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? @DavidMalpassWBG

2. The aim of #IMF funds is to promote economic growth, financial stability, & reduce poverty. NOT potentially fund a genocide with no end in sight. @AbiyAhmedAli must call for a ceasefire & @WorldBank should require it. @Adixon_WB @IMFNews #TigrayGenocide https://www.voanews.com/africa/us-appeals-cease-fire-ethiopias-tigray-rejected

3. So #IDAworks when @WorldBank & #IMF agree to fund @AbiyAhmedAli’s #WarOnTigray? As financial leaders you should demand a ceasefire, removal of foreign troops & a @UN-led only independent investigation. Not reward a dictator with more money! #TigrayGenocide @wbg_gov @AxelVT_WB

4. By providing money to a regime that is intentionally blocking much needed humanitarian access to its own country, is condoning a war on humanity. #IMF & @WorldBank – stop funding the #TigrayGenocide. @DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WB @Adixon_WB https://www.voanews.com/africa/us-appeals-cease-fire-ethiopias-tigray-rejected

5. COVID19 is @AbiyAhmedAli’s scapegoat to receive aid relief for Ethiopian. Meanwhile, he is STILL using food as a weapon in #WarOnTigray. Demand that he open ALL humanitarian corridors, not reward him with funds for guns! #TigrayGenocide @IFC_org @WBG_IDA https://www.voanews.com/africa/us-appeals-cease-fire-ethiopias-tigray-rejected

6. 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. This is about funding a cruel war waged by @AbiyAhmedAli. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBGhttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-refugee-camps-are-torched-and-hospitals-looted-as-starvation-looms-in/

7. .@AbiyAhmedAli has scared off suppliers of @hm & @childrensplace during the #TigrayGenocide. He’s allowed forces to destroy infrastructures, causing the country’s economy to plunge. This is who you want to do business with? @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom https://www.reuters.com/article/ethiopia-conflict-manufacturing-idUSKBN28J0LG

8. 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

9. Merhawit 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 could likely be funding. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBG @AxelVT_WBhttps://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-02-11/troops-accused-of-mass-rape-in-ethiopias-tigray-conflict

10. With debt relief comes the responsibility to protect humanity & @WorldBank must hold governments to higher standards. The actions of @AbiyAhmedAli do not align with World Bank’s mission. Halt funds to Ethiopia. #TigrayGenocide @SPimentaIFC @HafezGhanem_WBhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/28/scale-of-tigray-horror-adds-to-pressure-on-ethiopian-leade

11. Please sign the petition. Urge World Bank to halt funding to Ethiopia. #TigrayGenocide https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-suspend-loans-and-grants/

12. Please sign the petition calling for an end to privatization of Ethio Telecom. #TigrayGenocide
https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-stop-privatization/

13. Have you signed both petitions yet?
1) Suspend Grants https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-suspend-loans-and-grants/2) Stop privatization https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-stop-privatization/
#TigrayGenocide

1. @UNOCHA has confirmed refugee camps in Tigray have been destroyed, looted, & vandalized. @WorldBank, action is needed to save lives & you must do your part to help. Halt funds to Ethiopia as long as it wages a cruel war. #TigrayGenocide @HafezGhanem_WBhttps://www.unhcr.org/news/briefing/2021/3/605da0564/unhcr-reaches-destroyed-camps-northern-tigray.html

2. 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

3. The @WorldBank aims to reduce poverty & 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 @ADixon_WB @DFCgov @kyle_a_murphyhttps://apnews.com/bc1dba93de69415ee5da2663a87e8d1a

4. As #IMF welcomes Ethiopia’s request for debt treatment under the G20 Common Framework, they are effectively funding war crimes & encouraging @AbiyAhmedAli’s economic mismanagement. They must deny all aid! #TigrayGenocide @IFC_org @DFCgov @HafezGhanem_WB https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/28/scale-of-tigray-horror-adds-to-pressure-on-ethiopian-leader

5. .@AbiyAhmedAli received 3 billion in aid from @WorldBank in 2019 & promised to transition Ethiopia to a “prosperous & peaceful nation.” He is far from proving this. As leaders you must hold him accountable to deliver. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBG https://www.voanews.com/africa/ethiopia-get-3-billion-loan-world-bank

6. People are intentionally being starved by @AbiyAhmedAli’s Govt. & now he’s approved for billions in aid from @WorldBank & #IMF. Where do you draw the line, @DavidMalpassWBG? We ask for transparency on where he plans to spend this money. #TigrayGenocide https://apnews.com/article/world-news-ethiopia-a25a50a774da284122c74a0bc1428052

