2. “In the largest hospital in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, a child wounded in an air strike bled to death after doctors ran out of gauze and intravenous fluids.

6. “About 82% of essential drugs were available at the hospital a year ago, compared to 17.5% by the end of 2021.” Humanitarian access must be expedited to save the #ChildrenOfTigray. @UN ACT NOW TO #EndTigraySiege! @unicefchief @PalomaUnicef @USAmbUN https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/doctors-say-lives-are-lost-hospitals-ethiopias-tigray-due-dwindling-supplies-2022-01-05/

10. The @UN stated there is “a de facto blockade” with hundreds of thousands of people living in famine-like conditions, but has failed to help.

9. It’s a travesty of justice that the @IntlCrimCourt is failing to do what it claims it’s responsible for.

10. The @IntlCrimCourt must pressure the Ethiopian govt to stop war crimes. But instead, the #ICC remains silent as drone attacks on civilians intensify, and an already dire humanitarian crisis spirals out of control. #EndTigraySiege @WBHoekstra @MinPres https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/1/8/dozens-killed-in-ethiopian-air-strike-on-idp-camp-in-tigray

15. .@AbiyAhmedAli offers words of reconciliation then shortly after, carries out drone attacks on children sleeping in a displacement camp on Orthodox Christmas. The blockade must be lifted so the #ChildrenOfTigray can receive care. @goarch @BishopAngaelos https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-59921355
16. The number of injured in drone attacks are rising, with more deaths anticipated due to the collapse of Tigray’s healthcare system. An arms embargo on Ethiopia, Eritrea + the countries supplying drones must be enforced. @POTUS @USTradeRep #EndTigraySiege https://twitter.com/OmnaTigray/status/1480756612847398914?s=20

8. “One month ago, everything ran out,” Girmanesh Meles, mother to an 18-month old baby, told Al Jazeera. “It became normal to spend four days eating nothing.” How can the #ICC allow the gravest humanitarian crisis to continue? #EndTigraySiege @Lacroix_UN https://theowp.org/tigrays-humanitarian-crisis-worsens-as-starvation-spreads/

