1. The @WorldBank should not even consider privatization of @ethiotelecom. Bids that could bring revenue into the hands of a war criminal such as @AbiyAhmedAli should be examined closely. His values are not rooted into the WB mission. @DavidMalpassWBG@KGeorgieva #TigrayGenocide

2. Ethiopia is guilty of ethnic cleansing & has one of the current worst humanitarian crisis in the world. @WorldBank, shame on your role in privatization of @ethiotelecom knowing that it will put money into the hands of war criminals like @AbiyAhmedAli. https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

3. Investing in @ethiotelecom while @AbiyAhmedAli is orchestrating a genocidal war will cause more instability in the Horn of Africa.

4. @WorldBank must stay away from the privatization of @ethiotelecom. This is a grave mistake with consequences. Profits gained have the potential to fund a war. As leaders, are you choosing to play a role in the #TigrayGenocide?@KGeorgieva @SecYellen https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

5. Privatizing @ethiotelecom has the potential to increase investment capital by attracting foreign investment & raising revenue for the government. This revenue could indirectly fund the #TigrayGenocide. @WorldBank, do you due diligence. @carmenmreinhart https://www.theafricareport.com/39864/ethiopia-the-case-for-partial-privatization-of-ethio-telecom/

6. The @WorldBank has plans to invest $200 million in the Ethiopia’s digital economy. The global community is very concerned that profits from privatizations will indirectly support the #TigrayGenocide. Your attention to this matter is needed. @SecYellen https://blogs.worldbank.org/africacan/why-ethiopia-needs-open-its-telecom-market

7. @WorldBank & @DFCgov must refrain from participating in the privatization of @ethiotelecom. It is negligent to approve this. Any profit gained has a massive potential to fund #TigrayGenocide. Please, do better.@SPimentaIFC @KGeorgieva @carmenmreinhart https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/19/africa/ethiopia-tigray-rape-investigation-cmd-intl/index.html

8. 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://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/01/world/africa/ethiopia-tigray-sexual-assault.html

1. @WorldBank may intend to end poverty, but where is the line drawn? To fund a Ethiopian govt. sponsored war that’s creating a man-made famine is problematic. Financial leaders also play a role in #TigrayGenocide. @SecYellen @DavidMalpassWBG @KFinkelstonhttps://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-03-19/ethiopia-tigray-war-massacre-bora

Do you support war & the #TigrayGenocide? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ethiopia-tigray-news-executions-rape-war-atrocities-genocide/

5. 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 @AxianGroup @MTNGroup @LiquidInTech @DouglasMboweni @benliquidkenya@DFCgov

6. .@WorldBank & @DFCgov should not support the privatization of @ethiotelecom. We ask for the withdraw of any bids.

8. Any entity that turns a blind eye to the human rights violations rampant in Tigray, in order to benefit from the turmoil caused by unelected @AbiyAhmedAli’s #TigrayGenocide is complicit & will be held accountable. That includes you @NicRudnick @eboggsdavidsen @AlgeneSajery46

1. .@WorldBank should support a govt. that is invested in the safety & security of ALL its citizens; one that is accountable & transparent. Ethiopia does NOT have that w/ @AbiyAhmedAli. What it has is a genocidal govt. Don’t fund #TigrayGenocide @SecYellen https://www.voanews.com/ethiopia-tigray/un-hunger-rape-rising-ethiopias-tigray

2. No woman should should support a government & system that condones rape. It has been weaponized throughout Tigray these last 5 months of war. Use your power to put a stop to #TigrayGenocide. Vote NO. @KGeorgieva @carmenmreinhart, @ADixon_WB @KFinkelston https://www.dw.com/en/rape-survivors-battle-trauma-in-tigray/av-56830621

3. How many civilians need to be massacred? How many girls & woman raped so the @WorldBank & IMF must stop aligning with the needs of perpetrators of the #TigrayGenocide? @NadiaCalvino @ArturoHerrera_G @MichealMartinTD @CharlesMichel @EUCourtPress @IMFNews https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/01/africa/tigray-mahibere-dego-massacre-video-cmd-intl/index.html

