Ethiopian soldiers torching an entire town in #Tigray. Eritrean soldiers too are massacring civilians, raping and looting in the areas they invaded. The international community should take action before it’s too late.

Spoke directly to @POTUS#Biden today regarding potential genocide in #Tigray. He is very well aware of the situation and is open to hear my ideas on how to respond, particularly to pressure #Eritrea to withdraw troops.
More than 50 people were killed in an air strike on Tuesday that hit a school in northern Ethiopia's Tigray region that was sheltering people displaced by conflict between the federal and regional governments, two aid workers and Tigray forces said. https://t.co/vfpDkHQly7
A woman being pulled of a residential area in Adi Daero town, #Tigray, Ethiopia, bombed by Eritrean forces.
Civilians are #NotATarget and must be protected.
Imagine establishing a @UN body dealing with internet connectivity & human rights, holding its gathering in a country putting 6M ppl in one of the longest internet shutdowns in history—TWO YEARS. That’s what @intgovforum is. Chaired by @vgcerf “father of the internet”
Shameful.
While world leaders are meeting at #UNGA to discuss global challenges, #Eritrea started a major offensive on #Tigray, Ethiopia. This comes after 6 million Tigrayans have been under the siege for more than 22 months. This horror must stop & health assistance allowed in.
Another day, another #Ethiopi|an #drone attack on #civilians in #Mekelle.
“…most of Wednesday's victims were hit in a second strike after people had gathered to assist victims of a first hit.”
💔
This is wrong on so many levels.

"For more than 21 months, the 6 million people of Tigray have been under a suffocating siege that has killed people not only with bullets or bombs, but by weaponising banking, fuel, food, electricity and health care."
@DrTedros calls for the lifting of the blockade in #Tigray.
Ethiopian and Eritrean forces have sealed off 6 million people systematically for nearly two yrs and now they started another offensive.
This heartbreaking cruelty continues to not be condemned & the suffering continues. Peace is possible, let’s seek it.
There was a drone attack in Mekelle City, close to midnight. It has bombed the neighbourhood around Mekelle General Hospital. Casualties are arriving to Ayder Hospital.
Reported air strikes against #Mekelle targeting civilians add to the numerous violations of international humanitarian law in #Tigray.
They cast a terrible shadow on the commitment taken by the Government of Ethiopia to engage in peace negotiations.
I condemn today’s air strikes in #Mekelle, which resulted in the deaths of civilians. I urge again for the respect of International Humanitarian Law. Civilians are #NotATarget. I call on all parties to engage in peace talks and to allow humanitarian aid to reach those in need.
The children of Tigray have been starving and disconnected from the world since November 2020. No food, no phone, no medicine, no hope.
And now they're being bombed. What a horrible world.
Horrifying images from Mekelle. Children killed in a kindergarten in today's air strike on #Tigray, while the 21-month starvation, deprivation & death of children continue. The siege by Ethiopia must end & unfettered humanitarian access restored urgently. https://t.co/5nB9zWWito