Foreign involvement is hindering diplomatic solutions to the war in Ethiopia. “Over the past four months, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Iran have quietly supplied Mr. Abiy with some of the latest armed drones.” #StopWarOnTigray @StateDept @UN https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/20/world/africa/drones-ethiopia-war-turkey-emirates.html?referringSource=articleShare
5. Silence from @StateDept @UN @EU_Commission on foreign involvement is widely noticeable. “Mr. Abiy built his drone arsenal by tapping …foreign autocrats and a booming segment of the global arms trade.” UAE is Ethiopia’s main supplier. #StopDroneAttacks https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/20/world/africa/drones-ethiopia-war-turkey-emirates.html?referringSource=articleShare
7. The Ethiopian govt has targeted Tigray with a series of airstrikes in recent days, resulting in massive civilian casualties. Why is the @IntlCrimCourt allowing Turkey, UAE & China to prolong the war? #StopDroneAttacks @SecBlinken @jakejsullivan @UNGeneva https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/04/ethiopia-turkey-pact-fuels-speculation-about-drone-use-in-tigray-war
8. Drones supplied by UAE, Turkey and China continue attacking Tigrayan civilians and infrastructure. In the town of Alamata, six rounds of airstrikes killed 28 and injured many more civilians. #StopWarOnTigray @RepChuck @RepMaloney @FrankPallonehttps://twitter.com/NegasiTeklai/status/1471547865411747840/video/1
9. The Ethiopian govt’s airstrikes in Tigray are targeted at civilians and civilian infrastructures, in an attempt to terrorize the population into submission. These drone attacks must stop. #StopWarOnTigray @jensstoltenberg @NATOinAustralia @ItalyatNATOhttps://www.africanews.com/2021/12/21/air-strikes-kill-at-least-28-people-in-ethiopia-s-tigray-region/
10. Ongoing drone attacks on civilians by @PMEthiopia, even after Tigrayan forces have withdrawn to Tigray, is a clear indication that Abiy Ahmed is NOT willing to negotiate. Sanctions & arms embargo on Ethiopia is needed! #StopWarOnTigray @POTUS @ChrisCoons https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/tigray-forces-withdraw-neighbouring-ethiopian-regions-spokesperson-2021-12-20/
11. Air strikes on populated areas in Tigray have become a disgustingly common tactic by Abiy Ahmed. With drones purchased from Turkey, Ethiopia has killed scores of civilians in the past week. #StopDroneAttacks @LindaT_G @AmbassadorRice @DicarloRosemaryhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/04/ethiopia-turkey-pact-fuels-speculation-about-drone-use-in-tigray-war
12. .@PMEthiopia’s refusal to cooperate with @UN OHCHR’s independent investigation, as he continues to commit war crimes in Tigray, is a huge red flag that must be taken seriously by int’l leaders. #StopWarOnTigray @BradSherman @CongressmanRaja @RepSarbanes https://omnatigray.org/a-glimpse-into-the-false-start-and-the-dangers-surrounding-the-joint-ehrc-ohchr-investigation-in-tigray/
13. Ethiopia’s use of drones to target civilians in Tigray is a violation of Int’l law. Children are amongst the dead. We are calling for a no-fly zone for hostile aircraft over Tigray and an arms embargo on Ethiopia. #StopDroneAttacks @USNATO @eucopresident https://somaliguardian.com/news/africa/drone-strikes-kill-dozens-in-ethiopias-tigray-after-tplf-rebels-announced-retreat/amp/
14. Multiple countries are supplying Ethiopia with weapons to continue the war on Tigray. The UAE, China, Turkey and Russia to name a few. This is all while millions of civilians in Tigray are under siege. #StopWarOnTigray @DepSecDef @PentagonPresSec @NATO https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2021/12/the-uae-joins-tigray-war-emirati-wing.html?m=1
#StopWarOnTigray Pt. 3
1. “We are using our bare hands to treat the casualties here b/c we couldn’t get medical equipment, including gloves. We are desperate to save the lives of injured ones at the hospital, but it’s beyond our control.” #StopWarOnTigray @jensstoltenberg @MSF https://twitter.com/tsabawian/status/1473402289662709762?s=21
2. “As a member of the investigation team, he was supposed to be open-minded & not second-guess the response of the victims..” Tigray needs independent investigations where victims are not silenced by the Ethiopian govt. #StopWarOnTigray @TheDemocratshttps://omnatigray.org/a-glimpse-into-the-false-start-and-the-dangers-surrounding-the-joint-ehrc-ohchr-investigation-in-tigray/
3. The Int’l community carries the responsibility to protect civilians by adequately taking action to halt genocide. The @UN Security Council must use that power to stop drone attacks in Tigray. #StopDroneAttacks @KenyaMissionUN @irishmissionun @NorwayUN https://twitter.com/tsabawian/status/1473402289662709762?s=21
4. “..when investigating the atrocities that happened in Mai Kadra, they showed reluctance in uncovering the truth from the Tigrayan victims and survivors..” We are still calling for independent investigations in Tigray. #StopWarOnTigray @AJEnglish @nytimeshttps://omnatigray.org/a-glimpse-into-the-false-start-and-the-dangers-surrounding-the-joint-ehrc-ohchr-investigation-in-tigray/
5. Int’l leaders must take meaningful action to #StopWarOnTigray. Otherwise, you are signaling that war crimes and genocide are acceptable norms. It is your Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and uphold International law. @UNHumanRights @antonioguterres https://twitter.com/tsabawian/status/1473402289662709762?s=21
6. “Instead of going into the investigations without preconceived notions about the atrocities and the identity of the perpetrators, the @EthioHRC was biased from the start..” Tigray needs independent investigations. #StopWarOnTigray @UN_HRC @AUC_PAPS @hrw https://omnatigray.org/a-glimpse-into-the-false-start-and-the-dangers-surrounding-the-joint-ehrc-ohchr-investigation-in-tigray/
7. How can we expect Tigray to survive drone attacks when the region is already under an imposed siege by the Ethiopian govt? Medication, supplies, and food are critically low. This is inhumane. #StopWarOnTigray @davidcicilline @RepGusBilirakis @RepTedDeutchhttps://twitter.com/tsabawian/status/1473402289662709762?s=21
9. In Tigray, dozens of civilians are being killed on a daily basis due to the massive deployment of drones by @PMEthiopia. Ethnic Tigrayans continue to be the main target of @AbiyAhmedAli’s genocidal campaign. #StopDroneAttacks #TigrayGenocide @MarinaSereni https://www.africanews.com/2021/12/21/air-strikes-kill-at-least-28-people-in-ethiopia-s-tigray-region/
10. Forced starvation, denial of medicines & systematic carpet bombing of civilian areas are being used by @PMEthiopia to kill & subjugate Tigrayans into submission. Children are the everyday victims of these heinous crimes. #StopWarOnTigray @PieroBenassi https://twitter.com/drmahmoudrefaat/status/1473066560080207881?s=21
11. .@PMEthiopia launched 6 rounds of drone strikes in Tigray targeting and killing 28 civilians & injuring dozens more. The impunity emboldening Abiy Ahmed’s war crimes cannot be tolerated anymore. #StopWarOnTigray @fattoquotidiano @EUAmbUS @vestager https://twitter.com/NegasiTeklai/status/1471547865411747840?s=20
12. The deliberate targeting of civilians by drone strikes is one of @PMEthiopia’s main strategies to exterminate and terrorize Tigrayans into submission. #StopWarOnTigray @marcotravaglio @ItalyUN_Vienna @AustriaUN @MFAofArmenia @MentanaEnrico https://twitter.com/drmahmoudrefaat/status/1473066560080207881?s=21
13. As the targeting of civilians intensifies, the imposition of a no-fly zone is the only chance to prevent further deadly airstrikes by @PMEthiopia. Abiy Ahmed impunity must end! #StopWarOnTigray #StopDroneAttacks @PieroBenassi @KarimKhanQC @JosepBorrellF https://www.africanews.com/2021/12/21/air-strikes-kill-at-least-28-people-in-ethiopia-s-tigray-region/
14. The deployment of drones has once again intensified, as @PMEthiopia is now widely operating UAE/Turkish UAVs in Tigray, killing 100s of civilians just in the last week. An arms embargo is vital to halt Abiy’s genocidal campaign. #StopDroneAttacks @USAmbUN https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/20/world/africa/drones-ethiopia-war-turkey-emirates.html

