contribute to the influx of refugees in Italy. #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @guerini_lorenzo @luigidimaio @ecdelre @antondepierro
10. Ethiopia’s war on Tigray has already forced thousands to flee & the number of refugees is expected to rise. If Italy ratifies the weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia, it will be responsible for aiding the #TigrayGenocide. #ItalyGunsInTigray https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/03/08/the-u-n-must-end-the-horrors-of-ethiopias-tigray-war/
11. Ethiopia is no longer a stabilizing force in the Horn of Africa; thus, Italy has the moral and legal obligation to halt the weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia. Stop #ItalyGunsInTigray. The #TigrayGenocide must end! @Beretta_1526 @ECCHRBerlin https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/africasource/the-unintended-consequence-of-ethiopias-civil-war-might-be-a-border-war-with-sudan/
12. Ethiopian govt has been accused of indiscriminately shelling & killing innocent civilians. If ratified, Italy’s weapons agreement with Ethiopia will be used to commit further atrocities. #TigrayGenocide #ItalyGunsInTigray @luigidimaio @MinisteroDifesa https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/02/11/ethiopia-unlawful-shelling-tigray-urban-areas
13. Weapons deals between Western powers & Ethiopia must be terminated starting with the Italian government agreement. Any country that maintains its previous deals with Ethiopia will be responsible for crimes against humanity. #TigrayGenocide #ItalyGunsInTigray @ECCHRBerlin
14. Italy must withdraw any weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia to avoid being complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity in Tigray. #ItalyGunsInTigray must be halted! #TigrayGenocide @Leonardo_IT @Leonardo_live @RheinmetallAG@RetePaceDisarmo https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/02/19/should-have-finished-survivors-ethiopian-army-implicated-brutal/
15. The Italian government’s weapon sales agreement is directly exacerbating the #TigrayGenocide by providing arms to the forces perpetuating ethnic cleansing. As a moral and legal responsibility, the Italian government must end this agreement. #ItalyGunsInTigray @luigidimaio
16. The weapons sold by Italy to Ethiopia are only going to be used for more looting, raping, & killing of innocent civilians. The Italian gov’t must end their bilateral weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia immediately. #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @luigidimaio @Beretta_1526
17. Criterion 2 & 3 of the 2008 Common Position prevent weapons sales to countries who don’t respect human rights & are involved in an internal conflict. Ethiopia meets both criteria, & therefore #ItalyGunsInTigray will be a mistake with consequences. #TigrayGenocide @luigidimaio
18. Italy stopped selling weapons to Saudi Arabia for its role in the conflict in Yemen, & Italy must do the same with Ethiopia for its role in the #TigrayGenocide. Weapons will only exacerbate the humanitarian crisis. #ItalyGunsInTigray is a NO! @luigidimaio @RetePaceDisarmo
19. Revenue from weapon sales is NOT more important than human lives. Italy needs to end its weapon sales agreement with Ethiopia, as the people of Tigray are being looted, raped, & killed with the use of weapons. No to #ItalyGunsInTigray #TigrayGenocide @luigidimaio @guerini_lorenzo
20. Tigray: Hundreds of civilians, including altar boys, have been slaughtered by #EritreanTroops during a Christian religious celebration. #DengelatMassacre is just the tip of the iceberg. Why is Italy silent on #TigrayGenocide? @antondepierro @AliceMogwe @FedDirittiUmani @Pontifex
21. Most people received a great gift: the ability to choose. Whoever does not use it, turns it into a curse. Italy do not make #TigrayGenocide your shame. Take a stand & side with the oppressed. Say no to #TigrayGenocide! Cancel the arms deal with @AbiyAhmedAli! #ItalyGunsInTigray

2. In @JustinTrudeau’s phone call with @AbiyAhmedAli, he failed to call out the war crimes being committed against the people of Tigray. Why are you enabling genocide? @rpatricktravers @MarciSurkes @MarcGarneau #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide #StopWarOnTigray

