Danke @ARTEInfo für diese unglaublich wichtige Dokumentation der Tatsachen in Tigray, wo momentan eine menschenverursachte humanitäre Katastrophe und Hungersnot herrscht, die in Deutschland kaum Aufmerksamkeit erhalten hat. Euer Beitrag scheint Lichts ins Dunkle. #TigrayGenocide

[ARTE Info @ARTEInfo]

⚠️ Schockierender Inhalt: Die Region #Tigray in Äthiopien ist wegen des Bürgerkriegs vom Rest des Landes abgeschnitten. Es gibt keinen Strom, kein Milchpulver und kein Benzin für Krankenwagen.

If the Ethiopian government doesn't want people to believe @HRW's latest report on its allies' ongoing ethnic cleansing in western Tigray, why doesn't it allow independent journalists and human rights monitors in to see? What is it hiding? https://t.co/nRdozRTcZR

Survivors of the Tigray war are now starving to death.

According to UNHCR, 90% of the population in this region is at risk of starvation. Due to the cut of supplies since 4 months by international NGOs the situation has worsened. ⬇️

#Ethiopia: HRW says ethnic cleansing persists in Western #Tigray despite peace deal, urges federal gov’t to enforce accountability https://t.co/lfe1eePH8q
#HRW said its research found that two officials, Col. Demeke Zewdu & Belay Ayalew, who were previously implicated in abuses, continue to be involved in arbitrary detention, torture, & forced deportations of #Tigrayans, and urged for investigation of serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law to be conducted.

Forces from #Ethiopia's Amhara region that borders #Tigray have been accused of “ethnic cleansing” for evicting hundreds of thousands of Tigrayans from western Tigray. https://t.co/GnEBj1Ezrf

There are millions of people in dire need of food aid in Tigray. @USAID and @WFP's suspension of food assistance will have severe consequences for vulnerable groups, children, farmers, and peace. #Opinion by @NTNU postdoctoral fellow @TeklehaymanotG.

Are you a pianist aged between 18 – 32 and wish to play in front of an international jury at Beethoven Fest in Bonn?

The 10th edition of the “International Telekom Beethoven Competition in Bonn” is open to pianists from all over the world.

A long list of claims, which are evidenced by human rights organizations research, were put to Ethiopian officials. Sadly for all the response has not changed in the last 2 years and remains on a path which does not give confidence to progress through reconciliation and justice.

3rd May - #Tigrayan Civilians Were The Target of a 'Relentless Ethnic Cleansing Campaign'

@TouzeSebastien: ❝Since November 2020, the authorities and the #Amhara security forces have been waging a merciless campaign of what you might call ethnic cleansing to try and drive out the #Tigray people out of Western Tigray. They're doing this with the consent and the potential participation of the #Ethiopian Federal forces, to do this they resort to threats, to unlawful homicides, sexual violence, the use arbitrary detentions on a massive scale, as well as pillaging, force transfers and deprivation of Humanitarian Aid.❞

#Ethiopia's Mixed Signals https://t.co/VZweQtSeGp

* “In #Tigray itself, the war may be over, but the suffering is not. Credible reports indicate that the peace agreement has not stopped forced displacements in contested areas of the region. The presence of #Eritrean forces, and #Amhara militia, persists.”
***
* “Citizens are restricted from accessing social media. Journalists continue to be subject to arbitrary arrest and harassment. These centralized efforts to assert control can be counterproductive, fueling more suspicion and resentment.”
***
* “#Washington should proceed with caution, looking for concrete indicators that Ethiopian politics are normalizing, that decision-makers are not beholden to malign actors, that civil and political rights are being respected…” @CFR_org

#Ethiopia's #Tigray war: 'I'm not even sure if my family is alive or not'

https://t.co/hAV0lK24yW

A woman trying to start a new life in the West Midlands after fleeing civil war in Ethiopia has described the horror of the conflict and the fear of never seeing her family again.

"I saw a lot of things," said Ms Haile, 28, who has settled in Walsall.

"Soldiers killing civilians, killing our neighbours, destroying, looting houses... killing in the street. They were shooting, raping."

Dr. Filimon Mesfin, director of Mekelle General Hospital: “I have literally cried writing down some of the stories [of sexual violence]. It’s very worrisome to see these kind of cases as a medical doctor, as a citizen, as a human being.”

[Mariel Müller @_MarielMueller]

Likely more than 600,000 people have been killed in the war in #Tigray, Northern #Ethiopia. But despite last year’s peace deal between Ethiopia’s government and Tigray leadership, sexual attacks on women and girls have continued witnesses told @dwnews (1/2)

[Neven Subotic @NSubotic4]

In #Tigray "sexual violence was used as a weapon of war". Thanks to @_MarielMueller and @DeutscheWelle for highlight this fact which some officials are trying to swipe under the rug.

[Mariel Müller @_MarielMueller]

The war in #Tigray, Ethiopia, ranks among the deadliest conflicts in recent times. UN investigators have said sexual violence was used as a weapon of war. With a cease-fire agreed, more and more accounts of atrocities are emerging. My report @dwnews https://t.co/A9B27WufjU

Today, Secretary Blinken has announced the findings of the State Department's review of atrocities reported during the war in northern #Ethiopia:
🔹all parties to the conflict committed war crimes
🔹the ENDF, EDF, and Amhara forces committed crimes against humanity in Tigray

Eritrean soldiers allegedly massacred at least 300 people near #Adwa just days before the Ethiopian government and #Tigray forces signed a peace deal. A survivor in the village of Mariam Shewito told @dwnews her story. https://t.co/MoShiBwOpZ
