Tigray Can’t Wait – #TigrayCantWait – July 06, 2021
1. The systematic destruction of major bridges along the Tekeze river by Amhara Forces will have catastrophic effects. Especially on #Shire & #Sheraro which host 600K+ IDPs. Please airdrop aid today! #TigrayGenocide @PowerUSAID @USUN @irishmissionun @UN https://www.wfp.org/news/wfp-resumes-operations-reach-2-million-people-emergency-food-assistance-tigray
2. Alarming reports of ethnic profiling in Addis Ababa amidst rising hate speech against Tigrayans. The collective punishment of Tigrayans has extended outside of Tigray and it must stop now! #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @USEmbassyAddis @hrw @mbachelet https://addisstandard.com/news-analysis-fresh-wave-of-arbitrary-arrest-of-tigrayans-in-addis-abeba-rights-commission-says-it-is-monitoring-the-situation-fed-police-deny-arrests-target-tigrayans/
3. Time is running out for the 900K+ people living in conditions of famine. It’s up to @antonioguterres, @JosepBorrellF, @SecBlinken, & @UN|SC to finally prioritize those starving. Reopen ground and air access to Tigray. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide https://apnews.com/article/only-on-ap-united-nations-ethiopia-africa-9540b17507dcb58dd78b79116e6d9aa7
5. Indiscriminate targeting of Tigrayans in Ethiopia is escalating putting millions of Tigrayans living outside of Tigray in imminent danger. An immediately negotiated ceasefire with elected gov’t of Tigray is crucial. #TigrayGenocide @Europarl_EN @thinkper https://addisstandard.com/news-analysis-fresh-wave-of-arbitrary-arrest-of-tigrayans-in-addis-abeba-rights-commission-says-it-is-monitoring-the-situation-fed-police-deny-arrests-target-tigrayans/
6. Ethiopian Govt continues to blockade Tigray to limit humanitarian aid reach & commit crimes of aggression in the dark. #TigrayCantWait, we need unhindered access & restoration of all basic services. #TigrayGenocide@DicarloRosemary @franceonu @eu_echo https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/07/02/ethiopia-tigray-war/
10. As Ethiopia continues to block ground & air transportation of humanitarian aid, @WFP @USAID @UNOCHA must work closely with the government of Tigray to deliver gravely needed aid. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @EU_Commission @StateDept @UN https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/bridge-key-to-delivering-aid-to-ethiopias-tigray-destroyed/2021/07/01/8a47e6c6-da6d-11eb-8c87-ad6f27918c78_story.html
13. Deporting Tigrayan asylum seekers is a death sentence. @Haavisto stated “when I met the Ethiopian Leadership in February they used this kind of language, that they are going to destroy the Tigrayans.” @johanssonmorgan @Aftonbladet @dagensnyheter #TigrayGenocide
14. Since Ethiopia started the genocidal war on Tigray, Tigrayans living in Addis Ababa have had to deal with waves of mass arrests by authorities simply for their ethnicity. Each wave being worst than the last. #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait @EUCouncil https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ethiopia-conflict-tigrayans-idUSKBN2CO0VF
1. Although Ethiopia requested a ceasefire after a humiliating defeat by TDF, ENDF is still blocking food/aid from entering Tigray in an attempt to continue their man-made famine. Please help. #TigrayGenocide #TigrayCantWait @SpeakerPelosi @USAID @RepSires https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tigray-ethiopia-famine-united-nations-meeting/
2. 8 months into the #TigrayGenocide & still little has been done by the International community to hold Ethiopia accountable for its crimes against humanity. #TigrayCantWait while you decide if this is a genocide. @HouseForeign @WorldBank @UNOSAPG @UN_HRC https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/3800-metric-tons-of-food-blocked-from-reaching-tigray-world-food-bank-says/ar-AALHcV4
3. Hate speech & ethnic profiling of Tigrayans has been on the rise in Ethiopia. Terrifying reports of targeted harassment, mass arrests & Tigrayans getting sent to detention centers in unknown locations. #TigrayCantWait @SenTedCruz @DarrellIssa @YoungKimCA https://apnews.com/article/africa-ethiopia-race-and-ethnicity-health-coronavirus-5f22a5aea128cbd659fbf4f810aac973
4. In any crisis, it’s natural to center victim testimonies. Yet for the case of Tigray, Ethiopia has done the opposite. Civilians need their voices heard, they need food & aid. Not another invasion. @ChrisCoons @timkaine #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/400000-people-ethiopias-tigray-face-famine-now-78640838
5. Eritrean forces and Amhara militias are blocking and restricting access to Tigray, resulting in mass deaths by starvation. Hunger is being weaponized in the ongoing war on Tigray. @HouseForeign @SenateForeign act now #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide https://news.yahoo.com/ethiopia-denies-blocking-aid-tigray-101252058.html
6. Eritrean forces and Amhara militias are blocking and restricting access to Tigray, resulting in mass deaths by starvation. Hunger is being weaponized in the ongoing war on Tigray. @HouseForeign @SenateForeign act now #StopStarvingTigray #TigrayCantWait https://addisstandard.com/breaking-report-received-by-the-un-just-this-morning-reveals-150-people-died-of-hunger-in-tigray-eritrean-forces-amhara-region-authorities-restricting-humanitarian-access
7. “Starvation as a weapon of war is a violation” yet that is exactly what is happening in Tigray by Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Amhara forces. The @UN reports over 400,00 people now face famine. #TigrayCantWait @CoryBooker @RepKarenBass @RepGregoryMeeks https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/400000-people-ethiopias-tigray-face-famine-now-78640838
8. The vast majority of Tigray is completely or partially inaccessible to aid workers due to the denial of access, leaving over 400,00 in famine. Please act now as the situation is getting worse. @BenCardinforMD @SenatorRisch @SenatorLeahy #TigrayCantWait https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/07/1095282
