#500DaysOfTigrayGenocide Pt. 1

1. Ethiopia launched a genocidal war on Tigray. A reported 500,000 lives have been lost & nearly 2 million displaced. @PMEthiopia is still continuing this genocidal war. Please #SupportHR6600. #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide @RepMariaSalazar @RepHankJohnson https://news.yahoo.com/head-spotlights-catastrophic-humanitarian-crisis-234120248.html

2. The blocking of food & aid from entering Tigray only hurts civilians. The most vulnerable are women, children and the elderly. This is a crime against humanity that must be condemned. #SupportHR6600 @RepYoungKim @RepKirkpatrick @RepLawrence https://www.economist.com/leaders/2021/01/23/ethiopias-government-appears-to-be-wielding-hunger-as-a-weapon

6. .@YouTube, among other global enterprises, should cut its ties with Ethiopia, as it did with Russia, to protect the civilians and recognize #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide. Humanity must be prioritized. @RepMaloney @RepZoeLofgren @RepElaineLuria https://www.nytimes.com/article/russia-invasion-companies.html

#500DaysOfTigrayGenocide Pt. 2

1. While all eyes are focused on Russia & Ukraine, the int’l community must also remember Tigray, where 500,000 of the population have been killed in #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide.

5. After #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide, the logical consequence of the greatest famine in the world now follows. For 16 months, the fields in Tigray could not be harvested or cultivated. Existing food stocks were destroyed by invading forces. @UNDP @UNGeneva https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/who-chief-worlds-worst-health-crisis-is-in-ethiopia/2022/03/16/9f83df92-a53b-11ec-8628-3da4fa8f8714_story.html

6.

9. Telecommunication blackouts + limited access imposed on Tigray by the Ethiopian govt have made it difficult for aid workers to reach civilians. More must be done by the int’l community. #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide @JosepBorrellF @EU_Commission @Haavisto https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/10/06/why-us-should-call-famine-violence-tigray-genocide/

10. The latest UN humanitarian report says that the vast majority of Tigray is considered “hard to reach” or “highly restricted” due to the Ethiopian govt’s blockade. End the siege now! #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide @MarosSefcovic @dreynders @CharlesMichel @eucopresident @EUSR_Weber

https://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-crisis-hunger-malnutrition-a772602d2caac96e8024769c012ce8c6

10. As the chief architects of the genocidal war on Tigray, Isaias & Abiy have repeatedly violated the core tenets of Int’l humanitarian law. Why is the @IntlCrimCourt allowing these two to continue to kill? @MinPres @NLatICC @GCR2P #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide https://www.theafricareport.com/183840/ethiopia-isaias-afewerki-and-abiy-ahmed-through-the-prism-of-the-ukraine-conflict/

12. #RussiaWarCrimes & @AbiyAhmedAli’s #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide must be condemned on the same level. Why is @ItalyMFA signing new economic deals with @PMEthiopia? #BlackLivesMatter too!

3. More than 6 million Tigrayans have been sealed off from the outside world and are facing an unparalleled health crisis. The @IntlCrimCourt’s failure to uphold itself to its standards is a grave injustice. #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide @ministerBZ @DutchMFA

5. It has been #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide and over 6 million people are in need of aid. In order to bring peace and stabilization to Ethiopia, the passing of H.R. 6600 is a critical component. #SupportHR6600 @RepJoeWilson @RepKinzinger @RepMeijer @RepHerrell https://p.dw.com/p/48QCF?maca=en-Twitter-sharing

2. Compassion is being selectively demonstrated by the media. Not only are most media outlets not reporting on Tigray, but when they do their language is biased. This is irresponsible and unacceptable. #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide @NBCNews @TODAYshow @ABChttps://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2022/mar/17/nowhere-on-earth-are-people-more-at-risk-than-tigray-says-who-chief

9. Issues of gender are fundamental to the experience of genocide. Over 120,000 women + girls have been raped, mutilated, & forced into slavery.

11. Do you know that @ItalyMFA signed new economic deals with @AbiyAhmedAli after #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide? Why are Italy’s citizens not informed?

12. The US sanctioned Russia & @POTUS called Putin a “war criminal” for actions in Ukraine. In Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed waged #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide yet there hasn’t been a similar response. The US must be consistent in its values.#CallItAGenocide @SecBlinken https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/abiy-ahmed-ethiopia-tigray-invasion/2021/01/27/b5ccd58e-5ff9-11eb-9430-e7c77b5b0297_story.html

3. “Many report being told that they are raped & sexually violated because of their ethnic identity.” Perpetrators must be held accountable for using rape as a weapon of war. #SupportHR6600 #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide @RepMarcyKaptur @RepBarbaraLee @RepDLesko https://sites.tufts.edu/reinventingpeace/2021/08/10/what-rape-as-a-weapon-of-war-in-tigray-really-means/

4. “Forced starvation is the latest chapter in a conflict where ethnic Tigrayans have been massacred, gang-raped & expelled. Months after crops were burned & communities stripped bare, a new kind of death has set in.” @ClaraLionelFdn #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide https://www.npr.org/2021/09/20/1038858345/i-just-cry-dying-of-hunger-in-ethiopias-blockaded-tigray-region

5. While Tigrayans in Italy are mourning #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide, @MarinaSereni of @ItalyMFA continues to fund @AbiyAhmedAli’s genocidal regime by signing new economic agreements with Ethiopia. All despite the 120k women raped by ENDF. @PiazzapulitaLA7 https://twitter.com/ItalyinEthiopia/status/1498752704214192133

6. .@ItalyMFA’s double standards are despicable: On one 🫱 @luigidimaio rightfully condemned Russia’s war crimes. On the other 🫲 @MarinaSereni keeps funding @AbiyAhmedAli (via @aics_it).#BlackLivesMatter too! #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide @PiazzapulitaLA7

7. Talking about economic bonds with Ethiopia after #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide is despicable.Talking about the “role of women in peace processes” with @SahleWorkZewde, the president of a govt responsible for 120k rapes is shameful! @MarinaSereni @luigidimaio https://twitter.com/ItalyinEthiopia/status/1498691482169008129

8. Yet another wicked choice by @MarinaSereni! On top of stipulating new economic deals with Ethiopia, after #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide; she also has the nerve to meet with @DemekeHasen, the instigator of genocide. @ItalyMFA is run by criminals. @repubblica https://twitter.com/ItalyinEthiopia/status/1498332044174241797

9. For #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide civilians have been imprisoned, gang-raped, bombed, burned, drowned & murdered by @PMEthiopia. Yet, @MarinaSereni of @ItalyMFA recently went to Addis to sign new economic deals with @AbiyAhmedAli! @ItalyinEthiopia @aics_it https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-03-07/more-than-300-killed-in-air-strikes-in-northern-ethiopia-since-nov-un-rights-chief

10. .@PMEthiopia has granted total impunity to its army & allied forces guilty of all types of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Including, the murders of 20 aid workers. @JanezLenarcic @JosepBorrellF @SpainMFA @MFAofArmenia #500DaysOfTigrayGenocide https://nyti.ms/3IkCIhm
