This is scary.
The impacts of the El Niño are real, and farmers in war-torn #Tigray are already seeing them. The fields should have been lush green by now, but as you can see from the post below, drought has taken hold, and famine is on its way.
“We know this support does not come from people who simply have extra to give.”
A message of gratitude from internally displaced families in Tigray to the diaspora. They know your sacrifices. They know many of you work long hours, far from home, to make this support possible.
Their gratitude is immense, but so is the need. Many shared that, after a year of waiting, they still have not received the support they were promised and continue to struggle for the most basic necessities.
Please continue to stand with the people of Tigray and urge the international community to ensure displaced families receive the assistance they desperately need.
Please support them by signing the letter and urging your members of congress to act and donating to the project.

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
A message to @ProfKindeya and @reda_getachew from Mulugeta Gebrehiwot, one of the few who could see what's happening with clear mind.
Tigray doesn't deserve more war, and is in no position to wage one.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

@AJHeadtoHead@mehdirhasan Very good conversation with Getachew Reda. Tough questions were asked, but for those who understand the difficult position he is in, he handled it with grace! Ethiopia needs politicians like @reda_getachew who sacrifice their pride to create an alternative path for their people.
"We have failed them miserably...that I will carry to my grave."
– Ethiopian politician Getachew Reda on his role in the Tigray war
