It’s very unfortunate that the civil war and carnage in Sudan have continued unabated. The suffering of civilians is quite unimaginable. The situation has been further deteriorating very recently. As a home to tens of thousands of refugees from Tigray and also of other parts of Ethiopia, we are particularly concerned that the war theatre is coming dangerously close to refugee camps in eastern Sudan- to #Tenedba and #Umrakuba, among others. While the humanitarian situation in those camps has always been dire, the growing proximity of the actual fighting to those areas has made it even more unsettling. It is therefore imperative that regional players with influence on the warring parties as well as the international community at large exert pressure on both sides to immediately halt fighting and protect civilians as best they can. It’s also incumbent upon the government of the FDRE to do whatever it takes to end the suffering of Ethiopian refugees.
I wish all #Tigray a blessed #Ashenda celebrations. The resilient and corageous girls and women og Tigray are a role model of the rest of the world - standing tall despite all challenges. Keep up the spirit!

Why is the fate of #Tigray POWs still unknown months after #Ethiopia truce. Isn’t @ICRC able to discharge its mandate as in #Ukraine? Say something…https://t.co/PQWI3JCN7v via @AJEnglish

#Tigrayan civilians continue to face a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign by Amhara militias according to @HRW's recent report. The U.S. must take swift and decisive action to sanction those responsible, as I told Secretary Yellen at today’s @FSCDems hearing.
#NewsAlert: #US determines #Ethiopian, #Eritrean & #Amhara forces committed crimes against humanity in #Tigray; war crimes committed by all sides https://t.co/4JwTx2OoZp “Many of these crimes were not random, or a mere byproduct of war, they were calculated & deliberate” Blinken
EXCLUSIVE: Hundreds of Tigrayans were massacred days before peace deal in the Ethiopian civil war. Eritrean soldiers went door to door slaughtering villagers over the course of a week last fall, killing at least 300 people. From @khoureld and @mmkelly22 https://t.co/V4NV7Wt7sM
Eritrean soldiers still control more than a dozen towns across Tigray, where they have continued to kill and abduct civilians and block aid for millions of people, @WSJ reports. Aid workers say the soldiers have carried out rights abuses this month. https://t.co/sG1HAeEXBC
In Axum, TDF were told to disarm and go to their families. When they returned back to their homes, the ENDF are taking them to detention centers. Why are the heavy machinery TDF personnel being detained in unknown places with no communication with their family & disappeared?
Last week I too found out my uncle was killed in the Adi-Daero bombardment while trying to flee from one house to another. We also found out that many of my grandmothers family were murdered in cold blood by Eri troops. My uncle fought for Eritrea independence. Left 4 children.
Last weekend, I found out that my uncle was murdered by #Eritrean army in his own house. It is another painful loss for my family due to the ongoing violence in #Tigray, Ethiopia. Peace is all the people and families need.
