US Backtracks on Ethiopia Atrocity Determination
“Not only does the decision ignore the reality that grave human rights violations are continuing throughout the country, but sends a disastrous signal that US atrocity determinations have few consequences” https://t.co/6r8EoxDvWx
#Eritrean forces continue to wage devastation in #Tigray, once again interfering with vital humanitarian efforts - a lifeline to the region.
The U.S. & the int. community cannot lose focus on this issue until Eritrean troops are fully out of #Ethiopia.

A woman without a home, a husband, kids & without her sight: all because of a senseless violence no fault of hers. The whole world, myself included, call her an IDP, an acronym that conveniently hides the multiple sufferings she has & continues to endure. This must stop & soon!
UN Says #Tigray Inquiry 'Essential' to Prevent Future Abuses
"The commission stresses that independent investigations and accountability…is essential, not just for justice for survivors, victims and their families but also to deter commission of future violations and abuses."
This @mfaethiopia statement calling the US determination of atrocity crimes-committed to varying degrees by all sides in Tigray, "untimely and inflammatory" only further demonstrates that #Ethiopia has no true idea what transitional justice is, how to pursue it or why it matters
US Says Ethiopia, Eritrea Committed Crimes Against Humanity In #Tigray
BREAKING: "Members of the ENDF, EDF and #Amhara forces also committed crimes against humanity including murder, rape and other forms of sexual violence and prosecution," said @SecBlinken. 1/
Days after returning from #Ethiopia, Sec Blinken has finally made public a long-overdue determination on the horrific atrocities committed during the war in northern Ethiopia. The admin should now match this w/ action to hold accountable those responsible. https://t.co/8oKOQf5tGG
Today, Secretary Blinken has announced the findings of the State Department's review of atrocities reported during the war in northern #Ethiopia:
🔹all parties to the conflict committed war crimes
🔹the ENDF, EDF, and Amhara forces committed crimes against humanity in Tigray
Exclusive: Just days before a deal to end the war in Ethiopia’s Tigray region, soldiers from neighboring Eritrea last fall massacred more than 300 villagers over the course of a week, according to witnesses and victims’ relatives. https://t.co/l73hi4ZsmC
❗️My thoughts about #Tigray constituting a Provisional Government per Pretoria agreement.
While I will forever remain in awe of the unmatched resilience and gallantry of #Tegaru to make this happen, I also remain sorrowful and regretful that so many young people, perhaps up to 1 million souls have lost their lives and were made disabled.
So many dreams of #Ethiopia youth of having a full life have been extinguished. So many people have lost their homes and were forced to become refugees.
Stains of bad blood between communities is to stay for generations to have brothers and sisters look at each other with resentment, hate and suspicion for decades to come. It will take so long, if ever to cleanse that stain.
#Ethiopia #Tigray #Eritrea #Somalia or anyone else in the Horn of Africa cannot afford to have another war, another mayhem.
None of us will NOT survive it. We all will perish.
Let this one be THE LAST ONE!
