@PatrickHeinisc1 TDF was alone 5 years ago and the table is turned around. We left him by himself with is Arab husband. Don't worry it won't take long to remove him from Addis Ababa. Remember alula Aba nega operation. This time it will be nation wide. We will crush this evil regime in days

A new spate of tragic attacks on health across #Sudan has resulted in the deaths of health workers, assaults on health personnel and patients, looting of hospitals and damage by air strikes to vital health facilities.
On 2 April, a drone strike on White Nile State's Al-Jabalain Teaching Hospital killed 10 health care workers and injured 22 people.
A day earlier in White Nile, another strike on the central medical warehouse in the city of Rabak seriously injured three people, including a pharmacist and two warehouse workers, with unexploded ordnance found inside the facility.
On 2 April, the Family Hospital in East Darfur’s capital, Al-Daein, was looted, with patients and health workers assaulted and expelled from the facility. This hospital was blocks away from the Al-Daein Teaching Hospital that was recently destroyed in a strike, killing at least 70 people, including patients and health workers.
In a similar incident, a hospital in the Blue Nile State city of Al-Kurmuk was looted on 25 March, with equipment destroyed and staff and patients forced from the facility. A health worker was critically injured.
The continued attacks on health care facilities, health workers and patients who depend on them are unacceptable. This worrying pattern reveals a level of disregard for human life that no responsible actor can tolerate.
Health is #NotATarget.

Subject: Urgent Appeal: The Dire Situation Facing the People of Tigray
Dear @AfricaUnions@UN@IGADsecretariat@EUCouncil@WhiteHouse@HumanRightsCtte@HouseGOP@StateDept
I am writing to bring to your attention the critical and distressing situation currently facing the people of Tigray.
We stand at a pivotal moment in our history, where the survival of the Tigrayan people as a united and thriving community hangs in the balance. Despite the immense suffering and loss endured over recent years, the Ethiopian government shows no remorse. Instead, it is relentlessly preparing for another brutal round of conflict.
This new phase of violence is being preceded by a calculated strategy of socio-economic weakening aimed at shattering our unity and undermining our capacity to defend ourselves. The government’s actions—blocking essential supplies such as oil, denying budgets including civil servants’ salaries, and shutting down development institutions established after the Pretoria Agreement—are clear attempts to cripple the people of Tigray from within.
These measures, combined with ongoing military movements that violate the Pretoria Agreement and impose embargoes and sanctions, leave us no choice but to resist fiercely. Our national institutions are mobilizing, reorganizing, and strengthening their efforts to confront this existential threat head-on.
We call upon the international community to recognize these aggressive actions not merely as political maneuvers, but as deliberate steps toward genocide. It is imperative that the world acknowledge the ongoing atrocities and the grave implications of the Ethiopian government’s policies.
The fight for national survival, sovereignty, and unity is more critical now than ever. We remember and honor our martyrs whose sacrifice inspires us to continue this struggle with unwavering resolve.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. We hope for your support and solidarity as we stand united in the face of unimaginable adversity.
#TigrayCrisis
Sincerely,
@BerhanuAsres
What Ethiopians Did to Tigray Must Never Be Forgotten
Those calling for federal intervention in #Tigray should remember what its army was doing. In this 2022 footage, ENDF soldiers torture and taunt a young man before killing him, saying, “Don’t kill him, we want him to suffer.”
