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