1. The #TigrayGenocide is being executed under a strategic communication blackout.

5. Tigrayans are experiencing mass atrocities. Lack of intervention from the Int’l community has only emboldened @AbiyAhmedAli to continuously block media access to Tigray & block aid to those dying. We must #ReconnectTigray! @UN_Women @StateDept @USUNSpox https://theconversation.com/mass-atrocities-in-ethiopia-expose-the-limitations-of-early-warning-tools-172244

10. Democracy in Ethiopia is under attack. Journalists covering the #TigrayGenocide are being abducted, put into concentration camps, and tortured. Please demand the release of Fitsum Berhane, Alula Akalu and Girmay Gebru. #ReconnectTigray @StateDept @USUN https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-conflict-journalists/three-workers-for-foreign-media-arrested-in-ethiopias-tigray-region-idUSKCN2AU163
11. “On Facebook, calls for the murder & mass internment of ethnic Tigrayans have proliferated.” As Ethiopia bans independent journalists from reporting on the war, misinformation & hate speech against Tigrayans intensifies. #TigrayGenocide @ICFJ @UNOSAPG https://restofworld.org/2021/why-facebook-keeps-failing-in-ethiopia/
12. The @UN has a day dedicated to celebrating “World Press Freedom Day,” however, in Ethiopia, the freedom of press is replaced by state propaganda. The UN must stop @PMEthiopia’s war on journalists. #ReconnectTigray @UruguayONU @RMIMission @irishmissionun https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/freelance-journalist-accredited-to-ap-detained-in-ethiopia/ar-AARQFQt

15. The Ethiopian govt has used the media blackout in Tigray to continue committing atrocities in the dark. Int’l leaders must pressure the Ethiopian Govt to #ReconnectTigray + conduct independent investigations. @jakejsullivan @ambassadorRice @DeputySecState https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/new-wave-abuses-alleged-ethiopia-s-tigray-n1286091
16. The international community must condemn the harassment and intimidation of journalists, restrictions of media access, and all other efforts to suppress news about the #TigrayGenocide. #ReconnectTigray @BulgariaUNHCR @CzechUNNY @Denmark_UN @franceonu https://www.voanews.com/a/press-freedom_ethiopian-journalist-attacked-her-home-questioned-tigray-connections/6201958.html
#ReconnectTigray Pt. 2
1. One year after Michelle Gavin of @CFR_org stated, “Journalists are being beaten and harassed, presumably for reporting the truth and sullying the rosy rhetoric from the leadership in Addis Ababa,” media repression in #Ethiopia persists. #ReconnectTigray https://www.cfr.org/blog/amid-misinformation-and-suppressed-free-speech-ethiopian-conflict-erodes-abiys-credibility
2. Journalists are pivotal for #TigrayGenocide documentation, yet “Ethiopia (has) brutally slammed the door on press freedom” to prevent atrocities committed by Ethiopian and allied forces against Tigrayans from being reported on. #ReconnectTigray @RandPaul https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/12/9/record-number-of-journalists-jailed-in-2021-cpj
3. The Ethiopian govt’s smear campaign against journalists is an act of desperation to prevent the truth about #TigrayGenocide from coming out.

