Irob + Kunama

1. Irob was the first location to be attacked & fall under Eritrean forces in Ethiopia. “The north is dying,” said a Irob man. “I strongly believe there is a campaign to target the people.” #IrobMassacre #UNSCActNow #TigrayGenocide @UN @cnalive @Pontifex https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

2. The Irob district is little known & the situation there is not getting the attention it deserves from Int’l leaders. @AbiyAhmedAli is liable for all the crimes he is endorsing in northern Ethiopia. @LindaT_G @AmbMKimani #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide https://www.irobadvocacy.org/activities/pressrelease-Irob-District-In-Tigray-Needs-Urgent-Aid#.YD8JR_HT27t.twitter

3. “If you don’t bring your father, your brothers; you don’t get the aid, you’ll starve.” Irob is a severely affected area due to heavy Eritrean army presence. Hundreds have been executed & many women raped. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @irishmissionun https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

4. Irob Advocacy Association (IAA) has credible information that the Irob people are displaced & starving to death in the mountains; occupied by the Eritrean forces. #UNSCActNow & and remove Eritrean forces. @KenyaMissionUN #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide https://www.irobadvocacy.org/activities/pressrelease-Irob-District-In-Tigray-Needs-Urgent-Aid#.X-E_8FFY6FA.twitter

5. “It is to be recalled that Eritrean forces abducted over 97 Irob civilians during Ethio-Eritrean war” & still their whereabouts are unknown. Many #Irob have been killed by Eritrean troops. This is a great loss for the tribe. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide https://www.irobadvocacy.org/activities/pressrelease-Irob-District-In-Tigray-Needs-Urgent-Aid#.X-E_8FFY6FA.twitter

6. “This is the least-documented war. The world will apologize to the people of Tigray, but it will be too late.” When will @UN TRULY advocate for the people of Tigray & Irob? These ethnic groups are being targeted. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @NorwayUN https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

8. Ethiopian govt. is unfairly withholding food aid from starving families suspected of links to Tigray forces. The Irob are deeply affected & silently feeling the effects of #TigrayGenocide. When will the @UN intervene? @Niger_ONU @PmTunisia #IrobMassacre https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

10. The Kunama have faced war crimes by invading Eritrean troops. Their livelihood at risk as they are being systematically starved. Their crops & farming equipment have been intentionally destroyed. @UN you have a Responsibility to Protect.  #UNSCActNow @USAmbUN @USAmbUN @MexOnu

11. The Kunama have been terrorized by Eritrean troops. This is a minority group that must be protected. We are in the 5th month of the #TigrayGenocide & the @UN continues to fail this group. Why? #KunamaStarvation @AmbMKimani @UNReliefChief @mbachelet https://minorityrights.org/minorities/kunama-and-nara/

12. The Kunama depend on farming for their livelihood. The intentional looting & destruction of livestock, burning of villages & farming equipment has left them without food for 5 months. They are facing mass starvation. #UNSCActNow #TigrayGenocide @UNReliefChief @VietNam_UN

13. The Kunama people were devastated by Ethio-Eritrean border war. In just 20 years , they’re facing more war crimes by Eritrean troops-their ethnic survival depends on immediate withdrawal of Eritrean forces. #KunamaStarvation #UNSCActNow @KenyaMissionUN https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/fr/node/206933

14. The people of Kunama in Tigray, are at extreme risk of extinction. This minority community is facing weaponized starvation, as villages & farming equipment are burned down & cattle are looted by invading troops. Please protect them. #UNSCActNow @UNReliefChief @USAmbUN

15. Five months into the war & we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg in stories about the #TigrayGenocide. The more remote communities, such as Irob & Kunama, are the most vulnerable & need protection, before they become extinct. #UNSCActNow @USUN @Ilhan @SVG_UN @Niger_ONU

dw: Ethiopia’s Tigray: UN scraps formal call for peace

Posted on by Sami Mulaw

The United Nations Security Council on Friday scrapped plans to issue a statement calling for an end to violence in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, according to reports from three UN diplomats.

Ireland, which drafted the statement, decided not to push for approval after the council failed to reach a consensus due to objections by China, Russia and India.

Posted on by Sami Mulaw

The United Nations on Thursday alleged possible crimes against humanity in Ethiopia’s Tigray region including by Eritrean troops, as it urged a withdrawal by the neighbouring country, which denies involvement.

The UN also warned of potentially catastrophic hunger as it pleaded for urgent humanitarian access, but divisions at the UN Security Council stopped the international community from showing a united front.

3. “If you don’t bring your father, your brothers; you don’t get the aid, you’ll starve.” Irob is a severely affected area due to heavy Eritrean army presence. Hundreds have been executed & many women raped. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @irishmissionun https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

4. Irob Advocacy Association (IAA) has credible information that the Irob people are displaced & starving to death in the mountains; occupied by the Eritrean forces. #UNSCActNow & and remove Eritrean forces. @KenyaMissionUN #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide https://www.irobadvocacy.org/activities/pressrelease-Irob-District-In-Tigray-Needs-Urgent-Aid#.X-E_8FFY6FA.twitter

5. “It is to be recalled that Eritrean forces abducted over 97 Irob civilians during Ethio-Eritrean war” & still their whereabouts are unknown. Many #Irob have been killed by Eritrean troops. This is a great loss for the tribe. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide https://www.irobadvocacy.org/activities/pressrelease-Irob-District-In-Tigray-Needs-Urgent-Aid#.X-E_8FFY6FA.twitter

