#NoFlyZoneInTigray – October 23rd, 2021 – October 23, 2021

#NoFlyZoneInTigray Pt. 1

1. For nearly a year now, we’ve seen the Ethiopian gov deliberately block humanitarian aid into Tigray. As a result, 97% of the population is desperately in need of life saving assistance. @UN lack of action has had deadly consequences @EmmaWatson @UNGeneva#NoFlyZoneInTigray

2. “The air strikes have caused fresh panic in a city under siege, where doctors and others have described running out of medicines and other basic needs.” Tigray needs intervention. #NoFlyZoneInTigray #StopBombingTigray @EmmaWatson @Alyssa_Milano @UNICEFhttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-new-air-strikes-hit-capital-of-ethiopias-tigray-region/

3. The Ethiopian govt denied being responsible for airstrikes in Tigray this week, to only later admit they were behind it. It’s time to enforce #NoFlyZoneInTigray! Lives are in jeopardy. #StopBombingTigray@PentagonPresSec @DepSecDef@jensstoltenberghttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-58958022

4. The Ethiopian govt denied that it was behind the airstrikes in Mekelle earlier this week to only come out later this week to admit they were behind it. They need to be held responsible for their deadly actions. #NoFlyZoneInTigray #StopBombingTigray https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-58958022

5. “People picked me up. And when the explosions continued, I went out and saw a person that I know injured and on the ground.” The #TigrayGenocide has only grown worse. Please use your voice to advocate for the voiceless. #StopBombingTigray? @jadapsmithhttps://apnews.com/article/africa-united-nations-kenya-ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-83a7d47310dd4b0aa1e591228bc339cc

6. Throughout this week, airstrikes have caused fresh panic in a city under siege & man-made famine by Abiy Ahmed & Isaias Afwerki. Doctors described running out of medicines & other basic needs. Still no help from the Int’l community. Why? @UNGeneva @WHO https://twitter.com/Sebawyan/status/1449385301076500484/video/1

7. The lack of fuel and cash due to the blockade on Tigray has made it very challenging for humanitarians to sustain life-saving activities. Please help to #StopBombingTigray and ACT NOW.@USAmbUN @IntlCrimCourt @SecBlinken @jensstoltenberg @UN_HRC @hrwhttps://apnews.com/article/africa-united-nations-kenya-ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-83a7d47310dd4b0aa1e591228bc339cc

8. November of 2020, #ethiopia began air strikes on #Tigray. Almost a whole year later & civilians in Tigray are still facing air strikes. We can’t continue to allow this!#NoFlyZoneInTigray #StopBombingTigray @EUCouncil @vestager @BillGates https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-new-air-strikes-hit-capital-of-ethiopias-tigray-region/?cmpid=rss&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

9. The Ethiopian govt continues to weaponize food & aid. Not only have roads been blocked for @UN aid trucks, but now also UN aid flights can’t enter Tigray.These are crimes against humanity! #NoFlyZoneInTigray #StopBombingTigray @rihanna @IFAD @dreyndershttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/22/world/africa/ethiopia-united-nations-aid.html

10. The complicity of the Int’l leaders as Ethiopia continues war on Tigray will forever taint their credibility. @AbiyAhmedAli is a war criminal & action needs to be taken NOW! #NoFlyZoneInTigray #StopBombingTigray @unwomenchief @UN_Women @endrapeinwarhttps://twitter.com/OmnaTigray/status/1450610109911023616

#NoFlyZoneInTigray Pt. 2

1. A big part of the puzzle for the humanitarian disaster & ongoing genocidal war in Tigray is the @UN’s refusal to hold perpetrators, such as Ethiopia & Eritrea, responsible. UN is shying away from its responsibility to protect civilians. #NoFlyZoneInTigray https://abcnews.go.com/amp/International/wireStory/airstrikes-hit-capital-ethiopias-tigray-region-80723858

2. What’s happening in Tigray goes against your moral values and part of your legacy. Your contributions to help Ethiopia out of poverty has been demolished by Ethiopia’s regime. #NoFlyZoneInTigray@BillGates @gatesfoundation @priyankachopra@TeamWillDaily https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/tigray-conflict-mekelle-struck-residents-flee-amhara-as-ethiopia-battle-intensifies/ar-AAPPZnA

3. Per @UNOCHA, aid agencies only reached 1% of the target population from Oct 7-13. Now, humanitarian flights to Tigray are suspended, just as @AbiyAhmedAli’s airstrikes intended. @UN must act! #StopBombingTigray #NoFlyZoneInTigray @USUN @MexOnu @EstoniaUNhttps://reports.unocha.org/en/country/ethiopia

4. Indiscriminate airstrikes of civilians in Tigray where millions face starvation is consistent with the Ethiopian government’s intent to wipe out Tigrayans. When will the @UN act to protect? #NoFlyZoneInTigray #StopBombingTigray @UNPeacekeeping @USAmbUNhttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/6/18/ethiopian-leaders-said-they-would-wipe-out-tigrayans-eu-envoy

5. Ethiopia’s weeklong aerial bombing of Tigray killed children, injured many civilians, & forced @UN humanitarian flights to completely halt. This as 900K+ face starvation under siege. #NoFlyZoneInTigray #StopBombingTigray @vonderleyen @dreynders @EUatUN https://news.yahoo.com/ethiopia-air-strikes-hit-tigray-102335411.html