4. Due to @AbiyAhmedAli’s repressive regime, Ethiopian journalists like Lucy Kassa often get defamed after publishing a story on #TigrayGenocide. “Its aim is to bully me and stop me from investigating, to harass and threaten me.” #ReconnectTigray @WHCOS https://www.vice.com/en/article/qjbpd7/how-facebook-is-stoking-a-civil-war-in-ethiopia
5. “From the start of the Tigray conflict, Ethiopia’s govt sought to limit information.

6. “Lack of electricity and telecommunications in Tigray…(are) causing delay or lack of reporting and information on the situation.” Ethiopia must #ReconnectTigray to stop further hindrances to humanitarian services and preventable deaths. @UNReliefChief https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/Situation%20Report%20-%20Ethiopia%20-%20Northern%20Ethiopia%20Humanitarian%20Update%20-%2025%20Nov%202021.pdf
7. With millions facing famine in Tigray, “the blackout of electricity, telecom, and internet throughout [the] Tigray region will only exacerbate the already dire humanitarian situation.” Telecomm services must be restored. #ReconnectTigray @SenatorMenendez https://www.independent.co.uk/news/ethiopia-denies-its-trying-to-suffocate-tigray-region-ethiopia-nairobi-united-nations-world-food-program-kenya-b1876951.html

9. A total “news blackout has been imposed to stop images and information from seeping out. But the truth is inescapable.” Ethiopia’s siege of Tigray aims to disconnect the region from the rest of the world. #ReconnectTigray @ColombiaONU @NLatUN @PLinUN https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2021/11/4/tigray-is-starving-it-is-time-for-the-un-to-act

10. In just the first 2 weeks of the war on Tigray, @PMEthiopia arrested 6 journalists for attempting to report on it. What is Abiy Ahmed hiding by pushing harsh emergency laws onto journalists? #ReconnectTigray @RepKarenBass @SpeakerPelosi @RepGregoryMeeks https://ipi.media/six-journalists-arrested-in-ethiopia-on-trumped-up-charges/
11. “Many, myself included, are harassed by government officials or targeted by doxxing campaigns for covering the conflict.” A year later and the attacks on freedom of press have escalated in order to hide the #TigrayGenocide. #ReconnectTigray @EU_Commission https://ipi.media/six-journalists-arrested-in-ethiopia-on-trumped-up-charges/
12. Journalism is not a crime. Brutalizing, abducting and murdering journalists are crimes against humanity – a violation of international law. The @UN and EU leaders must take action to stop @PMEthiopia’s genocidal campaign. #ReconnectTigray @UNHumanRights https://addisstandard.com/analysis-cpj-says-ethiopia-biggest-setback-for-media-freedom-in-sub-saharan-africa-two-journalists-shot-dead-a-dozen-remain-behind-bars-in-2021/

Obstructing the press by denying access to Tigray, imposing a telecom blackout + attacks and arbitrary detention of journalists must be condemned, and independent investigations must follow. #ReconnectTigray @UN_HRC https://cpj.org/2021/01/reporter-dawit-kebede-araya-shot-and-killed-in-ethiopia/

16. IGF2022 is held to exchange information and share good practices amongst those with policy-making power, so it’s quite concerning that Ethiopia, a country that keeps millions under siege, would be asked to host. #ReconnectTigray @intgovforum @PolandMFA https://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-crisis-hunger-malnutrition-a772602d2caac96e8024769c012ce8c6
#ReconnectTigray Pt. 2
1. Since Nov. 4, 2020, Tigray has faced a constant telecommunications blackout, a critical strategy of war orchestrated by @AbiyAhmedAli. This limits access to evidence of atrocities and deprives civilians of justice. # ReconnectTigray @ABlinken @USAmbUN https://www.accessnow.org/tigray-internet-shutdowns/
2. To control the narrative of the war on Tigray, @PMEthiopia has attempted to suppress journalism. Int’l journalists were expelled, while local journalists were attacked, harassed, detained and killed. #ReconnectTigray @dfatirl @HeikoMaas @RauZbigniew https://www.yahoo.com/now/journalist-shot-dead-ethiopias-tigray-163444166.html
3. Despite Ethiopia’s war on journalism, which includes the expulsion of international media, the horrific stories of atrocities in Tigray have come to light. If Tigray was reconnected, much more would be uncovered. #ReconnectTigray @marcorubio @timkaine https://www.politico.eu/article/ethiopia-expels-journalist-who-reported-on-atrocities-in-tigray/
4. Journalists have risked and lost their lives to tell stories of war and terror in Tigray. Attacks, detention and killing of journalists are crimes against humanity and must be condemned. #ReconnectTigray @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @FreedomofPress https://www.voanews.com/a/press-freedom_ethiopian-journalist-attacked-her-home-questioned-tigray-connections/6201958.htm
5. Justice must be served for journalists targeted & killed for covering the #TigrayGenocide. @AbiyAhmedAli’s regime has done everything to conceal atrocities. That is evident, even with the limited evidence we have. #ReconnectTigray @CzechMFA @PolandMFA https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/03/ethiopia-tigray-violence-media-blackout.html
6. Since the start of the war on Tigray, journalists have been imprisoned, tortured, and killed.

