Actually, Amhara activists have seemed more active in articulating historical claims to area than Tigrayan counterparts. Tigrayan arguments don't focus on 'historical ownership', as instead ethno-linguistic demographics was basis for FDRE admin boundaries

*If* passed, Congress in driving seat on 🇪🇹 aid policy
But, 🇺🇸 et al already suspended devt aid (inc @ IMF/WB) cos blockade, atrocities, no peace effort
So, Addis' real prob is advancing peace enough for 🇺🇸 et al to unfreeze - & do so w/out big backlash

“Amnesty Int. @amnesty & Human Rights Watch @hrw have documented a pattern of violations of international human rights and international humanitarian law in #WesternTigray carried out as part of a campaign of “ethnic cleansing.” #TigrayGenocide@PamelaFalk@_AfricanUnion
I silently scream as warm tears race down my cheeks watching my people killed. I have wounds that shall never heal. Dreams of peace that had already ceased have completed vanished. Watching my people be eaten away by fresh fire; watching them, my heart burned to ashes with them💔
In Jan 2022, @hrw identified 2 detention sites where thousands of Tigrayans were being mistreated and forcibly disappeared, the sites were identified via satellite imagery + witness accounts. KSA is preparing to deport Tigrayans again. #TigrayGenocide#RefugeesNeedHelp@Refugees
Tigrayans are still under govts blockade, waiting for humanitarian aid. Six days after announcing humanitarian truce, not a single aid truck has received security clearance to pass to Tigray. Instead, 🇪🇹 & 🇪🇷 forces & Amhara militias r amassing on Tigray borders @SenatorMenendez
