Spoke directly to @POTUS#Biden today regarding potential genocide in #Tigray. He is very well aware of the situation and is open to hear my ideas on how to respond, particularly to pressure #Eritrea to withdraw troops.
For 39 days Eritrean, Ethiopian forces backed by ethnic militias have been trying to seize control of Tigray.
TDF not only put up stiff resistance, but inflicted massive damage on enemy troops and armour.

Secret talks between Abiy and TPLF in Djibouti on ceasefire have hit a deadlock.
Original plan was for Abiy to declare ceasefire on Ethiopian New Year (Sunday).
There is good reason to believe OLA account of Tola/Gimbi massacre - in which over 200 civilians massacred.

Disappointed that journalists continue to lose their right to report in Ethiopia. An open and free press play a critical role in democracy. We urge Ethiopia to protect and uphold #MediaFreedom

We have heard that the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights is announcing her report on human rights abuses in Tigray.Whatever its ‘findings’, the report is fraught with a number of problems. First, the investigation didn’t cover all of the heinous crime spots in Tigray. Second,
A broad-based coalition of alternative political forces is the way to go. The just-announced #TDF/#OLA political/military alliance is a giant first step and not the last. All historically marginalized communities should coalesce around the sacred notion of 'sovereign nations'.
#UNICEF has a lot of explaining to do why they came up with a statement that’s being used by #AbiyAhmed to cast aspersions on the integrity of our forces in #GalicomaAfar. While it is natural that they respond to such allegations as promptly as they could, checking the facts on
While our forces did thwart the offensive and returned to their camps since, it is not entirely implausible to suspect that #AbiyAhmed would stop at nothing to implicate our forces including putting children in danger. #TheGovernmentofTigray will work with relevant bodies