7. Journalists have done a remarkable job in exposing some of the atrocities of the #TigrayGenocide, under extremely difficult conditions, often risking their liberty and lives. Journalists must be protected to do their jobs @SecBlinken @UNHumanRights @USAID #ReconnectTigray
8. .@CPJAfrica reported that Ethiopia is one of the worst jailers of journalists in Africa. Several journalists have been killed while numerous are still imprisoned. We must collectively demand for their release. #ReconnectTigray @CFR_org @truthout @Snowden https://cpj.org/2021/12/ethiopia-civil-war-hopes-press-freedom/
9. In Nov. 2021, the Ethiopian government placed new restrictions on the press, forbidding reporting and information sharing about the war. This continuation of the information blockade must be condemned! @UN_HRC @ICIJorg #ReconnectTigray #TigrayGenocide https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/ethiopia-restricts-information-sharing-about-war-2021-11-26/

Why is Ethiopia hosting #IGF2022? #ReconnectTigray @KrzysiekSzubert @PremierRP_en @UNESCO https://restofworld.org/2021/why-facebook-keeps-failing-in-ethiopia/

Ethiopia has normalized digital hate speech and ethnic cleansing, and refuses to #ReconnectTigray. @intgovforum @ITU @YouthIGFSummit https://www.cgdev.org/blog/how-destroy-country-does-ethiopia-have-future
#ReconnectTigray Pt. 3

2. Journalists are targeted for fulfilling their primary duty of informing the public of what the Ethiopian govt wants to keep hidden. The govt is aggressively silencing opposing voices. #ReconnectTigray #TigrayGenocide @dfatirl @GermanyDiplo @LinhartBMEIA https://addisstandard.com/analysis-cpj-says-ethiopia-biggest-setback-for-media-freedom-in-sub-saharan-africa-two-journalists-shot-dead-a-dozen-remain-behind-bars-in-2021/
3. Publishing accounts that expose @PMEthiopia’s war crimes will either get you killed or detained in unknown places. The imposed telecommunication blackout on Tigray has resulted in an untold catastrophe. #ReconnectTigray @RepBera @DarrellIssa @CoryBooker https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/11/1105892
4. The rule of law is in total collapse in Ethiopia. Journalists are detained, tortured, killed, or disappear to conceal human rights atrocities.

5. The disregard for Int’l law by the Ethiopian Air Force (EAF) was unquestionable in the #TogogaMassacre.

#UNStopFailingTigray Pt. 1
1. It is clear that @MaureenAAchieng, @CNSozi & @ChiwaraLetty are not fit to represent the interest of women, especially those suffering from sexual violence. The @UN must intervene & replace them before matters get worse. @unwomenchief #UNStopFailingTigray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJKvslfV3lU
2. .@MaureenAAchieng had a scandalous discussion about her disinterest in Tigray & today she’s conducting damage control via @UNEthiopia. A person with such contempt for a whole region is not fit to lead. @UN must replace her. @USAmbUN #UNStopFailingTigrayhttps://twitter.com/UNEthiopia/status/1446145828620537859
5. Women of the @UN mocked Tigrayan rape survivors in a conversation behind closed doors. How can the @UN let deranged women such as @CNSozi, @ChiwaraLetty & @MaureenAAchieng hold such positions? They must go!@UN_Women @endrapeinwar #UNStopFailingTigrayhttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-58167818
6. Rape & sexual violence have been used as a weapon of war to inflict lasting physical & psychological damage on the women of Tigray. And while @UNEthiopia knows this, they still fail survivors. #UNStopFailingTigray @EU_Commission @UNGeneva @WHO @UNOCHAhttps://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/08/ethiopia-troops-and-militia-rape-abduct-women-and-girls-in-tigray-conflict-new-report/
7. The UN OIOS must investigate @MaureenAAchieng for breaching the standards of integrity expected of @UN staff! Maureen spoke with a propagator of anti-Tigrayan hate speech, and her remarks were hateful, conspiratorial & lacked impartiality. #UNStopFailingTigray @UNFPA
8. Does @PaulKagame know that @MaureenAAchieng of @UNEthiopia vilified Tigrayan migrants stranded in Saudi Arabia & spewed harmful conspiracy theories that Tigrayans wanted refuge in Rwanda since “guerrilla movements start from Rwanda”? #UNStopFailingTigrayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIoRMFkDHZQ
#UNStopFailingTigray Pt. 2
1. After mocking the pain of Tigrayans, @MaureenAAchieng proclaimed with disdain that she’d never go back to “that region”, referring to Tigray. To control the fallout, @UNEthiopia sent her to Tigray. It’s performative & not enough! @UN #UNStopFailingTigray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIoRMFkDHZQ
2. .@unwomenethiopia’s @ChiwaraLetty can be heard dismissing reports of weaponized rape in Tigray as “media hype.” How can she be trusted to deliver accountability & justice for thousands of Tigrayan survivors? #UNStopFailingTigray @MarisePayne @niinisto https://omnatigray.org/omna-tigray-leaked-audio-recording-of-tigray-meeting-on-weaponized-sgbv-held-by-the-ethiopian-country-offices-of-various-un-agencies/

