#Ethiopia: HRW says ethnic cleansing persists in Western #Tigray despite peace deal, urges federal gov’t to enforce accountability https://t.co/lfe1eePH8q
#HRW said its research found that two officials, Col. Demeke Zewdu & Belay Ayalew, who were previously implicated in abuses, continue to be involved in arbitrary detention, torture, & forced deportations of #Tigrayans, and urged for investigation of serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law to be conducted.
Concerted effort by the regime to stop investigation into atrocities in Tigray & beyond. Having seen that it can get away with blockade, denial of humanitarian aid and shutdown of services & even use them as leverage for negotiation, it now tries to stop ICHREE investigation.
Ethiopia is hosting #IGF2022, joining stakeholders to discuss pressing digital rights initiatives, including “connecting all people.”
Meanwhile, a northern part of the region, #Tigray, remains disconnected via a two-yearlong #InternetShutdown:

On 09 Nov 2022, the Amhara authorities took out thousands of ethnic Tigrayan men from multiple concentration camps in Western Tigray, where they have been languishing for two 2 years, loaded them onto trucks, and took them to an unknown destination.

Tigray will be debated in the House of Lords on Tuesday. I will press the Government to explain why humanitarian aid isn’t getting through, what’s being done to end Eritrean incursions and to bring to justice those responsible for shocking atrocities https://t.co/9acOk0Xucl
Killing, kidnapping & shelling around shire & AdiDaero #Tigray continues by #Eritrean forces. There is flock of Eritrean civilians including women on a looting mission as spotted today at Shire. After curfew & they do all evil things in darknes. Albeit signed CoH @MikeHammerUSA
#Eritrean forces are on a massive looting, killing & destruction campaign including destroying crop lands & burning piled grasses in many areas throughout Tigray. This is happening after a permanent cessation of hostilities has been signed a week a go at #Pretoria@_AfricanUnion
Ein verwundeter Soldat der TDF: "Wir zogen in den Kampf, um unserem Volk Frieden zu bringen. [...] Der Feind hat meine Brüder abgeschlachtet und meine Schwestern vergewaltigt. Wie kann ich sie hereinlassen und ihnen in die Augen blicken? [...]" #Tigray

former Ethiopian Minister @1_filsan tells @nickschifrin she found that her own gov't was behind a huge number of atrocities in Tigray, "absolutely horrendous...including systematic rape of women and girls"..signaling complications even after new ceasefire in civil war @NewsHour
Today marks 2 years since horrific violence began in Ethiopia against Tigrayans. I and the @Greens support the recently announced ceasefire and will continue to fight alongside the people of #Tigray as they work for a peaceful future ✊💚
"When I was a minister, senior officials obfuscated and lied, and tried to omit any mention of rape by the government and Eritrean forces from the official investigation. The government focused on propaganda," writes #Ethiopia's former minister @1_filsan. https://t.co/Jw4Vfik2WP
Äthiopien & Eritrea kennen in ihrem Vernichtungswahn in #Tigray längst keine Grenzen mehr. Vor den Augen der @UN wird das Volk hingemetzelt. Was tut @IntlCrimCourt, um die Tigrayer vor den Massakern der äthiopischen & eritreischen Truppen zu beschützen?

"My professional assessment is clear: progressive acts of genocide are being perpetrated by the governments and agents of the States of Ethiopia and Eritrea against Tigrayans."

BBC Factcheck: Satellite image comparison of 1 Feb 2022 & 1 Oct 2022 of #AdiDaero shows clearly visible damage to a residential neighborhood. The bombing by Eritrean Jet on a Meskel Holiday killed many non-combatants #TigrayGenocide. Ethiopia took credit

Unfortunately, the situation has only gotten worse in recent weeks, with an escalating joint offensive by #Ethiopia and #Eritrea forces against #Tigrayan rebels that has put the local populations at further risk.

While some media outlets internationally are recognizing the scale of the horrors in #Ethiopia and drawing attention to them, much of the world seems in the dark about it.
