25th June - @MeazaG_ on Ethiopia's "Transitional Justice" for the Genocide committed in #Tigray
❝There are concrete evidences that prove what happened was indeed a state-led Genocide that resulted in the killing and the massacre of over half a million people, and the conflict related sexual violence of over 350,000 young girls and women. But despite these facts, they are independently verified, the State Department, and others said the US government continues to push for a Transitional Justice.
Transitional Justice in a very simple term is like reconciliation or forgiving, and moving forward. We don't believe, I personally as an International Relations Researcher, and as a Human Rights Defender do not believe Transitional Justice would lead towards stability and peace. What could lead towards sustainable peace in Ethiopia is, real accountability and Justice mechanism that the people continue to call for. This is not really a call only coming from the people in Tigray, I believe this is a call that is echoed across the board by all Ethiopians. There is a very legitimate reason why that's the case, why we don't think transitional Justice will lead Ethiopia towards sustainable peace and stability.
One, the federal government controls all Judiciary mechanisms in Ethiopia including the Supreme Court, doesn't have the political will nor the commitment to render Justice for the crimes it committed.
Two, the Ethiopian Judiciary System doesn't have the capacity to adjudicate crimes as grave as weaponized sexual violence, and man-made famine, and massacre.
Third, and the most important thing is the conflict in Tigray was not a local conflict, it was a regional conflict that involved #Eritrean, #Somalia to a certain degree, #UAE United Arab Emirates and many other countries, and so there has to be a Justice and accountability mechanism that truly reflects the reality, and has the intention, and the capacity to forge a better path going forward.
But what's happening today as it has been echoed earlier when folks from the State Department were talking is that the US Government, and others haven't seen enough of the evil nature of the Federal government, they haven't seen enough of how little to no regard the Federal government has when it comes to Human Rights, and they want to continue giving them chance to kill and and massacre more people, and marginalized even more people in the Nation.
So really the solution here is for Global, or International Partners including the US Government to have a well informed foreign policy towards Ethiopia. Foreign policy that centers the aspirations, and the political wishes of the #Ethiopian people and not necessarily the few that continue to influence the Foreign Policy.
The last thing I would say is, ensuring that there is a victim centered approach to everything that we do, as we continue to aspire and to hope, to create a better future for Ethiopians. We have to make sure that our advocacy centers, on the voices of the victims.❞

To All Of You Countries who issued this shameful statement. What heck were you thinking when you came up with this “STUPID L❗️” ignorant and selfish statement. How dare you ignore the #TigrayGenocide, how dare you ignore the continuous sufferings of the people #Tigray and focus on the nonsense instead of the main issues of the Pretoria agreement 1) Expulsion of Non-ENDF, Eritrea🇪🇷 Shaebiya, Amhara Fano, 2) #UnfetteredHumanitarianAidToTigray, and #ResettlementOfTigrayIDPs. Do you really think because you are wealthy countries you can dictate poor countries. You are ignoring everything and justifying Crime against humanity. Japan 🇯🇵 Hiroshima was bombed did you accept that as just ❓ if you didn’t think that was justified. What the heck makes you think the Genocide was just in Tigray. Germany 🇩🇪, You are still paying for the Holocaust victims for crimes against humanity your ancestors committed against the Jewish people. What makes you think the atrocities committed in #Tigray are justified if you admitted the Holocaust Wrong ❓The USA 🇺🇸. You fought the “Red Coats” to build a free republic that is by the people for the people ❗️Why are you then undermining the fight of the people of #Tigray against the tyranny you planted in Ethiopia 🇪🇹. What are you all really trying to communicate to the new generation in Ethiopia 🇪🇹. The Ethiopian youth will put you to shame. We are sick and tired of your “invisible hands” that is trying to divide and rule Ethiopia. We say NO❗️to this statement. There are many Ethiopians that are sitting on the side lines and observing the nonsense that is going on. It is the corrupt politicians who you bought that are dividing and destroying Ethiopia. The Ethiopian youth is watching. The Ethiopian people are learning who the real enemies are…Ethiopia is not like other nations… Ethiopian including Amhara, Tigray, Oromo , the Southern nations and nationalities, the Afar, Somalia, and the Benishangul Gumuz have learned very important lesson with in the past 3 years of Crisis.
We will throw out your corrupt politicians and We Ethiopians will get up and stand up together NOT TO FALL INTO YOUR TRAPS AGAIN.
Because the statement you issued clearly is a recipe for disaster and we know all of us in conflict understand that your intentions are NOT to bring a lasting solution, but to destroy Ethiopia. Because everything you have been doing was adding fuel to the flames that are consuming ALL ETHIOPIANS.
REMOVE YOUR NOSE ❗️