7. By putting @MaureenAAchieng & @ChiwaraLetty in charge of the safety of rape survivors, @UN & @UN_Women are putting thousands of those lives at risk.

5. “I can never go back to that region,” said @MaureenAAchieng. If she is unwilling to serve those suffering in Tigray, why is she Chief at @IOMEthiopia? @UN & @UNMigration must take action NOW! #UNStopFailingTigray @regner_asa @SimaBahous@abhatiaunwomenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIoRMFkDHZQ
6. The @UN values integrity and impartiality in its conduct. @MaureenAAchieng describing groups as “vicious and dirty” violates the UN’s codes of conduct and tarnishes the entire organization. @UNDPPA @AmbMKimani @mbachelet @TimmermansEU #UNStopFailingTigrayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIoRMFkDHZQ
7. .@unwomenethiopia, @IOMEthiopia & @UNEthiopia spread serious violations of @UN’s respective agencies’ core values. Their vitriol against Tigray as it faces famine, mass arrest & weaponized rape must be investigated! #UNStopFailingTigray @UNReliefChiefhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/09/30/ethiopia-tigray-united-nations-famine/
9. Per @MaureenAAchieng, the @UNEthiopia twitter account is being used by @CNSozi to undermine reports from @UN and reflect the views of the individuals in Addis. Ethiopian gov’t has weaponized such statements to restrict aid + prolong #TigrayFamine. @USAID https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rExWe7l42UI
#UNStopFailingTigray Pt. 4
1. In a four-page memo signed by @ASteiner and sent to @antonioguterres, the @UNDP failed Tigray by justifying Ethiopia’s position in the war while Tigrayans faced mass atrocities at the hands of Ethiopian, Eritrean, & Amhara forces. #UNStopFailingTigray https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/03/09/ethiopia-tigray-conflict-united-nations-undp-memo-atrocities-ethnic-cleansing-allegations/
2. In a confidential memo, the @UNDP justified the collective punishment of Tigrayans & set the tone for @UN’s disastrous policy regarding Tigray. Tigrayans deserve accountability, justice, & access to resources and humanitarian aid. #UNStopFailingTigray https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/03/09/ethiopia-tigray-conflict-united-nations-undp-memo-atrocities-ethnic-cleansing-allegations/
3. A @UNDP memo “urges donor states to focus more on development & humanitarian goals & less on reprimanding the Ethiopian government over its human rights record & especially the excesses committed during the conflict.“ #UNStopFailingTigray #TigrayGenocide https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/03/09/ethiopia-tigray-conflict-united-nations-undp-memo-atrocities-ethnic-cleansing-allegations/
4. A memo by @ASteiner and @ahunnaeziakonwa “provides a largely sympathetic account of Ethiopia’s role in the crisis, echoing government talking points”. @UNDP must hold the Ethiopian Gov’t, a belligerent to the conflict, accountable. #UNStopFailingTigray https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/03/09/ethiopia-tigray-conflict-united-nations-undp-memo-atrocities-ethnic-cleansing-allegations/
5. Instead of advocating to protect Tigrayans from the Ethiopian gov’t & its forces who tortured, raped, killed + bombed Tigrayans, @ahunnaeziakonwa & @ASteiner justified the actions of the Ethiopian gov’t, a belligerent to the conflict. #UNStopFailingTigray https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/03/09/ethiopia-tigray-conflict-united-nations-undp-memo-atrocities-ethnic-cleansing-allegations/

