There is no other situation 🌍 in which 6 million people have been kept under siege for almost 2 years like in #Tigray, Ethiopia. This is a health crisis. I urge the intl. community to give this crisis the attention it deserves. There is a narrow window now to prevent genocide.

Urgent action is needed by #UNSC regarding #Tigray. As @CrisisGroup Co-chair, I fully adhere to this call for action and as President of @GWLvoices, I want to remind that women and girls have been the target of unspeakable crimes in this war. #UNSCActNow https://t.co/sNtoB9HnHx
Zoom in and look at the young faces. #Ethiopia has an entire army of children. Clearly Ethiopians hate Tigrayans but do they love their own children enough to stop sending them to die. #FreeTigray
#Tigray, #Eritrea, #Ethiopia
Eritrean forces took the food from @WFP storehouses in #Shire and #Sheraro. But, the @WFPChief has not yet issued a statement regarding the stealing of food. Is he siding with 🇪🇷n and 🇪🇹n govt? Before few weeks , @WFPChief said, *TPLF stole fuel*

Reports of areal bombardment in Adwa, #Tigray. Joint forces of #Eritrea and #Ethiopia are attacking civilians mercilessly in areas they managed to control. Rape, looting and destructions properties are back in full swing in Tigray cities and towns.
.@StateDept reported that both #Russia & #Ethiopia have illegally acquired drones from #Iran. While the US rightfully pledged to hold Russia accountable, a similar commitment must be made to bring Ethiopia to account as we work to end the #Tigray conflict.

While Eritrean-led invasion with #Ethiopia to #Tigray is carpet bombing cities & killing civilians, Govt of Tigray for a 3rd round released > 9400 #PoWs of #Ethiopia & #Eritrea. Suspected big criminals are kept! THE IRONY: their existence is still being denied by their regimes.
Utter destruction in #AdiDaero, #Tigray. Scenes that are eerily similar to Ukraine. An offensive that doesn't discriminate between legal targets and civilians.
In the face of such atrocity, one would expect global leaders to rally thier forces & come to the innocent victims’ rescue. Alas, such leaders' commitment to keeping genocidal @AbiyAhmedAli in power is more significant than protecting the lives he+cronies continue to cut short.
What was #Isaias thinking when he sent 5 divisions fully equipped with mechanized support to attack Tigray positions from Berahle? Whatever their intention, Divisions 22,30,38,61&67 have been successfully neutered with many senior commanders killed/captured. #TigrayWillPrevail!
The head of the WHO, @DrTedros, said he doesn’t know if his family in Ethiopia’s Tigray region is alive.
The region has been in a civil war since 2020.
He also suggested race could be why the crisis hasn’t gotten global attention like Ukraine.
Emboldened by the int’l community’s inaction in the face of a state-led genocidal mission, Eritrea is scaling up its attack on civilians across Tigray. In the last few days, it bombed the Adigrat city+its surroundings with heavy artillery, killing at least 5 people & wounding 14.
No food
No medicine
No telecommunications
No banking. All weaponised.
Bad enough that 6 million people of #Tigray have been sealed off from the world for 21 months & counting, but they are also victims of renewed aggression by Eritrean & Ethiopian forces. The siege & war must end
I called today for those responsible for bombing civilian population in #Tigray and weaponising #rape and #starvation to be brought to justice and renewed my call for the withdrawal of Eritrean militias. Tigray is Africa’s Ukraine.
Eritrean forces taking up offensive positions in #Rama, #Tserona, #Zalambessa and #Dallol fronts. They have been shelling the outskirts of #Adigrat the whole day. Our forces have for 2weeks now been fighting Eritrean & #AbiyAhmed’s forces in the western front.#TigrayShallPrevail!
