Occupation & ethnic cleansing of #Irob, land inhabited by Tigray’s indigenous minority, is ongoing. Without the renewal of the #ICHREE mandate, the path to justice is obstructed. Without accountability, the cycle of violence against minorities will only continue. #Justice4Tigray
The #TigrayGenocide has created a displacement crisis in which millions of Tigrayans are left without means to survive. Without needed protection in host countries/IDP sites & a clear path for returning home, refugees and IDPs need our support. Any amount makes a difference for their day to day lives.👇🏽

We are greatly disappointed in @achpr_cadhp’s termination of their investigation into human rights violations in #Tigray. Victims shared their painful stories to push for justice + accountability. The ACHPR must reverse their decision. #Justice4Tigray

This is so heartbreaking watching a mother cry in anguish over her missing son. 💔
I really hope and pray that she finds her son. No parent deserves to go through this pain.

https://t.co/clwajEtpeF
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has called for the release of Bekalu Alamrew, founder of YouTube-based news channel Alpha Media, who was arrested by Ethiopian authorities.
CPJ expressed concerns about press freedom and stated that Bekalu had extensively covered the ongoing confrontations in Amhara region.
This is Bekalu’s fourth arrest, with previous detentions relating to false information dissemination and defamation.
“In #Tigray, #Eritrean troops waged a campaign of gang-rape, sexual slavery, enforced starvation, torture and mass killings against the civilian population, including a 2021 massacre of about 50 people in #Irob on #Ethiopia’s Christmas Day, 7 January.”⬇️
🔟 months after the Pretoria agreement, we are still calling for #EritreaOutOfTigray.

Feature: “I lost my two newborn babies due to hunger”– a mother in Abiy Addi IDP camp, #Tigray https://t.co/6SLcvw4WNm
After finding initial refuge in the town of Edaga Arbi, a mere 42 kilometers southeast of Adwa for few months, leaving behind the violence that had ravaged her hometown of Kafta Humera in western Tigray, Abeba’s hopes were soon overshadowed by the escalating war. Undeterred by the challenges, Abeba made the heartbreaking decision to walk 70 kilometers with her four children, and arrived at the Abiy Addi IDP camp where she currently resides.
However, the harsh reality of life in the camp proved to be far from the sanctuary she had envisioned. Abeba’s family was plunged into a desperate state of starvation. Abeba’s struggles were compounded when her husband eventually reunited with the family at the camp. In the midst of their reunion, a glimmer of hope appeared when Ababa discovered she was pregnant. However, the joy was short-lived as she tragically lost two of her newborn triplets just four days after their arrival into this world in May 2023.
Abeba’s infants are among the hundreds of under five children died of acute malnutrition in Tigray, amidst worsening humanitarian situation in the region, mainly due to the ongoing suspension of humanitarian aid. According to official figures, over 1300 people, including children, have died of hunger and related causes since the suspension of humanitarian assistance in Tigray.
Tigray: Still areas where Eritrean troops remain;no humanitarian access. Guardian: “Eritrean troops waged campaign of gang-rape,sexual slavery,enforced starvation,torture,mass killings”. Still no justice & impunity for perpetrators @AndrewmitchMP https://t.co/UOpdanN7CG
Tigray has faced cultural genocide by Ethiopian & Eritrean forces. Churches, monasteries, mosques, & other symbolic sites have been demolished & looted of artifacts, leaving the identity of the Tigrayan people at risk of erasure. @UNOSAPG#Justice4Tigray
