1. A doctor and a member of a women rights group in #Tigray stated: “they had registered at least 200 girls (in #Mekelle) under the age of 18… who said they had been raped.” The majority said perpetrators wore #Ethiopia|n army uniforms. #TigrayGenocide @UN https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-55832711

As Ethiopia continues weaponizing aid, the @UNOCHA office has confirmed that if the international community doesn’t intervene, hundreds of thousands of people in #Tigray may die due to man-made famine. @SecBlinken @AmbMKimani @AOC @IlhanMN #TigrayGenocidehttps://www.ethiopia-insight.com/2021/02/18/the-looming-famine-in-tigray/
3. Tigray appreciates U.S. stance & denunciation of #WarOnTigray BUT we urge @POTUS @SecBlinken to join EU & suspend aid to #Ethiopia until unhindered aid corridor is provided. #TigrayGenocide #AllowAccessToTigray @StateDept @LindaT_G @SamanthaJPowerhttps://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-02-18/u-s-leadership-can-end-the-crisis-in-ethiopia
1. When @AbiyAhmedAli received 3 billion in aid from @WorldBank in 2019, he wrote, ”this reaffirms both govt. & donors’ partnership to transition Ethiopia to a prosperous & peaceful nation.” He has done the exact opposite in the last few years. #TigrayGenocide@DavidMalpassWBG
2. It’s likely @AbiyAhmedAli will not be able to pay back @WorldBank at the rate he’s going. Ethiopia’s economy is destined to fail. Please pay attention & stop funding his quest to secure the throne. @kanshula @AxelVT_WB @DavidMalpassWBG#TigrayGenocide https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/02/11/ethiopia-unlawful-shelling-tigray-urban-areas
3. The @WorldBank mission is “to reduce poverty, & improve living standards by promoting sustainable growth & investment in people.” All things @AbiyAhmedAli is working against in Ethiopia. Are you holding him accountable or choosing to fund #TigrayGenocide? @HafezGhanem_WB @hrw
4. When deciding to help with debt relief, leaders like @DavidMalpassWBG should hold other leaders accountable. Does the war waged on Tigray by @AbiyAhmedAli align w/ @WorldBank mission when death & destruction are involved? @AlbertZeufack #TigrayGenocide https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/emaciated-survivors-hint-worse-ethiopias-tigray-75802829
5. Not only should @AbiyAhmedAli be held responsible for war on Tigray & economic mismanagement, but @WorldBank as well. As you continue to provide financial support, you choose to have blood on your hands. @DavidMalpassWBG @kanshula @AxelVT_WB @WBPubs
#TigrayGenocide
6. By 2017, Ethiopia had world’s fastest growing economy. In 2021, Ethiopia is still at war. How can @WorldBank continue to grant relief when @AbiyAhmedAli has set the country back? Stop funding the #TigrayGenocide! @HafezGhanem_WB @AxelVT_WB @ADixon_WB https://www.reuters.com/article/ethiopia-conflict-manufacturing-idUSKBN28J0LG
7. Ethiopia’s war risks leaving manufacturing dreams in tatters & as @WorldBank aids @AbiyAhmedAli, it plays an active role in economic incompetence.

3. Reports have emerged highlighting the deteriorating situation in Tigray. Choosing to provide debt relief to Ethiopia will cause war to continue.