9. “The lives of many of these people (in Tigray) depend on our ability to reach them w/ food, medicine, nutrition supplies & other humanitarian assistance. And we need to reach them now. Not next week. Now.” @KarimKhanQC @SecYellen @hrw #TigrayCantWait https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/07/1095282
10. Asylum seekers fleeing persecution must be protected, not deported. There must be a global effort in place to make sure no Tigrayan is forced back into country like Ethiopia, that is guilty of genocide. #TigrayGenocide @USAmbUN @EU_Commission @eu_eeas https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-57226551
1. We ask that world leaders impose targeted sanctions on officials and implement an arms embargo on Ethiopia. @USAmbUN @HouseForeign @JustinTrudeau @StateDept @ItalyMFA @terri_sarch @francediplo_de @EU_Commission @irishmissionun @Niger_ONU #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide
2. “The destruction & vandalization of vital infrastructure are seriously threatening the provision of humanitarian assistance to people in need.” Please speak up for the voiceless. #TigrayCantWait #TigrayGenocide @ScottMorrisonMP @MarisePayne @SenatorWong https://edition.cnn.com/2021/07/03/africa/tigray-ethiopia-food-shortage-intl/index.html
3. Over 400k in Tigray face famine. These numbers are human lives that deserve respect. As appointed leaders, you have a responsibility to protect. When will this council show real concern? @Chinamission2un @IndiaUNNewYork @RussiaUN #TigrayCantWait https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/400000-people-ethiopias-tigray-face-famine-now-78640838
5. How much longer before world leaders understand #TigrayGenocide is truly a genocide? @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias Afwerki must be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. @antonioguterres @mbachelet @UNOSAPG @czorrinho @EURightsAgency @IntlCrimCourt https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/7/3/over-400000-in-tigray-suffering-famine-now-with-1-8m-on-brink
11. Ethiopia is guilty of genocide, and Tigrayan asylum seekers should never be threatened with deportation back into a country that will kill them. Please protect refugees. #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @UNRefugeeAgency @CarolineLucas @svtnyheter @StateDept https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-57226551
1. The massacres & rapes of Tigrayans in the last 8 months shows us that @AbiyAhmedAli’s claims to target TPLF only, was an orchestrated sham much like his election. #TigrayGenocide is an intentional attack on all Tigrayans. @EUCouncil @UNOSAPG @unicefchief https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/21/a-tigrayan-womb-should-never-give-birth-rape-in-ethiopia-tigray
2. How much longer before African leaders provide real solutions for #TigrayGenocide? The amount of human suffering is unimaginable. Which side of history will you be on? @PaulKagame @AmbMKimani @GovernmentZA @WilliamsRuto @GovUganda @_AfricanUnion https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/7/3/over-400000-in-tigray-suffering-famine-now-with-1-8m-on-brink
9. How can the Ethiopian Govt claim ceasefire when they continue to block humanitarian access & telecommunications in Tigray? This is a major impediment to a permanent cessation of hostilities. #TigrayCantWait @jakejsullivan @YohannesAbraham @FLOTUS @UN https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/07/02/ethiopia-tigray-cease-fire-starvation/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=wp_opinions
11. The ethnic profiling of Tigrayans demonstrates that despite the Ethiopian Govt’s claims to target #TPLF only, their aim is to target ALL Tigrayans. This is not a by-product of war but a deliberate attack. #TigrayGenocide @HolocaustMuseum @wienerlibrary https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/21/a-tigrayan-womb-should-never-give-birth-rape-in-ethiopia-tigray
12. When will the suffocation come to an end? After 8 months of war & an alleged ceasefire, public service such as banking, phone, internet, water, electricity & humanitarian aid are still blocked in Tigray. #TigrayCantWait @RepJeffries @marcorubio @RandPaul https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/7/1/aid-groups-warn-time-running-out-conflict-hit-tigray-ethiopia
5. Deporting Tigrayan asylum seekers is inhumane. There is a genocidal campaign targeting Tigrayans throughout Ethiopia, & It would be a grave mistake to send people, including children, into this nightmare. @SecBlinken @USAmbUN @PrevGenocide @RefugeesIntl https://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-minority-ethnic-cleansing-sudan-world-news-842741eebf9bf0984946619c0fc15023
9. For the past 8 months, we have asked for an end to the communication blackout in Tigray. Access to phone lines, internet & power must be completely restored. Can it be any more obvious that @AbiyAhmedAli is trying to hide the #TigrayGenocide? @SenateForeign @EU_Commission @UN
10. Asylum to Tigrayans must be granted! All of Ethiopia is NOT safe for this ethnic group when the Govt boldly states to @Haavisto, that “they are going to destroy the Tigrayans.” #TigrayGenocide @JosepBorrellF @SwedenUN @EU_Commission @RefugeesCE @hrw https://apnews.com/article/ethiopia-tigray-minority-ethnic-cleansing-sudan-world-news-842741eebf9bf0984946619c0fc15023
11. The attacks on aid workers & journalists in Ethiopia must not be overlooked. World leaders must take a firm stance to condemn such injustices. #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken @LindaT_G @AmbMKimani @Niger_ONU @pressfreedom @FinGovernment @PmTunisia @UKUN_Rome https://www.garoweonline.com/index.php/en/world/africa/endf-mistaken-journalist-for-aid-worker-in-latest-attack-in-tigray
