10. Secretary-General of the @UN, @antonioguterres, evacuated his staff and called @AbiyAhmedAli before Mekelle was bombed. He is a promoter of the #TigrayGenocide and the US & EU need to take action and stabilize the region. @EU_Commission @SecBlinken @UNGeneva #NoFlyZoneInTigray
11. “The bombing of urban areas, however, reinforces the impression that Addis Ababa is willing to risk civilian lives in Tigray as part of its military efforts.” Ethiopia must be sanctioned. #NoFlyZoneInTigray @DeputySecState @UnderSecPD @UnderSecStateJ https://apnews.com/article/africa-united-nations-kenya-ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-83a7d47310dd4b0aa1e591228bc339cc
