2. Last June’s #TogogaMassacre was a precursor to what Abiy Ahmed & Isaias Afwerki are capable of doing to innocent civilians. Today, airstrikes continue to hit Tigray causing even more civilian casualties. It’s time to impose #NoFlyZoneInTigray @USNATO @UN https://www.bbc.com/news/57602162

3. #NoFlyZoneInTigray must be implemented to prevent further airstrikes by the Ethiopian govt. Civilians are being targeted.

10. The silence of the @NobelPrize Committee while their awardee is bombing Tigray and orchestrating a man-made famine is disturbing. The reputation of your committee is at stake here. #StopBombingTigray @torilrok @IntlPeaceBureau @IngvillBR @ReOxelstrom https://twitter.com/dwnews/status/1451938967578873857?s=21

#StopBombingTigray Pt. 3

1. How many more bombs have to be dropped on civilians before a #NoFlyZoneInTigray is declared? How many more innocent Tigrayans have to die at the hands of the Ethiopian government? @UNHumanRights @NadaNashif @mbachelet @antonioguterres #StopBombingTigray https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-conflict/tigrayan-tv-ethiopia-air-strike-kills-3-civilians-govt-says-factory-hit-idUSKBN2HI1NJ

6. Ethiopia’s systematic destruction of Tigray, has left the regions’s healthcare system decimated.

7. Families are already starving from a man-made famine designed by @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias Afwerki. Now, to bomb these same civilians is cruel.

8. Airstrikes on Tigrayan civilians have been a strategy for the Ethiopian govt since the start of the #TigrayGenocide. It is a tactic to terrorize the people of Tigray into subjugation. Protect civilians. Instate #NoFlyZoneInTigray ! #StopBombingTigray @StateDept @UN_HCR @USAmbUN

9. .@AbiyAhmed has undermined Int’l law & order since coming to power in 2018. With his leadership, the word is witnessing an active genocide.

Posted on by Zaid Gote
#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.

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

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.

3. Tigray was bombed today by the Ethiopian gov’t. The recent airstrikes show Ethiopia is targeting innocent civilians in Tigray & not military targets. The US must protect innocent civilians. #StopBombingTigray @SenateForeignn @RepGregoryMeeks @SenSchumer https://nation.africa/kenya/news/africa/ethiopian-military-airstrikes-kill-3-in-tigray-capital–3587782

4. Ethiopian gov’t is bombing + terrorizing Tigrayans while they are facing famine due to aid blockages by forces allied to the Ethiopian gov’t and the complete destruction of Tigray’s agriculture by these same forces. #StopBombingTigray @RepGregoryMeeks https://nation.africa/kenya/news/africa/ethiopian-military-airstrikes-kill-3-in-tigray-capital–3587782

5. Just a few weeks before the 1 year anniversary of #Ethiopia’s war on #Tigray, Abiy Ahmed has once again proven to be a war criminal by bombing the most populated city in Tigray. #MekelleUnderAttack #StopBombingTigray @BorisJohnson @RepBrianMast #TigrayGenocide

6. Nearly a whole year of Ethiopia intentionally targeting ethnic Tigrayans. Today we witnessed bombings on civilians in Tigray’s capital city Mekelle, a city still recovering from an invasion. @UN @RepGregoryMeeks #MekelleUnderAttack #StopBombingTigray @EP_President @RepSarbanes

7. “They arrested me from the street because I spoke Tigrinya”. Tigrayans are being targeted both in & out of Tigray. Ethiopia has made it clear that their war is against an entire ethnic group, this is a Genocide! @IntlCrimCourt @USNATO #StopBombingTigray https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/ethiopia-conflict-tigrayans/

8. Ethiopia has targeted civilians in Tigray for too long without being held accountable. Civilians should not be targets, sanction Ethiopia now! #MekelleUnderAttack #StopBombingTigray @NorwayUN @USUN @Birmo https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2021/10/18/air-strikes-hit-capital-of-ethiopias-tigray-regional-media

9. One week after the US threatens sanctions, Ethiopia bombs Tigray’s capital. The Ethiopian govt refuses negotiations & has escalated the conflict. Per the executive order, the US must impose sanctions. @JoeBiden @StateDept @SecBlinken #StopBombingTigray https://www.ibtimes.com/deadly-air-strikes-hit-capital-ethiopias-tigray-3318820

10. Ethiopia is using aerial bombardment to terrorize innocent civilians. They bombed 64 people in the #TogogaMassacre and today, they bombed civilians in Tigray. We demand the @UN implement a #NoFlyZoneInTigray to prevent further death! #StopBombingTigray https://www.ibtimes.com/deadly-air-strikes-hit-capital-ethiopias-tigray-3318820

