The war has already started. The international community's willingness to acknowledge it has not.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Months of unresolved tensions between Abiy Ahmed’s government and rebel forces have quietly given way to what is in effect an undeclared blitz. Tigray is now a grey zone https://t.co/LH5VVB3eIR

#AS_Editorial: No more cannon fodder!

There is something profoundly wrong when a government or political authority, unable to persuade its citizens to fight, decides instead to drag them into war.

From coercive militia recruitment, arbitrary detention, and extortion in Oromia, Amhara, and parts of southern Ethiopia to recent forced conscription campaigns in Tigray, a disturbing pattern is emerging: when political conflicts remain unresolved, ordinary citizens are increasingly being forced to pay for the failures of those who wield power.

The stories are strikingly similar: young people detained while traveling or working; farmers pressured into militia training; families forced to pay enormous sums for the release of detained relatives; quotas imposed on local authorities; and livelihoods disrupted as young men disappear into military camps.

This is not national renewal. It is national decadence.

On the forced conscription of youth for war in Tigray and Ethiopia;

“No political authority or armed group should compel young people to war”

[Dennis Wadley @denniswadley]

Tigray is still in danger!

The Independent reports that hospitals and clinics are still being attacked, & Tigray’s Health Bureau warned that the health system could collapse.

People are still displaced & hungry

In a new article via @TC_Africa, I call for a meaningful intervention to avoid another round of human rights and humanitarian catastrophe in #Tigray and broader #Ethiopia.

An Ethiopian government drone strike hit a school in Tigray, destroying a World Bank-supported ICT center serving children. Education in Tigray has been targeted for years. The World Bank and international community must halt non-humanitarian funding to Ethiopia until these attacks end.

Abiy’s war on Tigray has nothing to do with a political movement or the corrupt leaders in Mekelle. In fact, he loves them and wants them to stay in power.
His war is against the people, against the future of Tigray.

[Omna Tigray @OmnaTigray]

The war on Tigray was supposed to have ended. It has not.

Civilians in Tigray are once again facing aerial attacks after years of the Pretoria Agreement being weaponized and a war of attrition against the region.

On August 20, drones sent by the Ethiopian National Defense Forces struck two areas of Mekelle. At least 13 casualties were received at Ayder Hospital, including women and children

[Maédot ማዕዶት 🇪🇹✡️🇪🇺 unapologetically Ethiopian! @MaedotmEthiopia]

🚨 @AbiyAhmedAli’s government fears even one unarmed citizen standing alone with a sign. That says far more about the insecurity of those in power than it does about the protester.

Freedom of expression is not a privilege granted only to those who support Abiy Ahmed’s government. It is a fundamental HUMAN RIGHT.

Ethiopia: It's reported that this man was detained in Addis Ababa after peacefully staging a solo protest calling for PM Abiy to step down and be held accountable, during a period when demonstrations were banned by the regime

An Addis Ababa resident has reportedly been arrested after staging a solo peaceful protest against Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in the capital.

Horrified by reports of fresh drone strikes today in southern & northwestern Tigray targeting civilians. Days ago, another devastating strike in Mekelle injured at least 13 people, including children.

[Dade Desta @DadeDesta]

#ALERT: Abiy Ahmed’s regime has again launched drone strikes in Southern Tigray, reportedly targeting civilian areas—the fourth aerial attack in just one week.
How many attacks must civilians endure before the world speaks?
The international community, @UN, @antonioguterres, @AUC_PAPS, @EU_Commission, @StateDept and human rights organizations must urgently condemn these repeated aerial attacks, demand protection for civilians, and press for an immediate end to the violence.
Silence in the face of repeated attacks only deepens the danger to civilians.

[Bashir Hashi Yussuf @BashirHashiysf]

The Ethiopian federal government is bombing civilians in Tigray again. On August 20, 2026, drones struck the city of Mekelle and sent at least thirteen wounded people, women and children among them to Ayder Hospital, a hospital that years of siege have left it without reliable access to the most basic surgical and medical supplies. It was the gravest point in a three-week escalation of drone strikes across the region, and it violates the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement signed in 2022.

Add your name to send a letter to your senators, representatives, and members of Parliament, urging them to act now to stop the strikes and protect civilians in Tigray: https://t.co/E4O1017Pwb

This is Hilina, an 11 years old innocent child.
She should be playing with friends, learning, dreaming about who she’ll become.
Instead, Ethiopian drones struck her in Mekelle today, alongside at least 13 other civilians.

[Omna Tigray @OmnaTigray]

Ethiopia is bombing civilians in Tigray.

On Aug 20, a drone strike on Mekelle sent 13 wounded, women & children among them, to a hospital that has been debilitated by war and a siege & that struggles to provide the needed care.

US & Canada: tell your representatives to act. Add your name ⬇️

[Romha @Romha12]

The people of #Tigray endured war, atrocities, hunger, & displacement, yet years later justice remains absent & the world looks away. As suffering continues, neither @AbiyAhmedAli nor #PFDJ has shown concern, while some TPLF factions serve those who committed Genocide in #Tigray.