#TigrayCantWait Pt. 3
#TigrayCantWait Pt. 1
5. .@UNOCHA has made clear that the lack of fuel, as well as drivers’ fears for their security are major impediments to aid delivery. Ethiopia must immediately provide unhindered and safe access to humanitarian orgs. @SecBlinken @HouseForeign #TigrayCantWait https://www.bbc.com/news/58681797
6. The expulsion of 7 @UNEthiopia officials shows that the Abiy Ahmed admin refuses to abide by Int’l law. Donor states must take decisive action to pressure the Ethiopian & Eritrean govts to end the deadly siege. @SecBlinken @StateDept #TigrayCantWait https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/09/30/ethiopia-tigray-united-nations-famine/
7. The siege on Tigray means the population has been cut off from electricity, banking, transportation, communication, food aid, medicine, fuel & cash supplies. Millions are at risk of death without immediate intervention. @StateDept @USAID #TigrayCantWait https://www.msn.com/en-sg/news/world/silent-killing-starvation-stalks-ethiopia-s-tigray/ar-AAOJuHD
9. Banks have remained closed. Telecommunication has been blocked. Fuel, water, medicine, & electricity have been cut off & aid has been hindered from reaching starving Tigrayans. Enough is enough! @UN Act Now. #TigrayCantWait @GermanyUN @UNGeneva @UNOSAPG https://www.npr.org/2021/09/20/1038858345/i-just-cry-dying-of-hunger-in-ethiopias-blockaded-tigray-region
10. “People’s skin color was beginning to change due to hunger; they looked emaciated with protruding skeletal bones,”..”If no urgent solution is found, we will lose many people due to hunger.” the aid group wrote. @POTUS – please take action. #TigrayCantWait https://www.npr.org/2021/09/20/1038858345/i-just-cry-dying-of-hunger-in-ethiopias-blockaded-tigray-region
#TigrayCantWait Pt. 2
1. The international community must do everything in its power to end the suffering in Tigray. The imposed siege is only exacerbating the manufactured famine. Children are starving. #TigrayCantWait @JoeBiden please act now. #TigrayGenocide @StateDept https://apnews.com/article/africa-united-nations-only-on-ap-famine-kenya-ef9fe79cc0cf35917fd190b6e9bd0f46
2. Tigray is in a complete siege as medication & emergency food stocks run out. Families of patients are standing by helplessly, having to watch their loved ones die of starvation. @UN ACT NOW! @KenyaMissionUN @Niger_ONU @PmTunisia @SVG_UN #TigrayCantWait https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/9/23/tigray-mothers-share-shocking-accounts-of-dire-famine-conditions
3. Children are intentionally being starved in Tigray while the region remains under siege. @POTUS – it’s critical that you take action before it’s too late. All telecommunications, internet & electricity must be restored. #TigrayCantWait @StateDeptPM @WFP https://apnews.com/article/africa-ethiopia-abiy-ahmed-09aee651e187b40365c5e377bd90ccb1
4. The Ethiopian govt has consistently shown that it is committing a genocide on the people of Tigray. From weaponized rape and starvation, massacres, and humantarian aid blockades. Now, the expulsion of @UN officials. When will the world act? @USAmbUN https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/09/30/ethiopia-tigray-united-nations-famine/
5. With Ethiopia kicking out @UN officials, the UNSC should take action. Children are dying, missing essential vaccinations, mothers can’t feed their babies. The siege imposed on Tigray is silently killing hundreds daily. #TigrayCantWait @EstoniaUN @USUN https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/ethiopia-kicks-out-7-united-nations-officials-amid-pressure-deadly-n1280461
6. Ethiopia has blocked aid for months & in a time where Tigray is facing famine, it has expelled key @UN officials. UNSC’s continuous hesitation & ineffective handling of aid blockade has resulted in Tigray famine. #TigrayCantWait @EUatUN @StateDept @MexOnu https://apnews.com/article/africa-united-nations-only-on-ap-famine-kenya-ef9fe79cc0cf35917fd190b6e9bd0f46
7. The expulsion of UN officials is a clear message that Ethiopia will continue to break int’l law knowing it will face no consequences at the hands of UNSC.@UN @StateDept @EU_Commission @USUNSpox must swiftly respond with economic sanctions. #TigrayCantWait https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/ethiopia-kicks-out-7-united-nations-officials-amid-pressure-on-blockade
