Tigray Women Still Without Post-Rape Care or Justice
@atiRyashaK: “Many of the women in #Tigray are living with all of this (SGBV), and without any post-rape care, or any justice. Currently, there is still (an) ongoing conflict related sexual violence.” 1

ICRC Director Appeals for More Aid to Tigray
@SarahEpprecht: "I am in #Tigray that has been very heavily affected by conflict. The situation is absolutely heartbreaking. It’s also quite amazing to see how determined the people here are to get back on their feet and to survive."
'#Tigray Famine Worse than Deadly Famine of the 80s'
Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow, founder and CEO of @MarysMeals: "I've heard quite a number of older people that can remember the infamous famine of the 1980s saying that they believe this one has the potential to be even worse."
I am pleased that my article denouncing the crisis in Tigray is being shared so much. I wonder if it's just bots doing this though, because I'm receiving dozens of notifications from X every minute that have lasted for over an hour 😳 https://t.co/ZlJpzUvB64
Avvenire, a leading Italian daily newspaper reported horrific situations the people of #Irob are facing. The irony though, last week, the #Italian gov’t signed cooperation agreement with the same #Eritrean regime committing atrocities in IROB. 👇🏿

In #Tigray, the Catholic & Ethnic Minority of #Irob Risks Disappearing under the Violent Occupation of Eritrean Forces

“We are victims of #ethniccleansing – denounces Rita Kahsay, Executive director @IrobAnina which defends the rights of a people that not even the #Italian colonial troops managed to subdue in the last century – furthermore no one has ever asked our opinion on the treaty of Algiers which violates the @UN conventions on the rights of indigenous peoples. Our homes have been ransacked, those who oppose disappear and nothing is known about them anymore. #Eritrean officials gather the inhabitants in the cities and villages and tell them that either they agree to change their nationality by collecting the new documents or they must leave. But this is our land.”
@Avvenire_Nei:
"A Catholic [& ethnic] minority [of #Irob] in #Tigray, exhausted by three and a half years of brutal and violent occupation by the #Eritrean army, risks extinction. In the autonomous region of northern Ethiopia - after two years of civil war which caused at least 600 thousand deaths, millions of displaced people and a famine - the tragedy of the Irob community is taking place."

The #TigrayGenocide includes #ecocide, alarmingly causing deforestation, soil degradation & pollution & threatening ecosystems, lives➕livelihoods. Without preventing more damage & applying land restoration practices, there's a risk of the region becoming inhabitable #EarthDay🧵
Fractured Reality After the Pretoria Peace Agreement
The Pretoria Agreement, signed on Nov 2022, had three key pillars: unrestricted humanitarian access to #Tigray, the restoration of constitutional order, and the protection of fundamental human rights. 1/https://t.co/8k8zIZOqU9
Absolutely crucial that the international community, including the IMF and Ethiopian Federal Government, acknowledges the vital efforts of the Commission of Inquiry in pursuing justice and accountability for the #TigrayGenocide. Every Tigrayan voice & story deserves recognition.
'Amhara Occupation of Tigray Behind Recent Clashes'
"The clashes that are happening now, particularly in Southern #Tigray, is because of the presence of Amhara forces that have established some kind of administrative structure in the areas they have occupied for the past 2-yrs."
Has EU Abandoned Support for #Tigray Peace Deal?
Acc to the state-run @PressEthio, EU Ambassador to Ethiopia, @RolandKobia, has reportedly said that EU's budget support to the country “would be released when #Ethiopia has an agreement with the IMF.” 1/