7. We ask that @WorldBank review @AbiyAhmedAli’s budget allocation & expenditure over the last 3 years. The public should know where money is being spent in Ethiopia, especially during conflict. #TigrayGenocide @wbg_gov @DavidMalpassWBG @HafezGhanem_WB https://www.voanews.com/africa/ethiopia-get-3-billion-loan-world-bank

8. .@WorldBank & @DFCgov should not support the privatization of @ethiotelecom. We ask for the withdraw of any bids. As secretive as @AbiyAhmedAli has been, how can we trust his next move isn’t rooted in war efforts? #TigrayGenocide @kyle_a_murphy @IFC_orghttps://www.foxnews.com/world/ethiopias-secret-war-in-tigray-region-ethnic-killings-rapes-near-starvation-reported

9. To @Safaricom_Care @MyGovKe it is critical that you withdraw your bid from @ethiotelecom. There is a genocidal war taking place in Ethiopia & any profits have the potential to go towards war efforts. Do you support war & the #TigrayGenocide? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ethiopia-tigray-news-executions-rape-war-atrocities-genocide/

10. Are you aware that @AbiyAhmedAli is trying to fund his war on Tigray with your help? We ask that @MTNGroup does their due diligence & cancel bids for @ethiotelecom. #TigrayGenocide@wimMTNUG @StephenBlewett @jschultebockum @DioumSerigne1 @PaulNormanMTNhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

11. Please sign the petition. World Bank needs to understand the potential role they could play in the #TigrayGenocide.
https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-suspend-loans-and-grants/

12. Privatization of Ethio Telecom should be suspended. Please sign the petition. #TigrayGenocide
https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-stop-privatization/

1. Privatizing @ethiotelecom has the potential to increase investment capital by attracting foreign investment & raising revenue for the government. This revenue could indirectly fund the #TigrayGenocide. @WorldBank @AxelVT_WB @MamtaMurthi @WBG_IDA @DFCgov https://www.theafricareport.com/39864/ethiopia-the-case-for-partial-privatization-of-ethio-telecom/

2. .@WorldBank & @DFCgov must refrain from participating on the privatization of @ethiotelecom. We demand withdraw of bids. Any profit gained has a massive potential to fund #TigrayGenocide. Please, do better. @kyle_a_murphy @wbg_gov @MIGA @SPimentaIFChttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/02/ethiopia-1900-people-killed-in-massacres-in-tigray-identified

3. .@WorldBank’s 4th core is Integrity. It requires the use of funds, resources, assets & authority according to the intended purposes aligned with public interest & with broader principles of good governance. @AbiyAhmedAli must be held accountable! #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBG

4. .@ethiotelecom has been weaponized against the people of Tigray. Unelected @AbiyAhmedAli uses communication as a tool of war. Cease & desist all deals regarding infrastructure in Ethiopia until the #TigrayGenocide investigations are complete. @Vodacom https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/eu-calls-on-ethiopia-to-lift-tigray-communications-blackout-as-sudan-refugee-camps-get-overcrowded/vi-BB1bCXFx

5. Any deal with unelected @AbiyAhmedAli is contributing to #TigrayGenocide. Do not enable weaponized starvation and weaponized rape by the Ethiopian government. Halt any bids on @ethiotelecom @Vodacom @AxianGroup @MTNGroup @LiquidInTech @DouglasMboweni @benliquidkenya@DFCgov

6. Any entity that turns a blind eye to the human rights violations rampant in Tigray, in order to benefit from the turmoil caused by unelected @AbiyAhmedAli’s #TigrayGenocide is complicit & will be held accountable. That includes you @NicRudnick @eboggsdavidsen @AlgeneSajery46

7. The Ethiopian govt. is engaged in massacring civilians, blocking aid, destroying hospitals & religious sites. @AbiyAhmedAli should be sanctioned not rewarded on #TigrayGenocide @Safaricom_Care withdraw bids for @ethiotelecom. @MyGovKe @SpokespersonGoK @ForeignOfficeKE @DFCgov

8. Many healthcare facilities built with funds given by #IMF & @WorldBank were intentionally destroyed by @AbiyAhmedAli during this genocidal war. @WorldBank should be furious about those actions, rather than reward him with more funding. @DFCgov @wbg_gov https://www.msf.org/health-facilities-targeted-tigray-region-ethiopia