#StopBombingTigray Pt. 2

1. Mekelle, Tigray is still recovering from famine and lack of aid, yet @AbiyAhmedAli is sending airstrikes on market day. Intervention is needed now! @NormaJTorres #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @EUatUN https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/10/18/africa/ethiopia-tigray-mekelle-airstrikes-intl/index.html

2. Our pleas to the the int’l community to uphold their principles to protect civilians facing a genocide has been falling on deaf ears for 11+ months. Their inaction to stop. @AbiyAhmedAli keeps costing lives #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @MexOnu @franceonu @NATOCanada @UN

3. Once again, @AbiyAhmedAli is openly bombing civilians in Tigray. #MekelleUnderAttack . We demand @UN implement a #NoFlyZoneInTigray. ACT NOW #StopBombingTigray @SecBlinken @USAmbUN @StateDept @USUN @USUNSpox @WHCOS @USAID @DeputySecState @unicefchief @UnderSecStateP @UnderSecPD

4. .@AbiyAhmedAli faced no consequences for #TogogaMassacre from IC and as a result, he launched additional airstrikes on civilians of Mekelle. This has always been a war on the people of Tigray. #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @LindaT_G @SecBlinken @USAmbUN @StateDept @USUN

5. Targeting civilians is a war crime yet the international community has failed to hold @AbiyAhmedAli accountable.

6. There hasn’t been fighting in Mekelle in months. Flying warplanes to Mekelle to bomb civilians is incomprehensible. @AbiyAhmedAli must be stopped and brought to justice. @MexOnu @NorwayUN @USUN @LindaT_G @ICC @POTUS https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/18/air-strikes-hit-capital-of-ethiopias-tigray-regional-media

7. The Abiy regime has been emboldened by the IC’s inaction. Failure to decisively respond to today’s war crimes in #Mekelle will invite more impunity. Inaction is not an option! #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @SecBlinken @JosepBorrellF @USNATO @franceonu @_AfricanUnion

8. Threats of sanctions on Ethiopia and Eritrea has done nothing to prevent human rights abuses. Today, the Ethiopian govt bombed Mekelle, killing and injuring civilians. Sanctions must be enforced! @SecBlinken @POTUS @VP @jakejsullivan #StopBombingTigray https://www.ibtimes.com/deadly-air-strikes-hit-capital-ethiopias-tigray-3318820

9. The Ethiopian govt is bombing citizens, during an ongoing famine.

10. Tigray’s capital is home to 500K residents & hundreds of thousands of IDPs. Today, @AbiyAhmedAli performed an airstrike to intentionally target civilians.

This is a Genocide. @IntlCrimCourt & the @UN must take meaningful action! @KenyaMissionUN @irishmissionun @PmTunisia #StopBombingTigray https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/mekelle-capital-ethiopias-tigray-hit-by-air-strikes-regional-tv-2021-10-18/

#StopBombingTigray Pt. 3

1. Per @HRW “The prohibition against intentional attacks against civilians is absolute.” By bombing #Mekelle, the Abiy gov’t is violating int’l law & committing war crimes. Act now to save lives! #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @UN @UNHumanRights @UKUN_NewYork

2. Per article 8 of @IntlCrimCourt’s Rome statue, “intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population” is a WAR CRIME. Ethiopia is committing war crimes in full view of the IC! #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @Europarl_EN@JosepBorrellF @StateDept @USUN @G7

3. . @IntlCrimCourt’s Rome Statue states that “attacking or bombarding, by whatever means, towns, villages, dwellings or buildings which are undefended and which are not military objectives” is a WAR CRIME. #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @RussiaUN @_AfricanUnion @UN

4. Article 7 of Rome Statue of the @IntlCrimCourt states that “an attack directed against any civilian population” is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. Act now to protect thousands of civilians. #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @VietNam_UN @KenyaMissionUN @irishmissionun @NorwayUN

5. Any attack committed as “part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population” is a crime against humanity in int’l law. The IC MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @LindaT_G @JustinTrudeau @EmmanuelMacron @G7 @SecBlinken

6. Emboldened by the int’l community’s lack of action, Abiy’s regime has begun carrying out bombardments of civilian settlements. How many more #Tigrayan lives have to be lost before the world TAKES ACTION? #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @MexOnu @franceonu @NATOCanada @UN

7. Targeting civilians is a war crime and crime against humanity in int’l law. The bombing of #Mekelle must be a RED LINE for the int’l community. This violation must be met with swift and decisive action! #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @MexOnu @franceonu @NATOCanada @UN

8. It is a betrayal of all of Canada’s values to continue funding & supporting a regime which is openly bombing civilians. Defund & sanction the Ethiopian regime for its war crimes & crimes against humanity! #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @JustinTrudeau @NATOCanada @CanadaFP

9. A regime which bombs civilians and commits war crimes & crimes against humanity does not adhere to the Human Rights standards of @AGOAinfo. #RemoveEthiopiaFromAgoa to save thousands of lives! #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @SecBlinken @StateDept @POTUS @AmbassadorTai

