Bosnian army was fighting to break the siege on Srebrenica.
TDF is fighting to break the siege on Tigray.
When the international community is absent or unwilling to act, that's all that is left to do.
#TigrayGenocide
Mr Secretary @SecBlinken are you not alarmed on this “Amid calls on social media for attacks against ethnic Tigrayans, @AbiyAhmedAli said “we should closely follow those who work for the enemy and live amongst us.”
A new roundup of Tigrayans was seen in the capital on Monday.
#Tigray is under siege, millions are starving to death and with no basic health services. Children without the basic immunization, mothers with no proper delivery services. Many dying of COVID and aerial bombardments
@StateDeptSpox@USAmbUN@JosepBorrellF
@StateDeptSpox How many times have you copied and pasted this statement in the past few months? Over 6 mln is starving & living under blockade and you are equalizing both actors. A ‘grave concern’ doesn’t save the life of ppl dying due to starvation, lack of medicine & blanket airstrikes.
Reminder why Tigray Defence Forces are in #Dessie, Amhara region. Their people have been under occupation/blockade since November 2020. In past few months, less than 10% of urgent humanitarian relief required has been allowed to enter Tigray. 1 million are suffering from famine!
It has been a month since the #EO announced by @POTUS. Since then hundreds have died due to starvation and blanket bombing. A ppln of over 6 mln is starving & living under a complete blockade.
When is the time for ACTION?
@SecBlinken@USTreasury@StateDeptSpox@JosepBorrellF
@UNGeneva@VilleDeGeneve Did you ever prevented a genocide from happening?
Have you ever managed to resolve a conflict?
You always watch idly when a crisis is happening.
I can’t see any success to celebrate. UN is a symbol of a failure of multilateralism.
It seems that there is a new definition of humanitarian law in the books of @UN.
If blocking hum. aid is not a violation of IHL
If obstruction of access to medicines is not against IHL
Then what does IHL entail?
.@UN & NGOs are making every effort to continue delivering assistance in Tigray, Amhara and Afar.
I reiterate our grave concern for civilians.
All parties to the conflict must respect international humanitarian law.
Food stores were ransacked
Farmers were blocked 2 plough their land
Access to hum. aid is still blocked
Bank, electric power & telecom is shut off
Health centers r destroyed & access 2 medicines is blocked
How long will u survive if u r in #Tigray now?
#AllowAccessToTigray
In #Tigray, ... even urban dwellers with enough savings in the bank are dying. Their children are dying. Because they don't have access to their money. ..." ~@reda_getachew
Banking & other public services remain cut off since end of June.
#EndTigraySiege@POTUS@SecBlinken
@SecBlinken@UN@antonioguterres Yes, the @UN was established 2 have a global importance. But @antonioguterres is not impartial 2 the conflict in #Tigray. He has been idly watching while the infrastructure & livelihoods of a whole region is destroyed and when horrific #SGBV & ethnic cleansing r being committed.
As seen from a number of reports from the war fronts, there are thousands and thousands of #Eritrean and #Ethiopian POWs in #Tigray. Our people are forced to feed them to keep them alive, what is @ICRC @RMardiniICRC @PMaurerICRC doing to feed them?
When is the time 4 action?
Over 5.2 mln ppl in #Tigray r starving & living under siege w/o access 2 basic necessities.
& now they r bearing daily airstrikes.
Yet, the IC seems 2 keep calculating its political gains over humanity.
