Heartbreaking scale of sexual violence in the past few years in Tigray, Ethiopia, with grave health implications. Rapid scaling up of access to health care and support for survivors is critical for their recovery. https://t.co/MLo9uxYhGk
Abiy Ahmed has turned Ethiopia from a pillar of regional stability into a source of constant conflict, humanitarian crisis, and political disintegration across East Africa. His tenure is marked by war—from the devastating conflict in Tigray (2020–2022) to escalating violence in Amhara and Oromia—when political disputes are resolved by force rather than dialogue. Although the Pretoria Agreement aimed to end the war in Tigray, key provisions remain unfulfilled, including the continued presence of foreign and non-federal forces, lack of accountability, and continued civilian suffering. The involvement of Eritrean forces in the war internationalized the conflict, and rising tensions today risk triggering another cross-border confrontation, threatening the fragile stability of the Horn of Africa. At the same time, the politics of divide and rule deepened ethnic and religious tensions and accelerated national disintegration. Repeated patterns of denial and misinformation—especially about the role of external forces in the war—have eroded domestic and international trust. The human toll remains devastating: hundreds of thousands killed, millions displaced, and widespread famine prompted by limited human access. Following an economic downturn, inflation, instability and falling investor confidence exacerbated the crisis. This is no longer reserved within Ethiopia. The effects are spreading across borders, posing a serious threat to regional peace and security. Without genuine commitment to accountability, inclusive governance, and full implementation of peace agreements, the cycle of instability will continue. #UpholdThePretoriaAgreement #BringBackHomeTheTigrayIDPs #Justice4TigrayGenocide @UNGeneva@UN@Refugees@UNHumanRights@HouseGOP@IGADsecretariat@AfricaUnions@SecMarcosR5215@AfricanUnionUN@coe@EU_Commission@USEmbassyAddis@SECMARCOPVT@BBCWorld@CNN@StateDept@addisstandard@ethioforum@BerhanuAsres
#Ethiopia: More than 330 IDPs dead The Commission of #Tigray Genocide (#CITG) cited findings from its August 2025 assessment of 92 IDP centers, including Hitsats. According to the Commission, 325 deaths primarily due to lack of food, medical care, and other basic necessities
Dear @volker_turk@UN_HRC@UNOSAPG
The Ethiopian Prime Minister’s advisor, #DanielKibret, & his inflammatory rhetoric during the Tigray war, drew international condemnation for public remarks during the Tigray war comparing Tigrayans or their leaders to evil & “weeds”. 1/5
2/
@hrw’s observers warned that Kibret’s rhetoric suggesting removal from public memory & historical records contributed to ethnic dehumanization amid a brutal conflict marked by allegations of war crimes & mass atrocities & erased from history language widely seen as hate speech
