Twitter Campaign – NeverAgain4Tigray – March 27, 2021

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

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

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

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

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

6. Hospitals in Tigray have been looted & attacked by Eritrean troops, leaving local civilians at risk of death due to lack of medicine & medical help. #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @ChrisCoons @USAmbU @RepGregoryMeeks @RepMcCaul @POTUS https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-conflict-health-idUSKBN2A80JZ

7. “Aid workers have described a deliberate & widespread targeting of health-care facilities in the Region, which is having a devastating impact on the ppl, especially those in rural areas.”#NeverAgain4Tigray @USAmbUN @EUCouncil @eucopresident https://reports.unocha.org/en/country/ethiopia/

8. Findings by @EthioHRC’s on the Axum Massacre echoes @amnesty’s investigation; Ethiopian & Eritrean troops looted hospitals resulting in crippling medicine & equipment shortages that resulted in patient deaths. #NeverAgain4Tigray @UNOSAPG @SecBlinken @hrw https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/24/eritrean-troops-killed-over-100-civilians-in-tigray-rights-group

9. Calling on Ethiopian women in leadership roles to use their platform to help women & young girls who have become or will be victims of sexual violence in the #TigrayGenocide. True democracy is uplifting your women!#NeverAgain4Tigray #WomenSupportingWomen https://twitter.com/vp/status/1371883975883563011?s=21

10. This week, unelected @AbiyAhmedAli admitted to the presence of Eritrean troops in Tigray & shamelessly excused #WeaponizedRape by Ethiopian forces. @UN must take immediate action to stop #TigrayGenocide. #NeverAgain4Tigray @SecBlinken @USAmbUN @mbachelet https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

NeverAgain4Tigray – 2
  1. The @UN has called for an end to “horrific” sexual violence in Tigray. Where’s the action? How can civilians be protected when Ethiopian & Eritrean troops are perpetrating this violence? #NeverAgain4Tigray #R2PTigray @mbachelet @SecBlinken @LindaT_G https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-conflict-un/u-n-calls-for-stop-to-horrific-sexual-violence-in-ethiopias-tigray-idUSKBN2BE2ZV

2. When she tried to escape, she recalled being “captured, injected with a drug, tied to a rock, stripped, stabbed & raped by soldiers for 10 days.” STOP THIS #TigrayGenocide #NeverAgain4Tigray @USAmbUN @Winnie_Byanyima @SecBlinken @UNAction @endrapeinwar https://news.lee.net/news/world/practically-this-has-been-a-genocide/article_dffdc621-8667-5911-954e-431387278d24.html

3. Genocidal rape – the action of a group which has carried out acts of mass rape & gang rapes, against its enemy as part of a genocidal campaign. #TigrayGenocide, call it what it is. #NeverAgain4Tigray @SamanthaJPower @UN_Women @UNAction @endrapeinwar https://edition.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

4. The @UN said “never again,” then let it happen again & again. It’s time for #UNSCActNow because Tigray simply cannot wait! You must do everything in your power to stop the #TigrayGenocide. #NeverAgain4Tigray @USAmbUN @UKUN_NewYork @irishmissionun @EstoniaUN @KenyaMissionUN

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

NeverAgain4Tigray – 3
  1. .@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

4. Ethnic Tigrayans cont. to be killed, profiled & discriminated against. They are being removed from the military, @UNPeacekeeping missions, Ethiopian airlines, & civilian government positions. This is an active ethnic cleansing! #NeverAgain4Tigray #R2PTigray @mbachelet @USAmbUN

5. .@_hudsonc suggests we learn from the horrors of Sudan. How can we prevent further atrocities and promote the promise of “never again”? https://www.justsecurity.org/75410/ethiopia-take-a-lesson-from-sudan-and-stop-the-war-in-tigray/

7. History teaches that the world stood by as mass atrocities + occurred. Today, extrajudicial murder, rape & looting against the ppl of Tigray has become normalized. We call for the intl comm to stop the cycle. #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide @EUCouncil @USAmbUN @eucopresident

8. Over 160 civilians were executed as Ethiopian soldiers went house to house in the Tigray town of Bora, yet another massacre. How many more acts of genocide will it take to call the “crisis” what it is? #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide@UNOSAPG @hrw https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-03-19/ethiopia-tigray-war-massacre-bora

9. The @UN said #NeverAgain, but why is it standing by as #Tigray|ans are victims of targeted violence because of their ethnicity? #UNSCActNow, you have waited too long already as death tolls reach insurmountable proportions. #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide @USAmbUN @NDeRiviere

10. Over 200,000 are currently living in extremely dire makeshift camps in Shire. A staggering number of whom are women and children who arrive malnourished & maimed. Unfettered access to Tigray! #NeverAgain4Tigray@unicef @UN_HRC @UNPeacekeeping @SecBlinken https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56456793