8. “So people have been eating roots and flowers and plants instead of a normal steady meal,” he said. “The lack of food will mean that people will start to die.” Tigrayans are dying of a man-made famine. @UN Act Now. #TigrayCantWait @ItalyUN_NY @UnKenya https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/ethiopia-crisis-stain-our-conscience-u-n-says-thousands-face-n1280299
9. It’s been 11 months of weaponized rape & starvation amidst the ongoing #TigrayGenocide enacted by the Ethiopian regime. The @UN Security Council must take concrete actions to save lives! #TigrayCantWait @irishmissionun @UKUN_NewYork @USUN @unwomenchief https://www.msn.com/en-sg/news/world/silent-killing-starvation-stalks-ethiopia-s-tigray/ar-AAOJuHD
10. 1.8 mill Tigrayans face famine under a blockade. The latest expulsion of UN workers from Ethiopia should signal to the intl comm that Abiy Ahmed is hellbent on continuing the #TigrayGenocide. End the impunity & act! #TigrayCantWait @paytonknopf @LindaT_G https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/09/30/ethiopia-tigray-united-nations-famine/
11. The Ethiopian regime is impeding the delivery of food aid & medical supplies from entering Tigray. The international community must act now to save the lives of millions impacted by Abiy Ahmed’s engineered starvation! #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @PowerUSAID @JosepBorrellF
12. Although @antonioguterres was ‘shocked’ by the news of Ethiopia’s decision to expel senior UN officials, this obviously aligns with @AbiyAhmedAli’s ongoing genocide + coverup. @UN must recognize the genocidal campaign waged against Tigray! #TigrayCantWait https://news.yahoo.com/ethiopia-expels-seven-senior-un-145926931.html
#TigrayCantWait Pt. 3
1. Amid the man-made famine, the Ethiopian govt has imposed a total siege of Tigray. Millions will be at risk of starvation. Basic services need to be restored immediately. @UN must ACT NOW! #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @NRC_Norway @VietNam_UN @LindaT_G https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/ethiopia-kicks-out-7-united-nations-officials-amid-pressure-on-blockade
2. The idle Int’l community has emboldened the Ethiopian govt to completely cut-off Tigray as 900K+ people starve. The expulsion of @UN officials at this critical time requires immediate action against Ethiopia! #TigrayCantWait @VP @POTUS @USUN @ChrisCoons https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/09/30/ethiopia-tigray-united-nations-famine/
3. “In every district of the more than 20 where one aid group works, residents have starved to death.” Ethiopia is starving Tigray by imposing a blockade. ACT NOW before millions perish. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @EstoniaUN @VietNam_UN @Niger_ONU https://www.npr.org/2021/09/20/1038858345/i-just-cry-dying-of-hunger-in-ethiopias-blockaded-tigray-region
4. It is the duty of the international community to intervene when a genocide is taking place. It is your Responsibility to Protect (R2P). Millions will die if you refuse to act today. #TigrayCantWait #CallItAGenocide @UN_HRC @KenyaMissionUN @Niger_ONU https://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-minority-ethnic-cleansing-sudan-world-news-842741eebf9bf0984946619c0fc15023
5. “Forced starvation is the latest chapter in a conflict where ethnic Tigrayans have been massacred, gang-raped and expelled.” The Int’l community MUST save millions of children from starvation!#TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @JakeSullivan46 @AmbassadorRice https://apnews.com/article/africa-united-nations-only-on-ap-famine-kenya-ef9fe79cc0cf35917fd190b6e9bd0f46
6. “Detention and killing of Tigrayans bears the hallmarks of genocide as defined by international law.” The man-made famine is just one of the many atrocities @AbiyAhmedAli is committing to wipeout Tigrayans! #CallItAGenocide #TigrayCantWait @SecBlinken https://www.cnn.com/2021/09/05/africa/ethiopia-tigray-humera-sudan-bodies-cmd-intl/index.html
7. .@UN called it a “de facto aid blockade” but has barely done anything to avert the famine. When will global leaders step in to relieve human suffering? Children are dying. Ethiopia & Eritrea must be sanctioned. #TigrayCantWait @KenyaMissionUN @USAmbUN pic.twitter.com/XBH5E7Hh2p
8. How much longer will Ethiopia & Eritrea be enabled by the @UN to break international law? Appointed leaders must exercise their responsibility to protect civilians and uphold key values. #CallItAGenocide #TigrayCantWait @UnderSecStateP @UnderSecPD https://www.un.org/en/chronicle/article/responsibility-protect
