Twitter Campaign – Withdrawal of Telecom Bids – April 30, 2021

#TigrayGenocide – 1

1. To @Safaricom_Care @MyGovKe it is critical that you withdraw your bid from @ethiotelecom. There is a genocidal war taking place in Ethiopia & any profits have the potential to go towards war efforts. Do you support war & the #TigrayGenocide? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ethiopia-tigray-news-executions-rape-war-atrocities-genocide/

2. Are you aware that @AbiyAhmedAli is trying to fund his war on Tigray with your help? We ask that @MTNGroup does their due diligence & cancel bids for @ethiotelecom. #TigrayGenocide@wimMTNUG @StephenBlewett @jschultebockum @DioumSerigne1 @PaulNormanMTNhttps://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

3. Kenya, you’re well aware of how badly the people of Tigray are suffering at the hands of @AbiyAhmedAli & Isaias Afwerki. We ask that @Safaricom_Care withdraw bids for @ethiotelecom. Do NOT fund the #TigrayGenocide! @MyGovKe @SpokespersonGoKhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/ethiopia-tigray-news-executions-rape-war-atrocities-genocide

4. South Africa, it’s imperative @Vodacom withdraw bids for @ethiotelecom. @AbiyAhmedAli is trying to fund his war on Tigray with your help. Do you support genocidal wars targeting the innocent? #TigrayGenocide @GovernmentZA @GEPF_SA https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/01/africa/ethiopia-mfa-us-tigray-troops-intl/index.html

5. .@WorldBank & @DFCgov should not support the privatization of @ethiotelecom. We ask for the withdraw of any bids. How can we trust @AbiyAhmedAli’s next move isn’t dishonest when he keeps lying? #TigrayGenocide@GovernmentZA @PaulNormanMTNhttps://foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/27/in-tigray-sexual-violence-has-become-a-weapon-of-war/

6. Although @AbiyAhmedAli has tried to keep the #TigrayGenocide a secret, he can’t hide that he’s trying to fund it. We ask that @DioumSerigne1 @KamalSantina withdraw any bids from @ethiotelecom. Do not fund #TigrayGenocide. @GovernmentZA @GEPF_SA https://apnews.com/article/africa-ethiopia-race-and-ethnicity-health-coronavirus-5f22a5aea128cbd659fbf4f810aac973

7. The Ethiopian govt. is engaged in massacring civilians, blocking aid, destroying hospitals & religious sites. @AbiyAhmedAli should be sanctioned not rewarded on #TigrayGenocide @Safaricom_Care withdraw bids. @MyGovKe @SpokespersonGoK @ForeignOfficeKEhttps://news.yahoo.com/eritrean-troops-block-loot-food-122141403.html

8. #RalphMupita & leaders of @MTNGroup must do right & withdraw bids for @ethiotelecom. Do you support genocidal wars against innocent people? The world is watching. #TigrayGenocide @wimMTNUG @StephenBlewett @PaulNormanMTN @jschultebockum @KamalSantinahttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/ethiopia-tigray-news-executions-rape-war-atrocities-genocide

9. Ethiopian leaders have repeatedly shown no accountability. Almost 6 months after declaring victory over #WarOnTigray & civilians are continuing to be victims of ethnic cleansing. #TigrayGenocide @PaulNormanMTN @jschultebockum @DioumSerigne1 @KamalSantina https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/27/in-tigray-sexual-violence-has-become-a-weapon-of-war/

10. Ethiopia allowed Eritrea, a country with the worst human rights record to commit atrocities on the people of Tigray. This is the level of integrity Ethiopia will apply on money funded by @WorldBank. #TigrayGenocide @PaulNormanMTN @DioumSerigne1https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

#TigrayGenocide – 2

1. An investigation by @BBC Africa Eye has uncovered evidence that a massacre in Tigray was carried out by members of the Ethiopian military. We ask that @Safaricom_Care @Vodacom @MTNGroup halt bidding for @ethiotelecom until #TigrayGenocide stops! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-56603022

2. Ethiopian troops, Amhara militias & Eritrean forces are committing weaponized rape against women & girls in Tigray. @WorldBank @MyGovKe should halt disbursement of funds until a @UN-mandated investigation of war crimes & #TigrayGenocide is over. @DFCgov https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/27/in-tigray-sexual-violence-has-become-a-weapon-of-war/

3. .@ethiotelecom has been weaponized against the people of Tigray. Unelected @AbiyAhmedAli uses communication as a tool of war. Cease & desist all deals regarding infrastructure in Ethiopia until the #TigrayGenocide investigations are complete. @Vodacom https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/eu-calls-on-ethiopia-to-lift-tigray-communications-blackout-as-sudan-refugee-camps-get-overcrowded/vi-BB1bCXFx

4. Any deal with unelected @AbiyAhmedAli is contributing to #TigrayGenocide. Do not enable weaponized starvation and weaponized rape by the Ethiopian government. Halt any bids on @ethiotelecom @Vodacom @MTNGroup @jschultebockum #TigrayGenocidehttps://foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/27/in-tigray-sexual-violence-has-become-a-weapon-of-war/

5. .@WorldBank & @DFCgov should not support the privatization of @ethiotelecom. We ask for the withdraw of any bids. How can we trust @AbiyAhmedAli’s next move isn’t dishonest when he keeps lying? #TigrayGenocide@GovernmentZA @PaulNormanMTN https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/04/27/in-tigray-sexual-violence-has-become-a-weapon-of-war/

6. The Ethiopian govt. is engaged in massacring civilians, blocking aid, destroying hospitals & religious sites. @AbiyAhmedAli should be sanctioned not rewarded on #TigrayGenocide @Safaricom_Care withdraw bids for @ethiotelecom. @MyGovKe @SpokespersonGoK @ForeignOfficeKE @DFCgov

7. “He was serving his country honestly,” the man said. “The situation is not good, not only for me but for all the Tigrayan people.” What are you choosing to support? #TigrayGenocide @GovernmentZA @GEPF_SA @DioumSerigne1 @KamalSantinahttps://apnews.com/article/africa-ethiopia-race-and-ethnicity-health-coronavirus-5f22a5aea128cbd659fbf4f810aac97

8. The world is dismayed by the genocidal war and ethnic cleansing in Ethiopia’s Tigray. @GovernmentZA @GEPF_SA are investing in Ethio Telecom & @AbiyAhmedAli accused of war crimes. This investment is wrong and morally reprehensible. #TigrayGenocide https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2021/03/16/the-genocidal-war-in-tigray/
