#Tigray children deserve a normal school life just like other kids in the world.
Since #TigrayGenocide began 2M children have been out of school, over 7,000 schools destroyed & countless children have been displaced or killed.
Yet #Abiy has started another round of senseless war

Why is there no care about the war in Ethiopia?
Two countries, Ethiopia and Eritrea are in coordination attacking an Ethiopian region of Tigray in what may end up being an ethnic cleansing.
Besides the hot war, food and medical provision for Tigray is held by Ethiopia.
I called today for those responsible for bombing civilian population in #Tigray and weaponising #rape and #starvation to be brought to justice and renewed my call for the withdrawal of Eritrean militias. Tigray is Africa’s Ukraine.
