Ethiopia is about to hold another sham election. Real opposition parties face obstructions while fake opposition parties are allowed to flourish. https://t.co/F88ZAPXnrb

Authorities and security forces in Ethiopia’s contested Western Tigray Zone are arbitrarily detaining ethnic Tigrayans and severely restricting their movements, employment, and access to services, treating them as second-class citizens. https://t.co/OXxPeEMK3I
Sais-tu pourquoi toutes les guerres portent le nom du pays attaqué ?
– Guerre du Vietnam
– Guerre de Corée
– Guerre d’Irak
– Guerre d’Iran…
Parce que si elles portaient le nom du pays agresseur, elles s’appelleraient toutes la Guerre des États-Unis !

In the War on Tigray (Northern Ethiopia), both Iran and Israel supported the same side. They helped Abiy Ahmed commit one of the worst atrocities of the 21st century. They supplied drones and intelligence.
This happened 5 years ago.
We cried for the world to stop it.
Some are asking why I wrote my appeal to peace in Amharic. I chose Amharic as it is the primary working language of Ethiopia and widely understood. Including all five working languages - Tigrigna, Amharic, Afaan Oromo, Somali, and Afar - would be beneficial. Here you go…
ጦርነት ትርፉ ሞት፣ ጥፋት፣ መፈናቀልና ረሃብ ብቻ ነው! ፖለቲካዊ መፍትሄ ሁሌም አለ። እውነተኛ ጀግኖች ሰላምን ይመርጣሉ። ለሰላም ዕድል እንስጥ! 🕊️
ኲናት ትርፉ ሞት፣ ጥፍኣት፣ ምዝንባልን ጥሜትን ጥራይ እዩ! ፖለቲካዊ መፍትሒ ወትሩ ኣሎ። ናይ ሓቂ ጀጋኑ ሰላም ይመርፁ። ንሰላም ዕድል ንሃብ! 🕊️"
Waraanni bu’aan isaa du’a, badii, buqqa’insaafi beela qofa! Furmaanni siyaasaa yoomiyyuu jira. Goonni dhugaan nagaa filata. Nagaadhaaf carraa haa kenninu! 🕊️
Dagaalku waxa laga dhaxlaa oo kaliya dhimasho, burbur, barakac iyo macaluul! Xal siyaasadeed mar walba waa uu jiraa. Geesiyaasha dhabta ahi waxay doortaan nabadda. Aan fursad siinno nabadda! 🕊️
Carbi dubuk rabaay, finqaay, dufuu kee qululu bahta! Umman way siyaasâ fidga tan. Numma agiira salaam doorita. Salaam saami nacay! 🕊️
Courage for Peace.
Peace is the best medicine.

International media now being blocked from traveling to Tigray to report on mounting mobilization for war. This comes a week after Reuters journalists are expelled from Addis for reporting on ENDF aid to RSF. Addis removing any speed bumps in the fast lane towards war.
#Ethiopia: an @afpfr journalist was prevented from boarding a flight in Addis Ababa to report on #Tigray. RSF condemns this administrative censorship and violation of the right to inform, and calls on the authorities to end the restrictions imposed on international media.
#Éthiopie : un journaliste de l'@afpfr a été empêché d’embarquer à Addis-Abeba pour un reportage au #Tigré. RSF dénonce une censure administrative & une violation de la liberté d'informer, et demande aux autorités de mettre fin aux entraves infligées aux médias internationaux.
The UAE-funded regime in Ethiopia is destroying the livelihood of poor farmers in Amhara region. The regime soldiers have also been raping thousands of women in Amhara region. This level of impunity is enabled by Emirati financing.