6. “This is the least-documented war. The world will apologize to the people of Tigray, but it will be too late.” When will @UN TRULY advocate for the people of Tigray & Irob? These ethnic groups are being targeted. #IrobMassacre #TigrayGenocide @NorwayUN https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

7. The Irob tribe is systematically being targeted, killed, & starved in the highlands of Ethiopia. When will @UN #SecurityCouncil be a voice for the voiceless dying in the shadows? #UNSCActNow & end the #IrobMassacre & #TigrayGenocide @irishmissionun @hrw https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

8. Ethiopian govt. is unfairly withholding food aid from starving families suspected of links to Tigray forces. The Irob are deeply affected & silently feeling the effects of #TigrayGenocide. When will the @UN intervene? @Niger_ONU @PmTunisia #IrobMassacre https://apnews.com/article/world-news-eritrea-ethiopia-kenya-e84f072e2f08e542652b8f4dac09a3f8

#UNSCActNow – 4

1. Human rights atrocities & war crimes are regularly being committed by the Ethiopian govt. In addition, the withholding of crucial humanitarian aid will lead to a devastating famine in the land. #UNSCActNow #TigrayGenocide@Chinamission2un @IndiaUNNewYork https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/20/un-says-malnutrition-very-critical-in-ethiopias-tigray

2. Ethiopian + Eritrean forces committed multiple war crimes in Tigray. Indiscriminate shellings, killing, rape, the use of child soldiers, looting property, and the blocking ofhumanitarian aid are grave breaches of the of #GenevaConvention #TigrayGenocide #UNSCActNow @NorwayUN

3. The horrific accounts of the #AxumMassacre & ongoing #WarOnTigray should hold both tyrants @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias Afewerki accountable in @IntlCrimCourt. #UNSCActNow #TigrayGenocide @JoeBiden @VP @IndiaUNNewYork @NorwayUN @USUN @IlhanMN @CoryBooker https://cutt.ly/ZlCZgFX

4. The intentional malicious attacks against hospitals, schools, churches, cultural heritage sites; along with the intentional killings, rape & torture of innocent civilians are all punishable war crimes. Let @AbiyAhmedAli have his day in court for the #TigrayGenocide! @AmbMKimani

5. Operation to restore “law & order” in Tigray was all a sham. It has been a genocidal war of oppression, psychological warfare, & widespread violence on the Tigray people. @AbiyAhmedAli must face @IntlCrimCourt. @SecBlinken #TigrayGenocide #UNSCActNow https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56229256

6. From Nobel Prize winner to grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions. Unelected @AbiyAhmedAli must face @IntlCrimCourt. He’s a terrorist in his own country. This isn’t democracy! #UNSCActNow #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @LindaT_G @jakejsullivan @AmbMKimanihttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-55832711

7. It’s time @AbiyAhmedAli is held liable for endorsing ethnic profiling, genocidal campaigns, weaponized rape, & starving a population. And it’s time @SecBlinken call Abiy out for what he truly is. He is a war criminal & a threat to democracy.@AmbMKimani @LindaT_G @PmTunisia @hrw

8. The Eritrean & Ethiopian govt. has repeatedly denied the involvement of Eritrean troops in Tigray, yet there are several reliable reports of looting, SGBV & massacres. #UNSCActNow & take ALL perpetrators to @IntlCrimCourt! #TigrayGenocide @LindaT_G @UKUN_NewYork @franceonu

9. A Mai Kadra survivor pleads to @AJENews ‘Tell the world we are dying!’ But one question remains. When will the @UN #SecurityCouncil actually listen & ACT? #TigrayGenocide #UNSCActNow @IntlCrimCourt @KenyaMissionUN @EstoniaUN @Ilhan @AOC @RepKarenBass @VP https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/1/we-are-dying-tigrayans-speak-of-abuse-by-eritrean-troops

10. ‘They tried to rape me & I was thrown to the ground. I was bleeding for hours. Then, I had my arm amputated.’ Sadly, #MonalizaAbraha is one of many reports of rape in war. #UNSCActNow #TigrayGenocide @VP @irishmissionun @ambassadorRice @YohannesAbraham https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/1/we-are-dying-tigrayans-speak-of-abuse-by-eritrean-troops

11. #TigrayGenocide ‘soaring death tolls’ need to be ringing alarm bells among Intl. leaders. The same ???????? govt waging war in Tigray will not be the one to put an end to this horror. Intl. leaders have a moral obligation to intervene NOW. @ABlinken #UNSCActNowhttps://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/02/ethiopia-eritrean-troops-massacre-of-hundreds-of-axum-civilians-may-amount-to-crime-against-humanity/

12. The indisputable proof of war crimes committed by ???????? & ???????? military forces include #SGBV, looting and destruction of civilian infrastructure and mass killings. Tigray will not be helped by the same ???????? govt. attacking them. Intl. leaders MUST intervene #TigrayGenocide #UNSCActNow

13. @amnesty report on Axum massacre recount the graphic details of the horrific day. There are many stories just like this coming out of Tigray, widespread mass killings and sexual violence is happening at an unfathomable rate https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2021/02/ethiopia-eritrean-troops-massacre-of-hundreds-of-axum-civilians-may-amount-to-crime-against-humanity/ #TigrayGenocide #UNSCActNow