4. “Ethiopia rejects U.S. allegations of ethnic cleansing in Tigray” When you block humanitarian aid to Tigray knowing the extent & severity of their needs, dismiss pleas; who else could you be targeting but the people? #NeverAgain4Tigray @SecBlinken https://mobile.reuters.com/article/ampidUSKBN2B50ES#click=https://t.co/CvB3zgFTr0

5. The @UN has recognized “mass atrocities in #Tigray, yet has not taken concrete action to uphold its duties. Why the delay when there are innocent lives on the line with each moment that passes? Stop #TigrayGenocide.#NeverAgain4Tigray @USAmbUN @UKUN_NewYork @franceonu

6. The global community must take a hard stand against the war crimes being committed on the people of Tigray. 140+ days have passed and humanitarian organizations STILL don’t have complete, unfettered access to the region! #TigrayGenoicde #NeverAgain4Tigray @SecBlinken @LindaT_G

7. ‘Tell the world we are dying!’ These are the haunting words of a Mai Kadra survivor pleading to an @AJENews reporter you will never forget.

8. “Practically this has been a genocide” has been used to describe the atrocities occurring in #Tigray, Ethiopia & supported by the many intl media reports + leaked footage. The @UN must intervene IMMEDIATELY #R2PTigray #NeverAgain4Tigray@mbachelet @USUN https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

10. If @UN cannot hold perpetrators of genocide accountable, or let alone investigate potential acts of genocide, who can? @antonioguterres the international community must ACT! #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide

NeverAgain4Tigray – 5
  1. Since Nov, the people of Tigray have been cut off from the rest of the world. But the world now knows of the ongoing use of rape as a weapon, massacres & weaponized hunger. What will you do next? #NeverAgain4Tigray @SecBlinken @RepKarenBass @ChrisCoons https://www.foxnews.com/world/ethiopias-secret-war-in-tigray-region-ethnic-killings-rapes-near-starvation-reported

2. It has been over 100 days since the genocidal #WarOnTigray started. We say ‘never again,’ but the @UN’s inaction says we will let this happen ‘once again.’ #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide

3. Tigray was once the most peaceful region of the country, but for almost 5 month’s dire humanitarian crisis caused by an unjust war – 4.5 million at risk of starvation, 61K+ refugees, even more displaced. #NeverAgain4Tigray #UNSCActNow @ABlinken @mbachelet https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-55695123

4. Civilians have consistently been targets in the #WarOnTigray, as #Tigray|ans have indiscriminately been killed.

6. The international community must act now & heed the call for help from the women, men and children of Tigray. We cannot continue to fail them! #UNSCActNow #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide @UN_HRC @mbachelet @SecBlinken @USAmbUN @UKUN_NewYork @irishmissionun @franceonu

8. Mass killings, SGBV, war crimes – this is just the surface of all of the atrocities of human rights abuses occurring in Tigray & it must be stopped now. The Intl. comm has a responsibility to protect. #TigrayGenocide #NeverAgain4Tigray @mbachelet @ChrisCoons @USAmbUN @LindaT_G

9. We may not be able to change the horrific atrocities that occurred in the past, but we are able to do something about the current ones happening in Tigray, by taking proper action today! #NeverAgain4Tigray #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @irishmissionun @franceonu @AmbMKimani

10. SBGV war crimes should never go hidden especially in times of war. Tigray needs international intervention to help end #WeaponizedRape. We must protect these women and girls. #TigrayGenocide #NeverAgain4Tigray @UN_Women @KenyaMissionUN @MexOnu https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2021/01/22/UN-official-says-rape-sexual-violence-rising-in-Ethiopias-Tigray-conflict/8021611325219/

NeverAgain4Tigray – 6
  1. In targeting ???? services, invading forces extend the casualties of war to civilians requiring care for chronic health conditions & to SGBV survivors w/ no access to needed medical attention. Full access must be granted. @OCHA @ABlinken #NeverAgain4Tigray https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-ethiopia-conflict-health/people-die-at-home-tigray-medical-services-struggle-after-turmoil-of-war-idUSKBN2A80M2

5. Sexual violence to brutalize women & girls in Tigray needs to be called out by the international community, along with solid steps taken to end weaponized rape. #NeverAgainForTigray @endrapeinwar @Atayeshe @RepKarenBass @ChrisCoons @SecBlinken https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2021/01/22/UN-official-says-rape-sexual-violence-rising-in-Ethiopias-Tigray-conflict/8021611325219/

6. We as an Intl. community cannot stand by idle as rape is weaponized.

7. Eritrean troops & Amhara militias are engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Tigray through the use of rape, torture & massacres. We must demand their removal from Tigray.
