We, unfortunately, continue to witness egregious cases of inhumanity, brutality & vengeance. No words could suffice to denounce it. With blanket endorsements of barbarism & externalisation by people like Berhanu Nega, it’s not entirely clear when such madness would end (1/2)
On 21 and 28 October 2022, the Subcommittee on International Human Rights to the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development in Canada held meetings on the human rights situation in the Tigray. Full statement provided below. https://t.co/bFnVAiCKT3
Human Rights Abuses in Tigray Need Global Action
Last week marked the 2 year anniversary of the #Axum massacre in the #Tigray region of #Ethiopia,where #Eritrean forces killed hundreds of Tigrayans in 24 hours.

#ED-REAP has been an unfailing partner at all times for MU in general & ayder in particular. This recent one would mean a lot in saving lives. We can not thank them enough @ProfMulugeta
Regarding #Tigray. @DrMikeRyan said, "[the] peace process has not yet resulted in the kinds of full, unfettered access and in the massive scale of medical and health assistance that the people of Tigray need." #PeaceForHealth
.@washingtonpost "around 83 prisoners were dead & another score missing... Some were shot by their guards, others hacked to death by villagers who taunted the soldiers about their Tigrayan ethnicity... Bodies were dumped in a mass grave by the prison gate"

A TDF fighter from the frontline of Mai Kinetal and Nebelet writes about what he is seeing. Eritrean troops are systematically looting cattle, burning and vandalizing crops and beehives, all while insulting the idly-watching ENDF with derogatory slurs. 1/n

Why is #Eritrea so much tolerated? Committing genocide in #Tigray for 2 years with impunity? Even now, when there is a possibility to make peace, Eritrea continues not only undermining the peace initiative, but also committing crimes. #TigrayGenocide@MikeHammerUSA@JosepBorrellF
This story about the horrible massacre of Tigrayan prisoners shows why the path to peace in Ethiopia requires that those on all sides who have committed gross human rights abuses must be held accountable and brought to justice.

“By sunset the next day, around 83 prisoners were dead and another score missing. Some were shot by their guards, others hacked to death by villagers who taunted the soldiers about their Tigrayan ethnicity, prisoners said” @washingtonpost https://t.co/SrYgJTMR17
The Subcommittee of International Human Rights recently studied the situation in #Tigray.
Many experts stressed that what was happening meets the legal definition of genocide.

After two years of active state-led genocide & days into reports of a “peace agreement” between the TPLF & @AbiyAhmedAli’s regime, over 6 million Tigrayans are still faced with a humanitarian crisis of biblical proportion.
There are issues that need to be explained on the CoH. We hear all concerns. Rest assured: GoT will explain & speculations won't help. We are fighting as a people against #TigrayGenocide & there is no way to compromise it! We give peace a chance & there is no military solution!
As we mark the #2YearsOfTigrayGenocide, we’ll host Twitter Space on Sun, Nov 6 starting at 6PM EST to discuss the two year toll of the genocidal war on the indigenous minority of #Irob.
Moderators:
@atiryashak@CassidySeyoum@rowenakahsay
We’ll have invited guest speakers.⬇️
Today, Eritrean forces are on a house-to-house search in #Adwa, looting any vehicle they find. These forces have been commiting heinous crimes, vandalising & looting properties of #Tigray for 2 yrs. Aiming to continue those attrocities, they are fighting hard to reach #Adigrat.
On this sombre 2nd year genocidal war waged by Abiy and Isayas of Ertriea, we Tigrayans shouldn't for a second stop being a voice for our suffering people, but strengthen our unity, commitment and sense of purpose.
Until justice is served!