6. .@JustinTrudeau needs to take a firm stand AGAINST #WarOnTigray. We do not want to hear anymore soft diplomacy as Ethiopia receives millions in aid and uses it to massacre and kill the innocent people of Tigray. Stop #TigrayGenocide! #TrudeauFailedTigray @MarcGarneau
7. .@JustinTrudeau your lackluster statement is not acceptable. You must take a firm stand against ethnic cleansing. Our sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers beg you to stand up for humanity! #StopWarOnTigray #TigrayGenocide http://bit.ly/30xB7l2
8. We demand an independent investigation into war crimes in Tigray. The perpetrators who commit the atrocities cannot investigate themselves! That includes the @_AfricanUnion. @MarcGarneau we need less condemning and more action! Stop #TigrayGenocide!
9. “UN rights chief calls for probe in Ethiopia’s Tigray” @JustinTrudeau when will you do the same? #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocidehttp://bit.ly/2Nc5QBa
10.“To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada” -@JustinTrudeau.When will you uphold your promise? #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide
11.The “deeply concerned” messages that countries like Canada have put out do little to help the millions facing starvation; young girls & women being raped & thousands of refugees in Sudan. #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @MarcGarneau @karinagould @SvenTrueNorth
12.Evidence of ethnic cleansing, weaponized rape, massacres of civilians, & other human rights violations in Tigray have been reported by @hrw and @amnesty. Failing to act means becoming an ally of #TigrayGenocide. #TrudeauFailedTigray @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @theJagmeetSingh
13. Disturbing videos coming from across Tigray show @AbiyAhmedAli’s troops massacring innocent civilians then throwing them off a cliff. How many more videos must be released before Canada @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau decide to take a stand? #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide
SGBV
1.In Tigray “they had registered at least 200 girls (in Mekelle) under the age of 18, who said they had been raped.” The majority said perpetrators wore #Ethiopia|n army uniforms. @JustinTrudeau @MaryamMonsef #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @UN https://t.co/LHlKCZdV5h
2.Another described how 4 Eritrean soldiers raped her while forcing her husband to watch. Take a stand against SGBV crimes in war. #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @MaryamMonsef @Marcisurkes @endrapeinwar @rpatricktravers http://yhoo.it/38vQ4Zm

6.‘It is war & things like [rape] happen’ is a statement that justifies sexual violence by Ethiopian Armed Forces. Rape is a punishable war crime. #MonaLisaAbraha #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide @GarnettGenuis @MarcGarneau @IntlCrimCourt @Karinagould https://reut.rs/3cc5t1W
7. .@UN stated “disturbing reports of individuals allegedly forced to rape members of their own family, under threats of imminent violence.” Canada must demand immediate humanitarian access & independent human rights investigation #TigrayGenocide @MarcGarneau @Karinagould @HedyFry
8.Many women were raped in Mekelle. This is being done purposely to break the morale of the people, threaten them and make them give up the fight. Rape is a punishable war crime. #TigrayGenocide #TrudeauFailedTigray @MarcGarneau @endrapeinwar @Karinagould https://bbc.in/3l0NvmX
9. In January, over 200 girls under 18 reported being raped in Mekelle. How many girls are going to be victims of the inhumane Ethiopian forces before the international community steps in? #TigrayGenocide #TrudeauFailedTigray @GarnettGenuis @Karinagould https://bbc.in/3l0NvmX
10.Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy includes “Peace and security, by promoting inclusive peace processes and combatting gender-based violence.” @JustinTrudeau does this apply to women & girls in Tigray? @MarcGarneau #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide
11. Rape is being used as a weapon of war in Tigray. This article speaks of a young lady who was gang-raped for days, then had foreign objects inserted into her genitals by Eritrean soldiers. Make this stop! #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau http://bit.ly/3t7gOqL
12.The people who were massacred in Tigray are members of our family. The women & girls who were gang-raped are also our sisters & cousins. Please have a heart. Speak up for them. #TigrayGenocide @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau @MaryamMonsef @cafreeland @MarciSurkes
13. Women and girls have been adversely affected by the war in Tigray. Hundreds of rapes reported & disturbing videos showing the atrocities committed by Eritrean and Ethiopian forces in Tigray. Stop #TigrayGenocide! #TrudeauFailedTigray @MaryamMonsef @JustinTrudeau @MarcGarneau
14. “There are also disturbing reports of individuals allegedly forced to rape members of their own family, under threats of imminent violence.” This is barbaric to say the least! #TigrayGenocidehttp://bit.ly/3t9kus6 @MaryamMonsef @MarcGarneau @theJagmeetSingh @erinotoole
15. The use of rape & sexual violence against young girls and women in Tigray must be condemned. Perpetrators must be held accountable! @AbiyAhmedAli & #IsaiasAfwerki are using rape as a way to punish, humiliate & destroy the women of Tigray! @JustinTrudeau #TigrayGenocide
Cessation of Hostilities
1. The Int’l community MUST force Abiy to have a national dialogue. Tigrayans must have a right to self-determination, and this right was threatened since Sept 2020 when they elected TPLF. Demand for Abiy and Isaias to STOP the atrocities. @yfblanchet @sbergeron #TigrayGenocide
2.We will always remember our beloved people, including family, who were massacred for being part of a particular ethnic group. @JustinTrudeau – there is an evil ethnic cleansing going on in Tigray. when will you act? #TrudeauFailedTigray #TigrayGenocide http://cnn.it/2OESuOf
3. As you prepare for Easter, remember the people of Tigray who are being massacred in a state sponsored genocidal war. They are being killed in their places of worship and to make it worse, there is a coverup. @MarcGarneau @karinagould @ChevrierAntoine #TigrayGenocide
4.How many more lives must be lost before the Canadian gov’t. takes action in stopping the #TigrayGenocide? We are now at day 130. @JustinTrudeau @karinagould @MarcGarneau @theJagmeetSingh Tigrayans cannot wait any longer. #TrudeauFailedTigray #StopWarOnTigray

