What Ethiopians Did to Tigray Must Never Be Forgotten
Those calling for federal intervention in #Tigray should remember what its army was doing. In this 2022 footage, ENDF soldiers torture and taunt a young man before killing him, saying, “Don’t kill him, we want him to suffer.”

#Ethiopia: More than 330 IDPs reported dead in #Hitsats, 125 in #Adwa as coordinators warn of worsening humanitarian crisis
At least 333 internally displaced persons (#IDPs) have died at the Hitsats center in Tigray since May 2025 due to hunger and lack of medicine, while in Adwa 125 people have died since October 2025.
DPs and camp officials told Addis Standard that shrinking humanitarian assistance and continued new arrivals are pushing already vulnerable communities into what they describe as a life-threatening crisis, intensifying pressure on limited resources.
Displaced residents and coordinators in Hitsats say the situation has further worsened, with rising fatalities, disease outbreaks, and reduced humanitarian support.
“To speak of the conditions in Hitsats, one must see it with their own eyes,” said Abrha Mebrahtom, coordinator of the Hitsats IDP center. “Though there were good starts previously, they have now ceased. People are wasting away; people are dying.”
“We want to return to our homes,” Tekle said, warning of growing concern as the rainy season approaches and calling for observers to witness conditions firsthand.
The Commission of Inquiry on #Tigray Genocide (#CITG) cited findings from its August 2025 assessment of 92 IDP centers, including Hitsats. According to the Commission, 325 deaths occurred at Hitsats during the assessment period, primarily due to lack of food, medical care, and other basic necessities

Tigray is once again under siege—fuel access has been reduced to near-zero, effectively creating a blockade, while banking services, medical supplies, and food assistance remain severely restricted. The situation is almost like 2020. The death toll is a direct result of this.

Never forget. Ethiopians (Tigrayans) were the ones who have been exposing UAE's role in the Horn of Africa first. This was before the war in Sudan. The inaction of the international community and the Arab world vis-à-vis the genocide in Tigray emboldened MBZ to become worse.
The Ethiopian govt spends so much resources and effort to fight its own people and consistently fails to dedicate adequate resources to education them.
They are mortgaging their children’s future to fund wars of the past.

For the children of Tigray today, school is more than education, with so many experiencing trauma from the war and the siege, it is a kind of therapy.
Teachers cannot teach when they don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Their courageous work should be honored.

The Tigray Regional Education Bureau is trying to keep children in school, but with no federal budget, they cannot pay teachers regularly or address the 16 months of back pay owed to them.
They asked for advocacy and emergency financial support.

🚨 The impact of the Ethiopian Govt’s economic strangulation of #Tigray continues.
Two days ago the Health Bureau raised the alarm. Now it’s the Education bureau.
Fed. budget subsidy has been withheld since Oct/25, threatening the education of child genocide survivors.

#Tigray Education Bureau Warns of School Closures Amid Funding Crisis
----
Mekelle, March 9, 2026 (Tigray Mass Media Agency) Tigray Bureau of Education warns that a severe funding crisis is threatening the fragile recovery of Tigray’s education system and could lead to widespread school closures.
In a letter addressed to partners including National Education Cluster, Tigray Education Cluster, the FDRE Ministry of Education, Ethiopia Disaster Risk Management Commission, and Tigray Disaster Risk Management Commission, the bureau of education in Tigray says the federal government withholds Tigray’s constitutionally allocated budget subsidy since October 2025, leaving Tigray unable to regularly pay teachers’ salaries.
The bureau states that the situation compounds an existing backlog of about 16 months of unpaid wages, pushing educators and their families into severe hardship and increasing the risk of disruptions to schooling.
According to the bureau, Tigray’s education sector already suffers extensive damage during the 2020–2022 war, which leads to school closures lasting more than three and a half years, destruction of infrastructure, loss of teaching personnel, and significant learning gaps among students.
Although some recovery takes place through support from international partners and the Tigrayan diaspora such as partial reconstruction of schools, provision of learning materials, and teacher retraining, the bureau warns that the progress now faces the risk of reversal.
The bureau stresses that the withholding of funds undermines children’s right to education under international frameworks such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 on quality education.
In its appeal, the bureau calls on international partners to advocate for the immediate release of Tigray’s allocated federal budget and to provide emergency financial support to cover teacher salaries, school operations, and essential learning resources.
The bureau notes that such support helps prevent immediate school closures and sustains educational continuity for millions of children in the Tigray.
🚨An Emergency Appeal from #Tigray's Bureau of Health (@TigrayRHB)
To avoid "imminent operational collapse", they need fuel, medicine, and funding.
There have been no refills of essential meds in 2026 and no fuel since Jan. Docs got 1/2 salary in Dec 2025, nothing since.

Her name is Arsema Yemane, an Orthodox Christian from Tigray.
She was killed inside the church she served in November 2020 in a war led by Abiy Ahmed, the Evangelical PM of Ethiopia, a regime financed by the UAE.
She is one of the faces of Tigray Genocide. Learn about it!
Concerning new reports of Eritrean soldiers infiltrating Ethiopia through the Sudanese town of Hamdayet dressed as civilians and also crossing disguised as Ethiopian soldiers via Tigray border with large numbers starting to gather in Mekelle. Anyone care? https://t.co/w9eXpvGDI0
Confirmation of our report about transporting RSF mercenaries from Chad to Asosa via Bole airport. Imam glad @flyethiopian has not suspended this flight and should never repeat it.
