@RenaissanceDam I think the gov't is too busy in internal matters.

[Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention @LemkinInstitute]

For the past eight years, the Amhara people in Ethiopia have been systematically targeted based on their ethnic identity and subjected to killings, abductions, sexual violence, and arbitrary detention. This pattern of violence has led to an estimated tens of thousands of civilian casualties. The tightly knit genocidal structure that the regime of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has created to "exterminate" Amhara identity all over Ethiopia must be dismantled.

The @LemkinInstitute renews our call on the international community to end its complicity with the Abiy regime and exert sustained pressure on the Ethiopian government to ensure the protection of all civilians and dismantle its genocidal apparatus, which it has been using against any population it views as threatening for almost a decade.

@obomboleti87632 Diplomatically, it is not wise to belittle a nation of about 5 million people and with economic advantage and cultural ties to Ethiopia. Leaders come and go. But, people continue to exist.

[Babysho @Babysho16]

According to the Addis Ababa law enforcement report, if everything was truly “false information” and Teddy Afro was peacefully at home, then why were Mahlet Solomon, Yusuf Yasin, and even DJs reportedly targeted, arrested, or pressured? You cannot claim there was no suppression while people around him were being intimidated simply for their association, music, or support. Actions speak louder than official statements. Arresting individuals connected to an artist while dismissing public concern raises even bigger questions. This is unacceptable. Freedom of expression should not come with fear, intimidation, or selective enforcement. We will call on the international community to pay close attention and get involved in addressing these serious concerns.

💽🎤 أثار قرار السلطات الإثيوبية إلغاء حفل إطلاق ألبوم غنائي جديد للفنان تيودوروس كاساهون، المعروف بـ"تيدي أفرو"، جدلاً واسعاً في الأوساط الفنية والسياسية الإثيوبية، لجهة تعارضه مع حرية التعبير والإبداع

📌 تم بحجج تعارض مضمون الأغاني مع مبادئ "الوحدة الوطنية والتحريض على معارضة النظام السياسي"

Wallpaper the Internet with this image. Shove it in the feeds of all the Abiy regime diplomatic and ministerial accounts. Make them choke on it.😠

And as I suggested before, go PLAY DAS TAL OUTSIDE ETHIOPIAN EMBASSIES & CONSULATES. Make it a song of freedom.

AND PLAY IT LOUD!

Teddy Afro's new album Etorika dropped 5 days ago.

It now has 72M+ views on YouTube.
It's trending in 22 countries.
#1 in 9 of them, No 6 in 🇺🇸

This is probably the first time any Ethiopian artist have had this much exposure in the global music industry.

Let me show you how fast this is moving 🧵

Label, Withdraw Troops, Provide Time, Mask Atrocity

The Tole Execution Window - June 18, 2022

Eight hours of carnage killed 1500+ Amhara civilians.
The killers were moving from village to village chasing every soul they could find and slaughter each of them. When all this atrocity happens the Federal army (ENDF) was stationed just 17 kilometers from the site of the carnage.

The army received frantic calls from local administrators and dying victims, the military ignored the emergency calls in a Calculated Latency. Later they claimed they had "no orders" from Addis Ababa. As if protecting its citizen should come as order from the capital not from the basic moral tenure of being a federal army.

This state-enforced silence provided the OLA/Shene militias a protected window to perform the unthinkable—the systematic disembowelment of pregnant women and the torching of entire villages.

This was no accident. Later retrieved satellite imagery and survivor testimonies confirm the state security forces only arrived once the killers had safely retreated. The pattern mirrors what happened at Bedeno in 1992, but with modern efficiency.

The shocking Intent is found in the aftermath: rather than ordering a military inquiry, the Prime Minster laughed in Parliament, offering #GreenLegacy saplings to "shade the graves" of those his army refused to protect.

This is the standard #Oromummaa led government military pattern:

1. Label the target as "Neftegna" (Settler),
2. Withdraw federal protection,
3. Provide a 7-8 hour window for manual genocide, and
4. Mask the atrocity with environmental or "Prosperity" rhetoric.

What happened in Tole wasn't a failure of the state; rather it was a success of state-sponsored demographic engineering.

Title:Ethiopia Will Not Carry Egypt’s Water Burden

Egypt’s @AlsisiOfficial says water is an “existential issue” and that there will be “no compromise.”

Fine. Ethiopia also has existential issues: electricity, food production, poverty reduction, climate resilience, and sovereign development on Abbay.

Egypt keeps repeating that it depends more on the Nile because much of Egypt is desert. But that is not Ethiopia’s burden to carry forever. Geography does not give one country ownership over a shared river. Scarcity is not a title deed. Dependence is not a veto.

Ethiopia has no obligation to guarantee Egypt’s preferred water security model at the expense of Ethiopian sovereignty, development, and national security. International water law is built on equitable and reasonable utilization, cooperation, and no significant harm not permanent downstream control over upstream development.

The Nile is not Egypt’s private property.

The Blue Nile rises in Ethiopia. Ethiopia has its own people, farmers, industries, power demand, and climate risks. An independent country cannot be expected to freeze its future because another country built its water policy around entitlement.

Cooperation is valuable. But responsibility begins at home.

Egypt has options: groundwater, reuse, desalination, the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, demand management, agricultural reform, and efficiency. Egypt must invest in its own water security instead of turning Ethiopia’s natural contribution into a permanent political hostage.

For decades, Ethiopia’s water flowed downstream while Ethiopia remained poor, dark, and underdeveloped. Now that Ethiopia is using Abbay for hydropower and development, Egypt calls it a threat.

No.

What is threatened is not Egypt’s survival. What is threatened is Egypt’s old monopoly mindset.

Ethiopia will not carry Egypt’s burden. Ethiopia will not accept a downstream veto. Ethiopia will not apologize for developing its own river.

Fairness is non-negotiable.

The future of the basin must be cooperation without domination, law without colonial privilege, and water security without sacrificing Ethiopia’s sovereignty.

@RArarssa I wish and pray "The worst comes upon you and your like" who hide in a foreign country freely and declare distruction on others. Your false narration of Oromo being pushed aside and prosecuted is the reason that we're in.
