3 yrs since youth in #Tigray didn't go to school due to corrona & the war. We got to act to componsate the painful loss. Support needed. By selling vegetables & other goods, those youth support family livelihood. Pics shot at GiraTserhi (ግራፀርሒ) near KusadGudo (ኽሳድጉዶ)
#Raya Brewery at #Maychew#Tigray is warming up to start production after 2 years - Kudos to the hard working & committed management & staff who kept the factory intact & clean! Once it is back to service, it will revitalise the economy of this historical city & beyond #peace
This is what I observed from the data I collected. For a TDF fighter, it is a twofold agony to get back home and find his beloved wife in endless pain due to the genocidal rape. We'd appreciate not only the TDF fighters but also honour their wives.

They don't hide their ill intentions. They tell the #Tigrayan, "your husband is fighting against us BUT he can't rescue you from us. We will leave him our leftover. Don't ever expect to give birth in the future. We will damage your genitalia forever."

The invaders designed a genocidal tool to psychologically traumatise members of the TDF. If they think a woman is the wife of a TDF fighter, they try hard to damage her body forever by raping her for an extended period of time (weeks) & mutilating her genitalia.

"They [Amhara forces] murdered my husband at home in my eyes. They dragged him out & burned his body. We're denied of burying his remains. Then, they gang raped me & took all my possessions." https://t.co/6GBRIzXCCW #Justice4TigrayWomenAndGirls@AntonellaNapoli@nataliesophia
This happened everywhere the genocidal Eritrean troops have set foot.
In every village and town they occupied, we hear that Eritrean soldiers have either dismanted and taken the equiments with them or they have destroyed the wells to make them unusable.
Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay - the international day to remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside millions of other people murdered under Nazi persecution of other groups, and in more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. #HMD2023

#Tigray children deserve to goback 2 schools just like other children in z world z beginning of #Tigray invasion, 2million children were out of schools, many schools destroyed & countless children were displaced or killed, international Educcation day" resume education in #Tigray
Our children have not gone to school for very long-3 years (except for the crash course which was given for 5 months for those <6 th grade). Child rights! Children should not be victims anywhere in the world. If you see this happening to your child, you would have understood.

Earlier today - Eritrean soldiers in Tigray waving their flag with a banner, "Game Over” “This is how we r" - boasting about fighting alongside ENDF, Amhara militias & their allies, the war crimes & crimes against humanity they committed against the people of Tigray @SecBlinken
#Eritrea’s 2022 rights record remained abysmal:
▶️ Widespread repression + unfettered power
▶️Forced conscriptions + punishments against relatives
▶️Restrictions on religious freedoms
▶️Ongoing violations in Tigray

If I was a state, here is my benchmark for normalising with Ethiopia:
▶️Pullout of all non-ENDF from all parts of Tigray
▶️Full basic services in all areas
▶️Unfettered humanitarian access
▶️Start of political settlement process
▶️Start of accountability process for war crimes
France, Germany urge Ethiopia on accountability after war.
“I would like to say, as a female foreign minister, no, it is not normal that rapes are part of wars,” Baerbock said.
Really? Sadly I can’t think of a war with no rape https://t.co/lova6LoR3X
