Tigray rebuilt modern Ethiopia. Tigrayan blood and sweat helped forge Ethiopia into economic, military, diplomatic powerhouse.

That Ethiopia would turn on those who led struggle to liberate & modernise it, is history's tragic ironies.

A belated Happy #Lekatit11 to all Tegaru.

[Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF]

According to the @UN, more than 100 civilians have already been killed this year in air strikes against #Tigray. Targeting civilians with drones is not a good step in the direction of national dialogue and reconciliation. And this is what #Ethiopia needs now.

The only #African writing system (Ge'ez), the first 3 Abrahamic religions in #Africa, the pride for anti colonial #African indepedence (#Adwa), the oldest manuscript in #Africa, all found in #Tigray.

This map published by the Derg in 1978 shows nationalities in northern #Ethiopia 🇪🇹

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

I support @POTUS decision to end #Ethiopia’s eligibility for special trade benefits under the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act or AGOA. The law is clear, and Ethiopia failed to meet the human rights requirements. More progress is needed on humanitarian access & toward peace.

Hugely important news: an international commission will be set up to investigate atrocities in #Ethiopia -

[Atakelty Hailu @DrAtakelty]

@JosepBorrellF @UN_HRC Thank you for being a consistent voice throughout.

Breaking: New wave of atrocities in Western #Tigray - Tigrayan civilians facing killings, detention, and organised mass expulsion. https://t.co/Io0TtS1FAc

[Laetitia Bader @LaetitiaBader]

In last month, Amhara security forces have rounded up, killed, & forcibly expelled Tigrayans from Western Tigray. New @hrw and @amnesty on the latest wave of atrocities in the zone. Govt must guarantee access to detainees, int'l investigation needed. https://t.co/a2rs1QK8wp

[Atakelty Hailu @DrAtakelty]

@TiborPNagyJr And hear you come again on another Christmas to remind us of what you and your colleagues. Why don’t you leave it to us to judge how things might end. Ethiopia is a playground for powers from the eastern hemisphere as America keeps ‘urging’. Whose legacy is that?

[Mark Anderson @markc_anderson]

#Ethiopia's mass arrests of Tigrayans is likely a violation of intl law, says Australia, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, the UK and the US. Tigrayans are being arrested and detained without charges and are reportedly being held in inhumane conditions. https://t.co/gYHYbUEsAn

[Sen. Kesha Ram Hinsdale @KeshaRam]

For too long, our foreign policy has not fully acknowledged that #BlackLivesMatter. We said after the Rwandan genocide that we would not stand by again. We must take swift action in Tigray to provide relief, end the loss of life and treat this like the genocide that it is.

[Seifesilassie Gebremeskel @SeifGebre]

For months it has been reported that the Ethiopian regime is abducting civilian Tigrayans from all over Ethiopia. Now the regime is marching them as POW hoping to boost its morale.

[Rashid Abdi @RAbdiAnalyst]

TDF is making tactical "territorial adjustments" according to its generals. Every army does that.

As usual, Abiy is eager to claim a non-existent victory.

I am almost certain Abiy's ethnic militias will suffer a rout worse than June 2021.

[Congressman Brad Sherman @BradSherman]

The U.S. must take every available action to end PM Abiy & Eritrea's blockade of Tigray, get food aid to the 1 million facing famine, and prevent genocide. (3/3)