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? @KGeorgieva @eucopresident @gwsokamoto
2. So #IDAWorks when @WorldBank & #IMF agree to fund @AbiyAhmedAli’s #TigrayGenocide? As financial leaders you should demand: a ceasefire, #AllowAccessToTigray, lift blackout & independent investigations. Not reward a dictator with more money! @GitaGopinath @gwsokamoto @JanetYellen
3. By providing money to a regime that is intentionally blocking much needed humanitarian access to its own country, is approving a war on humanity. #IMF & @WorldBank – stop funding the #TigrayGenocide. @DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WB @JanetYellen @RishiSunak https://www.voanews.com/africa/ethiopian-government-blocking-aid-tigray-un-says
4. COVID19 is @AbiyAhmedAli’s scapegoat to receive aid relief for #Ethiopia @WBG_IDA. Meanwhile, he is using food as a weapon in #WarOnTigray. Demand that he open ALL humanitarian corridors, not reward him with money for more guns! #TigrayGenocide @FeridBelhaj @SonaliJC @gwsokamoto
5. Ethiopia’s @AbiyAhmedAli has scared off foreign businesses such as @hm. He’s allowed forces to destroy infrastructures in his own country. Now he wants a hand out from #IMF? Abiy cannot be trusted with money. #TigrayGenocide @USTreasury @federalreserve https://www.reuters.com/article/ethiopia-conflict-manufacturing-idUSKBN28J0LG
6. Mehrawit 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 is likely funding. #TigrayGenocide @AxelVT_WB @kanshul @JanetYellen https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-02-11/troops-accused-of-mass-rape-in-ethiopias-tigray-conflict

8. 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.

9. 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
10. The aim of #IMF funds is to promote economic growth, financial stability, & reduce poverty in countries. NOT to fund a genocide in #Ethiopia. Stop funding @AbiyAhmedAli’s war on humanity. #TigrayGenocide @JanetYellen @RishiSunak @nsitharaman @Bill_Morneau@JoshFrydenberg
11. When @AbiyAhmedAli received 3 billion in aid from @WorldBank in 2019, he wrote, ”this reaffirms both governments’ & donors’ partnership to transition #Ethiopia to a prosperous & peaceful nation.” He has done the exact opposite. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WB
12. 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
13. “What we need from the #Ethiopia|n gov’t is the green light to the humanitarian community to negotiate access,” @Haavisto said. A country that weaponizes hunger does not deserve debt relief. @JoshFrydenberg @AxelVT_WB @JustinTrudeau #TigrayGenocide https://www.barrons.com/news/eu-envoy-warns-ethiopia-tigray-crisis-out-of-control-01614087013?tesla=y&tesla=y

4. L’objectif des fonds du #FMI est de promouvoir la croissance économique, la stabilité financière et de réduire la pauvreté dans les pays, mais pas de financer le génocide en #Éthiopie. Cessez de financer la guerre d’AbiyAhmedAli contre l’humanité. #TigrayGenocide @BrunoLeMaire
5. Selon @Haavisto les dirigeants d’#Ethiopie n’ont pas réussi à fournir une “image claire”de la situation au #Tigré et des soldats de l’#Erythrée. L’allégement de ladette ne devrait pas être accordé à un pays qui manque de transparence. #TigrayGenocide @BrunoLeMaire @Diop_IFC

12. “Un 80% de la población de #Tigray es inalcanzable… es un apagón total”. El gobierno Etiope está manejando muy mal la crisis humanitaria en Tigray & no se le debería confiar el alivio de la deuda. #TigrayGenocide @alferdez @lopezobrador_ @NadiaCalvino https://euobserver.com/tickers/151023
13. Las acciones hacia la paz y la estabilidad en #Tigray deben ser consideradas antes de que se proporcione el alivio de la deuda a #Etiopía. El gobierno federal está poniendo obstáculos burocráticos para impedir el alivio del sufrimiento de sus ciudadanos. #TigrayGenocide @MAECgob
14. #COVID19 es el chivo expiatorio de @AbiyAhmedAli para recibir ayuda a Etiopía @WBG_IDA. En tanto, usando la ambruna como arma en la guerra de #TigrayGenocide. Exige que abra TODOS las puertas humanitarios y no premiarlo con dinero para más armas! @NadiaCalvino @ArturoHerrera_G

