Irob Ethnic Minority Suffering Under Eritrean Occupation
Eyasu Misgna—administrator of #Tigray's Irob district—says that the Eritrean army occupies 60% of the district. Aid groups have been unable to deliver aid as the road connecting Irob to Adigrat is blocked by the Eritreans.
On this day 4 years ago, 2 december 2020, Eritrean Defence Forces killed 20 civilians (19 youngsters and 1 old man) at the Goda Glass Company in Gunguna, some 20 km south of #Adigrat. No investigations took place - nobody was brought to justice. We will never forget!
Candlelight vigil in Maryam Dengelat this evening to remember the victims of the massacre that took place 4 years ago and in which 165 innocent men, women and children were killed by Eritrean troops. We will never forget! #MaryamDengelat#JusticeForTigrayGenocide

International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant for war crime of starvation and crimes against humanity. Why not against Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed and Eritrean President Isayas Afwerki? Did they not kill far more people? @UN @EUinEthiopia
On this day four years ago Eritrean and Ethiopian troops took control of #Adigrat. In the following days, many shops and factories were looted and hundreds of civilians were killed. Up to this day, nobody has been held accountable for these war crimes. We will never forget!
On their pastoral visit to #Tigray, #Ethiopia, Irish bishops met conflict survivors in displacement camps - women & children are most affected - & witnessed transformative projects backed by #Trócaire’s Ethiopian Catholic Church partners
Please pray for peace & support @trocaire 🌍
"I can wash and quench my thirst with clean water."
@ICRC installed pumps, generator, 600-meter pipelines, water tanks & two stand posts to restore the water supply system destroyed during the conflict.
This will benefit the people of Zala-Ambessa, East zone, #Tigray region.
Great to visit this morning a Poultry Project in Adigrat supported by @trocaire one of seventy similar projects where twenty Rhode Island Red hens lay 17 eggs a day offering income and a sense of self sufficiency where the trader now has a small concrete cavity block business @KANDLEi@CatholicNewsIRL
A powerful welcome to Adigrat on the third day of the trip with @trocaire to see projects they support and partner, super to stay with a community who continue to show tremendous resilience, later we visited an IDP Camp for Internally Displaced People - everywhere we go these days we see the gospel lived and modelled @KANDLEi@CatholicNewsIRL