6. Girls are being raped by soldiers. Is this what @WorldBank stands to exacerbate? Is this what IMF is likely to support financially? Say NO to #TigrayGenocide. Say NO to supporting the sale of @ethiotelecom. @SvonFriedeburg @AlbertZeufack @Diarietou_WB https://blogs.worldbank.org/africacan/why-ethiopia-needs-open-its-telecom-market

Yet, it is funding @AbiyAhmedAli’s war in Tigray that has intentionally destroyed both objectives. @Diop_IFC @USTreasury @vonderleyen #TigrayGenocide https://www.msf.org/health-facilities-targeted-tigray-region-ethiopia

9. Ethiopia is committing war crimes by withholding food to create a famine in Tigray. The @WorldBank should not be complicit with this.

9. .@WorldBank is not upholding its own social safeguard policies, protection of human rights as provided in their Environmental & Social Mgmt. Framework, but gearing up to support the privatization of @ethiotelecom. No credibility! @Lagarde @Paschald @KGeorgieva #TigrayGenocide

10. .@WorldBank should not support the privatization of @ethiotelecom; a project to be implemented in an environment where massacres, gang rapes, & other human rights violations are taking place. @gwsokamoto @wallyadeyemo @EU_Justice #TigrayGenocide https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-sudan-ethiopia-only-on-ap-49166602bcb2a0a112402e202a034f38

1. .@WorldBank froze funds to Myanmar immediately after a coup. The bank is still supporting a govt conducting ethic cleansing and massacres. STOP @ethiotelecom privatization. #TigrayGenocide@antoniocostapm @KGeorgieva @KlaasKnot @nsitharaman @EUCouncil https://tinyurl.com/y3hcthbe

2. .@WorldBank trashing it’s own standards by not conducting govt finance review or a public consultation before @ethiotelecom privatization.

5. On April 21, @WorldBank’s Board of Directors will vote on whether to fund Ethiopia as the country wages a war on Tigray, a minority indigenous population. Abiy wants to revenue for weapons through the sale of @ethiotelecom. Vote ‘NO’! #TigrayGenocide @ShaolinyangWBG @kanshula

6. Voting for the sale of @ethiotelecom is a vote for funding the #TigrayGenocide. @WorldBank should not aid the genocide of the minority ethnic Tigrayan population, as Ethiopia weaponizes food. @AntonellaBassa3 @jorgedajani @CF_Jaramillo @DFCgov @kanshula https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2021-04-15/un-tigrays-humanitarian-crisis-worsens-no-eritrean-exit

7. We all should ask why the @WorldBank knowingly funds the #TigrayGenocide by facilitating the sale of @ethiotelecom? What is in it for WB? Who is condoning this ethnic cleansing? How does the U.S. which controls the Bank benefit from this? @SecBlinken @SenBooker @RepGregoryMeeks

8. Now is not the time for @WorldBank to sell @ethiotelecom as it will fund the #TigrayGenocide. Now is time to hold the leadership in Ethiopia accountable for all war crimes & crimes against humanity. @DavidMalpassWBG @SecYellen @SenatorRisch @IMF_atUN https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/26/africa/ethiopia-tigray-dengelat-massacre-intl/index.html

9. By helping Abiy sell @ethiotelecom in the midst of his genocidal war against the indigenous people of Tigray, @WorldBank’s Board is setting up to fund Abiy’s genocide. This is an unforgivable, historical mistake. Say ‘NO’ to #TigrayGenocide @Mari_Pangestu @SandieOkoro @Diop_IFC

10. Coup in Myanmar & @WorldBank halts all projects within a month. Genocide in Ethiopia & WB votes to fund the 5 month long #TigrayGenocide, through sale of @ethiotelecom. What’s wrong with this picture? What’s wrong with the @WorldBank? @DavidMalpassWBG https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-sudan-ethiopia-only-on-ap-49166602bcb2a0a112402e202a034f38