World Bank and IMF 2
1. .@Haavisto told journalists that #Ethiopia’s leadership failed to provide a “clear picture” of the situation in #Tigray including the presence of #Eritrea|n soldiers. Debt relief shouldn’t be provided to a country that lacks transparency. @FeridBelhaj @Diop_IFC #TigrayGenocide
2. “Some 80 percent of #Tigray’s population is unreachable..it’s a complete blackout.” The #Ethiopia|n gov’t is greatly mismanaging the humanitarian crisis in Tigray & shouldn’t be trusted with debt relief. @kanshul @KGeorgieva @GitaGopinath #TigrayGenocide https://euobserver.com/tickers/151023
3. Actions toward peace & stability in Tigray should be considered before debt relief is provided to #Ethiopia. The federal government is placing bureaucratic obstacles to prevent the alleviation of the suffering of its citizens. #TigrayGenocide @eucopresident @gwsokamoto @Diop_IFC
4. The @WorldBank aims to reduce poverty and 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 @MamtaMurthi @ADixon_WB @KFinkelston @EmmanuelMacron
5. As the IMF welcomes Ethiopia’s request for debt treatment under the G20 Common Framework, they are effectively funding war crimes & encouraging the economic mismanagement of the country. They must deny any forms of relief aid, immediately. #TigrayGenocide @USTreasury @SonaliJC
6. The @IMF cites COVID-19 as a major reason to provide funding for Ethiopia, despite the fact that most hospitals in Tigray have been destroyed or looted without a single condemnation nor promise of investigation from @AbiyAhmedAli. #TigrayGenocide @JanetYellen @SvonFriedeburg
7. Despite the NUMEROUS reports of war crimes & blocking of humanitarian corridors in Tigray, IMF & @WorldBank are happy to provide relief aid to Ethiopia under the G20. What will it take to withhold aid? Tigray cannot wait. #TigrayGenocide @vonderleyen @JoeBiden @ScottMorrisonMP
8. 4.5 million ppl are in a humanitarian crisis caused by the same #Ethiopia|n government that is requesting debt relief from @WorldBank & IMF, relief that would continue funding the genocidal war. Where is the line drawn? #TigrayGenocide @JanetYellen @JustinTrudeau @IFCEurope
9. G20 has an obligation to its commitment to stability by condemning actions of the Ethiopian govt. Investigative reports & eye witness accounts give voice to horror stories from fleeing civilians in Tigray. Is that how #IDAworks?#TigrayGenocide @BorisJohnson @ShaolinyangWBG
10. IMF is an organization that aims to reduce poverty and ensure stability and peace through economic means. However, providing funding to a country at war with its own people will threaten any possibility of peace & stability. #TigrayGenocide @KGeorgieva @RTErdogan @JoeBiden
11. Laetitia Bader of @hrw states, “At the war’s start, Ethiopian federal forces fired artillery into Tigray’s urban areas in an apparently indiscriminate manner that was bound to cause civilian casualties & property damage.” #IDAworks #TigrayGenocide @IMF_atUN @WorldBankAfrica
12. Victims of the war on Tigray include: mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents, children, uncles & aunts. Providing funding for a country that weaponizes hunger is in direct contradiction to the IMF mission. #TigrayGenocide @IMFSpokesperson@IMF_inEU @KGeorgieva@gwsokamoto
13. “@UN warns of ‘serious’ rape charges in Ethiopia’s Tigray.” How can the #IMF still agree to debt restructuring for a country that has been implicated with horrendous war crimes? #TigrayGenocide @IMFSpokesperson@IMF_inEU @KGeorgieva@gwsokamotohttps://apnews.com/article/international-news-violence-ethiopia-united-nations-kenya-166e4f47eaeeeeec6e424ba3b773c61e
14. “Why would they do that? Is it to hide things? Is it because they don’t want us to be there to see what is happening? @NRC_Egeland asked. @WBG_IDA @icsid do NOT provide debt relief for Ethiopia while @AbiyAhmedAli commits atrocities. #TigrayGenocide https://www.devex.com/news/eu-envoy-says-ethiopia-in-denial-over-tigray-99229

4. “He believes some 800 people were killed that weekend at the church & around the city, and that thousands in Axum have died in all.” Ethiopia is using all its resources to wage this cruel war. #IMF @ICSID & @WorldBank should not sponsor #TigrayGenocide https://apnews.com/article/witnesses-recall-massacre-axum-ethiopia-fa1b531fea069aed6768409bd1d20bfa
