Meet Beti Eyasu (@betieyasu_), the brave woman who confronted the Ethiopian Catholic Cardinal who blessed Ethiopian & Eritrean soldiers to commit genocide in #Tigray.
Thank you Beti!
During visit of EU Spec Rep @EUSR_Weber, talks with dy PM @DemekeHasen on EU’s gradual approach: 1. full humanitarian access; 2. ceasefire & withdrawal of foreign troops; 3. Accountability. All 27 EU Foreign Ministers with @JosepBorrellF will soon discuss situation in #Ethiopia.
One should never give up pursuing negotiations to settle #armed#conflicts to reach #peace. But when #EU’s «gradual approach» to #Ethiopia#war & #humanitarian access to starving #Tigray has failed to deliver any traction after 1 year trying, when will z plan be revised? @eu_eeas
I was invited to co-host a reception for Ethiopian Finance Minister Ahmed Shide and Ethiopian Ambassador Fitsum Arega.
I declined. I will not break bread with a Minister of a government that has used a food blockade to kill thousands of civilians.

I raised #Tigray with @SecBlinken. The government of Ethiopia and Eritrea are starving people. He promised to make public a determination regarding genocide of Tigrayan people. (1/2)

No, there is no problem among religions in Ethiopia. It’s the regime’s political (ab)use of religion that’s wreaking havoc in the country. It’s the regime’s unscrupulous repudiation of the constitutional principle of secularism (Art11) that led us here.
Thank so much @#wallacemick for being a voice for millions of #Tegaru and #Tigray !!!
It means a lot to us what you have been doing for the last two years
The terrible Humanitarian Crisis in #Tigray continues - Why hasn't the #EU done more to pressure #AbiyAhmedAli into ending the persecution of the people of Tigray..? Are they afraid it might impact on future Trade arrangements with #Ethiopia ..? Do lives in Africa matter less...?
The hypocrisy & double standard of western officials: on the one hand they walkout of meeting including #G20 due to #Russia’s presence. Yet @vickyford is happy to stand next to a regime that caused 500k civilian deaths & implicated with #WarCrimes@hrw@amnesty@UKParliament

An estimated 2,000 trucks of food must enter Tigray every week to meet the region’s needs, a U.N. official said at a meeting in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, on Wednesday, according to the aid worker, who attended. AP
@USAmbUN Since the humanitarian truce was announced some 3+ weeks ago, 3200 trucks of aid were supposed to reach into #Tigray. The amount actually delivered was a mere 70 trucks (2.18% of the target). How is that a welcome news?
Unless z intl community lifts z embargo on people of #Tigray, TDF Heroes have z right 2 confront Dictator Afewerki's Sheabia army & Fano militias & also ENDF led by Colonel Abiy 2 break z siege Tigrayans haven't 1 option because, TDF withdrew from everywhere in respect of world
