“…Tigrayans across the country are under even more pressure even as they seek to speak out about alleged war atrocities & send aid to Tigray as hundreds of thousands of people face the world’s worst famine crisis in a decade…”. @SecBlinken https://t.co/bpPf6fAVjD

We are alarmed by @UNDPEthiopia and @IOMEthiopia on their enabling role of authoritarian government that waged a genocidal war on its people. For the record, On 11 March 2021,@GlobalGsts wrote its concern on the @UNDP's extremely biased and hostile confidential Note to the UN SG.
@antonioguterres 9 WFP aid trucks were blocked from reaching Tigray❕It is not “all parties” that committed this heinous act. It is the Amhara regional government with the support of Eritrean govt & @AbiyAhmedAli! Stop appeasing to war criminals. Would you have said the same to Hitler/Mussolini?!
Abiy’s security chief Temesgen Tiruneh ( known by his hate towards Tigrayans) keeps closing Tigrayan businesses. 👇 A very popular traditional restaurant “Azmara Shiro” in Addis Ababa is being shut today.
The shift from being called Ethiopians at the beginning of the genocidal war to now being addressed as Tigrayans by the international community makes me so happy. Everytime I hear or read “Tigrayans”, I get so excited. THATS MY PEOPLE!
The @mfaethiopia that I worked 4 nearly 2 decades has decided to abruptly close dozens of Embassies & recall many diplomats. Possible reasons:
-acute foreign currency shortage following the genocidal war on #Tigray
- failure of Ethiopia’s diplomatic leverage
- lesson from Eritrea
No army admits defeat. But the Abiy/ENDF denial has a remarkable new angle:
"We lost because the people of Tigray turned against us."
The lamest and dumbest excuse ever given by a vanquished side to explain a defeat.
Wow. Ethiopia is amazing.
Journalists have been facing increasing threats of arrest and violence in #Ethiopia🇪🇹 since the start of the war in #Tigray. The country is taking a real step backward in terms of press freedom and the right to information