9. Privatizing @ethiotelecom has the potential to increase investment capital by attracting foreign investment & raising revenue for the government. This revenue could indirectly fund the #TigrayGenocide. @WorldBank @AxelVT_WB @MamtaMurthi @WBG_IDA @DFCgov https://www.theafricareport.com/39864/ethiopia-the-case-for-partial-privatization-of-ethio-telecom/

10. “The @WorldBank is preparing a new Digital Ethiopia Foundations project & invest some $200 million in the country’s digital economy”. We are highly concerned that profits from privatizations will indirectly support war efforts. @IFC_org @Diop_IFC @DFCgov https://blogs.worldbank.org/africacan/why-ethiopia-needs-open-its-telecom-market

11. .@WorldBank & @DFCgov must refrain from participating on the privatization of @ethiotelecom. We demand withdraw of bids. Any profit gained has a massive potential to fund #TigrayGenocide. Please, do better. @kyle_a_murphy @wbg_gov @MIGA @SPimentaIFChttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/02/ethiopia-1900-people-killed-in-massacres-in-tigray-identified

12. Let’s help stop the #TigrayGenocide. Please sign both petitions.
1) Suspend Grants https://omnatigray.org/petition-to-suspend-loans-and-grants/2) Stop Privatizationhttps://omnatigray.org/petition-to-stop-privatization/

1. Ethiopia is facing intense scrutiny over human rights violations. Please do your due diligence & consider your role in funding this war. Are you a supporter of genocide? #TigrayGenocide @NicRudnick @wimMTNUG @GovernmentZA @MyGovKe @benliquidkenya @GEPF_SAhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/01/africa/tigray-mahibere-dego-massacre-video-cmd-intl/index.html

2. It’s clear that @AbiyAhmedAli mismanages money. He’s brought Ethiopia’s economy to the ground by going to war with his own country. Add war crimes to the list. How can you support this? #TigrayGenocide? @WorldBankMENA @SecYellen @kanshul @kyle_a_murphyhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/02/africa/tigray-soldier-massacre-ethiopia-response-intl/index.html

3. .@wbg_gov World Bank principles state resources and assets must be used for what’s intended. Ethiopia has been using money from WB for the war on Tigray. @WorldBank should not finance @ethiotelecom bid by @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom @AxianGroup @MTNGroup @DFCgov #TigrayGenocide

4. Ethiopia is guilty of ethnic cleansing & has the worst humanitarian crisis in the HOA if not in the world. @AbiyAhmedAli will be in @IntlCrimCourt for war crimes & genocide. Shame on you if you bid for @ethiotelecom. @MTNGroup @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom @AxianGroup #TigrayGenocide

5. Investing in @ethiotelecom while Ethiopia is orchestrating a genocidal war will cause more instability in HOA. @AbiyAhmedAli will use profits for war. You support this? #TigrayGenocide @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom @AxianGroup @NicRudnick @jschultebockumhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/02/africa/tigray-soldier-massacre-ethiopia-response-intl/index.html

6. It’s important that @WorldBank hold Ethiopia accountable for crimes against humanity. How can WB naively give money to @AbiyAhmedAli when he’s actively destroying the country? Be responsible & suspend all aid! #TigrayGenocide @HafezGhanem_WB @SPimentaIFC https://www.voanews.com/africa/g-7-nations-call-swift-withdrawal-eritrean-troops-tigray

7. Analysis of massacre video raises questions for Ethiopian Army. It raise questions for @WorldBank as well. Will you be complicit in @AbiyAhmedAli’s war on humanity? Suspend aid. Don’t escalate the #TigrayGenocide. @FeridBelhaj @DFCgov @KFinkelstonhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/01/africa/tigray-mahibere-dego-massacre-video-cmd-intl/index.html

8. IMF is an organization that aims to reduce poverty and ensure stability & peace through economic means. However, providing funding to a country at war with its own people will threaten any possibility of peace & stability. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBG @WorldBankAfrica

9. The WB mission is “to reduce poverty, & improve living standards by promoting sustainable growth & investment in people.” But @AbiyAhmedAli is killing people. Are you holding him accountable or funding #TigrayGenocide? @HafezGhanem_WB @SPimentaIFC @DFCgovhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/04/01/africa/tigray-mahibere-dego-massacre-video-cmd-intl/index.html

10. The G7 group of leading economic powers has said it is “strongly concerned” by reports of human rights abuses in Ethiopia’s conflict-hit Tigray region. And what does @WorldBank do, reward the country with money. Absurd. #TigrayGenocide @DavidMalpassWBGhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/g7-condemns-rights-abuses-in-tigray-conflict/ar-BB1ffdcd