#StopBombingTigray Pt. 4

1. This week, healthcare workers in Mekelle protested Ethiopia’s medieval blockade. Today, they faced air strikes that killed several civilians! With no medicine to aid the injured, the death toll will surely rise. #StopBombingTigray @eu_echo @EP_Development https://twitter.com/Sebawyan/status/1449385301076500484/video/1

2. The Ethiopian govt has begun conducting airstrikes on civilians facing the world’s worst famine in blockaded #Tigray. The inaction of world leaders is only emboldening Ethiopia’s state terrorism! #StopBombingTigray @thinkper @Europarl_EN @hickspeggy https://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-crisis-hunger-malnutrition-a772602d2caac96e8024769c012ce8c6

3. AGOA demands that a nation must “not engage in gross violations of internationally recognized human rights” to receive preferential trade status. Ethiopia’s latest airstrikes on Mekelle should undoubtedly expel their AGOA status. #StopBombingTigray @AmbassadorTai @eu_echo

4. .@AbiyAhmedAli faced no consequences after airstrikes killed dozens of civilians in the #TogogaMassacre. Today, he continued his state terrorism with fresh air strikes on civilians in Mekelle. Your inaction is deadly @LindaT_G @AmbassadorTai @JDevermont @UN #MekelleUnderAttack

5. Children in blockaded Tigray have no access to medicine, vaccinations, food or education. @AbiyAhmedAli is determined to cut off any chance for their survival as he renews air strikes in Mekelle today #StopBombingTigray @HHS_Global @USAID @WHCOS @GlobalHealthOrg @UnderSecStateJ

6. The Ethiopian govt’s decision to bomb Mekelle, Tigray’s capital, which has been free of armed conflict for months, demonstrates their desire to terrorize the civilian population. Take action! @ChrisPappasNH @RepBarbaraLee @CongressmanRaja #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack

7. CIVILIANS ARE NOT TARGETS! Nearly one year into #TigrayGenocide & the Ethiopian govt still cannot make the distinction; aerial bombing Tigray’s most populated city resulting in “many casualties.” #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @UNGeneva @UNOSAPG https://news.yahoo.com/air-strikes-hit-capital-ethiopias-124554881.html

8. The Ethiopian govt’s airstrikes today in Mekelle, a market day for the Tigrayan capital, is reminiscent of the airstrike that struck Togoga’s busy marketplace months prior & shows that Abiy Ahmed is not interested in peace. #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @michaelgwaltz

9. Talks of concern by the int’l community have clearly had little to no impact on @AbiyAhmedAli’s genocidal regime. Emboldened by inaction, the Ethiopian govt continues to target civilians. #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @USAID @NormaJTorres @EUatUN https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/18/africa/ethiopia-tigray-mekelle-airstrikes-intl/index.html

10.

#StopBombingTigray Pt. 5

1. Tigray’s civilian population has been suffering from #TigrayGenocide for nearly a year. Ethiopia’s airstrikes on the regional capital of Mekelle today mark the federal Govt’s intensified efforts to terrorize Tigrayans. @UN @JanezLenarcic #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack

3. In what other country does a humanitarian ceasefire include aerial bombardments? Ethiopian forces’ execution of airstrikes near a market in Mekelle, show no concern for civilians. #StopBombingTigray #MekelleUnderAttack @SecBlinken @USAmbUN @StateDept @UN https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/18/africa/ethiopia-tigray-mekelle-airstrikes-intl/index.html

5. The Ethiopian govt has once again resorted to bombing civilians to win its genocidal war on Tigray. The Int’l community must go beyond concerns & institute a non-fly zone to save civilians who are facing famine. #StopBombingTigray @RepGusBilirakis @Birmo https://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-crisis-hunger-malnutrition-a772602d2caac96e8024769c012ce8c6

6. How can IGAD @icpac_igad keep supporting Ethiopia’s genocidal regime as it continues to target civilians in Tigray?

7. After almost 1 year of #TigrayGenocide, the #Eth govt. continues to commit war crimes to win its genocidal war. The most recent offense is bombing Tigray’s capital as a means to terrorize & instill fear among Tigrayans. #StopBombingTigray @G7 @USAID https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/18/africa/ethiopia-tigray-mekelle-airstrikes-intl/index.html

8. Int’l leaders continue to just wait & see what happens before taking meaningful action to stop #TigrayGenocide. Today, like the #TogogaMassacre, Ethiopia bombed civilians on a market day. It’s beyond time to ACT! #StopBombingTigray @JoeBiden @StateDept https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/18/africa/ethiopia-tigray-mekelle-airstrikes-intl/index.html

How many more innocent people will die on your watch? @DrWorkneh @igadcewarn #StopBombingTigray https://www.ibtimes.com/deadly-air-strikes-hit-capital-ethiopias-tigray-3318820
