Weaponized starvation

1. CNN investigation revealed that Eritrean troops were coordinating with Ethiopian forces to cut off critical aid routes in Tigray which is now confirmed by the @UN .#StopStarvingTigray #TigrayGenocide @BarackObama@CoryBooker @RaoufMazou @RepJeffrieshttps://www.cnn.com/2021/05/13/africa/ethiopia-tigray-un-confirms-military-aid-blockade-intl/index.html

2. In accordance with international humanitarian law, Ethiopian authorities must allow full humanitarian access to Tigray. Food aid is being blocked & @UN must pressure @AbiyAhmedAli to #StopStarvingTigray. #UNSCActNow @NorwayUN @USUN @LindaT_G @POTUShttps://www.amnesty.org/en/get-involved/take-action/demand-full-humanitarian-access-into-tigray/

3. There are several accounts of soldiers intentionally destroying food sources & killing livestock. “One eyewitness described an act of petty deprivation: an Eritrean soldier crushed baby chicks under his foot.” #StopStarvingTigray @HouseForeign @UNhttps://sites.tufts.edu/wpf/files/2021/04/Starving-Tigray-report-final.pdf

4. “Efforts to prevent the entry of seeds & stopping farming have no other message than perhaps, ‘Let the people of Tigray perish with starvation.“ We must stop weaponized starvation! #StopStarvingTigray@UNGeneva @UNOSAPG @SAdamsR2P @SamanthaJPower @hrwhttps://news.yahoo.com/anti-farming-campaign-underway-tigray-113539985.html

5. Latebrahan was being treated for malnourishment at an Axum hospital. Aid was being blocked near her home so her father had to travel a long, dangerous and costly trip to get help. Eritrean troops must leave Tigray! #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @SecYellenhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/05/12/africa/tigray-axum-aid-blockade-cmd-intl/index.html

9. Eritrean troops are operating with total impunity; killing, raping & blocking humanitarian aid. @AbiyAhmedAli promised these troops would leave Tigray, but still they remain. Hold him accountable.#TigrayCantWait @SecBlinken @UNReliefChief @SecYellenhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/tigray-eritrean-troops-disguised-as-ethiopian-military-are-blocking-critical-aid/ar-BB1gD7e9

11. .@UN, when will you ACT “concerned?” It is well over 6 months since a war was waged on Tigray, & the situation continues to worsen. It is your Responsibility to Protect. #TigrayCantWait @SecBlinken @USAmbUN @antonioguterres @JosepBorrellF @GCR2P @hrw https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/tigray-eritrean-troops-disguised-as-ethiopian-military-are-blocking-critical-aid/ar-BB1gD7e9

 Man-made Famine

1. The looming manufactured famine in Tigray has the potential to spiral into the same awful famine of the 1980s when over a million died. Will you be a voice for the voiceless? #TigrayGenocide #StopStarvingTigray @LionelRichie @JanetJackson @rihannahttps://imgur.com/a/nG4G8my

2. History is repeating in Tigray. Over 5 million are being starved because food & other life saving aid is intentionally being blocked. When will you speak out on the consequences of the #TigrayGenocide & weaponized starvation? @MichelleObama @BarackObamahttps://imgur.com/e5GlhdV

3. Millions are being systematically starved by @AbiyAhmedAli in his genocidal war against Tigray. We need your help to end this misery before it turns into a repeat of the 1980s famine. #TigrayGenocide@UNReliefChief @SAdamsR2P @wallacemick @SamanthaJPower https://imgur.com/0qeyLY3

4. The famine of the 1980’s was started by the Ethiopian Govt as a way to starve the people of Tigray into submission. History repeats. War crimes repeat. Why is the world silent about #TigrayGenocide? #StopStarvingTigray @SenSchumer @RepKarenBass @Ilhanhttps://imgur.com/a/QB7Rhi2

5. The war crime tactics of @AbiyAhmedAli are no different than the Mengistu-led military dictatorship that started the 1983–85 famine. Why are you allowing history to repeat? #StopStarvingTigray @irishmissionun @NorwayUN @franceonu @eu_echo @GCR2P @unhcr_ch https://imgur.com/a/hYaMeFe

6. Will you be a voice for those silently suffering from hunger? @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias Afwerki are intentionally starving the people of Tigray. The same crime left over 1.2 million dead in Ethiopia in the ‘80s. #TigrayGenocide @IssaRae @YvonneOrji https://imgur.com/a/0XtDaXS

7. There is an ethnic cleansing occupation in Tigray which is spiraling into another manufactured famine like that of the 1980s. Children are intentionally being starved, girls raped, & boys massacred. #TigrayGenocide@johnlegend @The_Real_IMAN @Malala https://imgur.com/Rkozwwu

8. Tigray is being intentionally starved by the government of Ethiopia in 2021, just like it was in the 1980s. History repeats. Will you please use your voice to help stop this merciless war crime on humanity?#TigrayGenocide @Alyssa_Milano @jessicaalbahttps://imgur.com/BlMenpX

9. Families should never have to bury their children because of weaponized starvation tactics. We cannot let history repeat. Please do everything in your power to stop this. #TigrayGenocide #StopStarvingTigray@USAmbUN @FilippoGrandi @Ilhan @AOC @VP @hrw https://imgur.com/VMpuZSP

10. The Ethiopian Govt’s unwillingness to deal with the ’80s famine provoked Int’l. condemnation. So why are world leaders allowing it to happen again? How many children must die for you to act? #TigrayGenocide @USAmbUN @mbachelet @antonioguterres @GCR2Phttps://imgur.com/J2cjrl0

11. Weaponized starvation is a common tool of the Ethiopian Govt, used to control & ethnically cleanse. These crimes against humanity took place in different eras, and now in 2021. Why does the world choose to be silent? @Oprah @BarackObama #TigrayGenocide https://imgur.com/uqsUzlB

12. “Do African lives not matter as much as those experiencing conflict in other countries?”A question for world leaders actively not stopping the #TigrayGenocide. Justice delayed is justice denied. #TigrayCantWait @mbachelet @antonioguterres @EU_Commissionhttps://imgur.com/BlMenpX