6. Tigray has been under a genocidal siege with all basic services cut-off and no fuel to distribute aid. Why isn’t the @UN Security Council acting to lift the siege & enforce a #NoFlyZoneInTigray? #StopBombingTigray @franceonu @NorwayUN @KenyaMissionUNhttps://news.yahoo.com/fuel-shortages-block-food-aid-084153846.html

7. Emboldened by inaction, @AbiyAhmedAli chose to airstrike Tigrayan civilians & civilian infrastructure for a week with credible reports indicating that more airstrikes are planned. EU must enforce #NoFlyZoneInTigray now! #StopBombingTigray @dreynders @TimmermansEU @EU_Commission

8. Through inaction, the Intl community has emboldened @AbiyAhmedAli to cont. genocide by starvation, massacres, rape, total siege, and now indiscriminate airstrikes. The least @UN members can do is enforce #NoFlyZoneInTigray. #StopBombingTigray @irishmissionun @PmTunisia @SVG_UN

9. Millions could starve due to govt imposed siege. Why are @AbiyAhmedAli forces permitted to eradicate Tigrayans through starvation + indiscriminate airstrikes with total impunity? #NoFlyZoneInTigray #StopBombingTigray @JosepBorrellF @eucopresident @eu_eeashttps://news.yahoo.com/ethiopia-air-strikes-hit-tigray-102335411.html

#NoFlyZoneInTigray Pt. 3

1. Drop food and medical supplies, not bombs! Children are starving under siege. The Int’l community must instate a #NoFlyZoneInTigray and demand unfettered access to aid. #StopBombingTigray @NorwayUN @irishmissionun @franceonu @UN_HRC @HeikoMaas @EUSR_Weber https://www.jpost.com/international/ethiopian-government-strikes-tigray-capital-for-fourth-day-this-week-682828

2. The Ethiopian govt has continued its aggression on Tigray by bombing crops which will exacerbate famine. When will the Int’l community live up to their obligation? Impose a #NoFlyZoneInTigray! #StopBombingTigray @EU_Commission @UKUN_NewYork @USUN @IFAD https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/20/renewed-ethiopia-air-raids-tigray-capital-mekelle

3. Not only have the people of Tigray suffered from countless acts of genocide, but millions are starving. Now, Ethiopia has deliberately endangered a @UN humanitarian flight. #StopBombingTigray@UNGeneva @franceonu @EstoniaUN @jadapsmith @Blklivesmatterhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/22/world/africa/ethiopia-united-nations-aid.html

4. Tigray has suffered countless acts of genocide for nearly 1 year. The Int’l community must recognize this as a genocide. A #NoFlyZoneInTigray is needed to deter further heinous crimes. #StopBombingTigray @NATO @NorwayUN @irishmissionun @USUN @vestagerhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/10/06/why-us-should-call-famine-violence-tigray-genocide/

5. Ethiopia must be sanctioned. The Ethiopian govt is willing to risk civilian lives in Tigray as part of its military efforts. Impose #NoFlyZoneInTigray and facilitate the delivery of lifesaving aid now! #StopBombingTigray @rihanna @BillGates @EU_Commissionhttps://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2021-10-16/god-have-mercy-tigray-residents-describe-life-under-siege

6. Bombing civilians under siege and a govt induced starvation is genocide. The inaction of the Int’l community will cost millions of lives. Impose #NoFlyZoneInTigray to protect civilians from further atrocities. #StopBombingTigray @WFPChief @UNGeneva @hrw https://sites.tufts.edu/reinventingpeace/2021/09/24/see-no-evil-how-the-united-nations-is-blind-to-the-famine-in-tigray/

7. The Int’l community has chosen silence over accountability for almost 1 year of #TigrayGenocide. The Ethiopian govt continues to starve and bomb Tigrayans with no repercussions. #NoFlyZoneInTigray #StopBombingTigray @JosepBorrellF @JanezLenarcic @FAO @WFPhttps://www.jpost.com/international/ethiopian-government-strikes-tigray-capital-for-fourth-day-this-week-682828

8. A @UN humanitarian flight was forced to abandon its landing due to airstrikes.️Ethiopia appears to be “escalating the intimidation tactics against aid workers amid the intensifying, year-long Tigray war.” #StopBombingTigray @mbachelet @jensstoltenberghttps://news.sky.com/story/ethiopia-airstrikes-in-tigray-force-un-flight-to-abandon-landing-and-turn-back-aid-workers-say-12441736

9. Ethiopia used fighter jets to strike Tigray, killing civilians & damaging infrastructure. These attacks also prevent aid from reaching the needy. The Int’l community must take action against these attacks. Demand #NoFlyZoneInTigray @USAmbUN @unicefchief https://news.sky.com/story/ethiopia-airstrikes-in-tigray-force-un-flight-to-abandon-landing-and-turn-back-aid-workers-say-12441736

10. Millions will be on the brink of death across Tigray as the region remains under a humanitarian blockade. The Int’l community must act to save lives of those impacted by Abiy Ahmed’s engineered starvation. Demand #NoFlyZoneInTigray @LindaT_G @SecBlinkenhttps://news.sky.com/story/ethiopia-airstrikes-in-tigray-force-un-flight-to-abandon-landing-and-turn-back-aid-workers-say-12441736

10. 900k+ are in famine condition & 6.8 million plus in need of emergency aid, Ethiopia is destroying the remaining infrastructure in Tigray using fighter jets. Schools, hospitals & markets are being targeted. #NoFlyZoneInTigray @eucopresident @BillGateshttps://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/10/22/africa/ethiopia-airstrikes-tigray-friday-intl/index.html
