🚨 The new #COP29 climate finance goal just dropped—$250B/year by 2035—and it's unacceptable.

❌ Falls far short of the trillions needed.
❌ No commitment to grants—just more debt.

It's time for justice, not loans. Watch, share, and join the call for real #ClimateFinance. The fight isn’t over yet.

Cry me a river! @SahleWorkZewde played a significant role in the #TigrayGenocide. Leveraging her experience, influence,& position, she secured diplomatic support from the @_AfricanUnion & other Int’l orgs, enabling her administration to commit war crimes against Tigrayans.

[Yacob @YacobMulugetta]

All the talk about blended finance and de-risking is to facilitate this flow of capital (subsidy) from the poorest to the richest.

The people of #Sudan feel forgotten amidst the spiralling violence across the country, where parties to the conflict are causing untold death and destruction. Support the protection of civilians in Sudan. Sign the petition to stop the flow of weapons now. https://t.co/IcksQIDto4

📌 I just confirmed that my friend @cherinet_ is detained at the headquarters of #Erhiopia federal police in Mexico Square, yesterday. (Please RT)

The reason for his detainment is unclear. Cherinet is in #Ethiopia to be part of an AU youth summit.

A young peace & refugees advocate, Cherinet Alem Hariffo is a strong voice to all vulnerable victims. He is known to be understanding of #Ethiopian government and its officials much more than many of us who are their critics. His detainment is unjustified.

We call upon all officials and notable leaders, who Cherinet has met and discussed many issues with to be calling for his release.

@EleniGabre All the while, the innocent people of Adwa continue to suffer at the hands of the very fascist regime privileged individuals like you continue to enable through their action and inaction.

Hypocrite!

Tigray - Prof Jan Nyssen describes in Dutch newspaper,Trouw, crop failures & the stoppage of food aid & how after war, Tigray faces famine. Tonight I raised this with Africa Minister @AndrewmitchMP who agrees without help there will be famine. @LordSpeaker https://t.co/uor8KIFvTf

Shame on #UNFAO

[Dagmawi M. Belay @dagmawi_belay]

A person who is responsible for starving more than 18 million of its citizens and covering up the looming famine crisis is awarded the 2024 FAO Agricola Medal 😮 . This must be the joke of the century. FAO director @FAODG you should be ashamed of yourself including the UN Secretary General @antonioguterres ! We are totally disgusted by your lack of decency and moral compass. The least you can do is take five minutes and make a quick research on facist @AbiyAhmedAli. UN and its subsidiary organizations are doing disservice to the globe. You can’t encourage death and destruction.

[Elham Ishmael ✍︎ @EIshmael_]

Shame on #FAO for awarding Abiy devil incarnate Ahmed the prestigious #FAO Agricola Medal. This is so wrong to award a genocidal PM who is killing his own people. Drought and conflict put 28 million in need.

[Tghat ትግሃት @TghatMedia]

Abiy Ahmed to receive the FAO  “Agricola medal” for his "outstanding contribution to food security".

Another dark day for the FAO and the whole UN system.

The @NobelPrize award heralded genocide and destruction. This one heralds starvation and famine.

[Martin Plaut @martinplaut]

Even as Ethiopians starve. What standards do these UN organisations follow?

[LDC Chair @LDCChairUNFCCC]

As we celebrate the adoption of the #LossAndDamage fund, join us at the LDC Pavilion at 6pm today to share our memories of Saleemul Huq and pay tribute to all that he did for the LDC Group and all vulnerable communities through his dedication in demanding climate justice #COP28

[Teresa Anderson @1TeresaAnderson]

"Hearing no objections it is so decided". The historic #LossAndDamage Fund is finally launched!

[Hailu Kebede @HailuKebede_]

People always speak about the temporary peace in parts of Tigray, while a 1/3+ of Tigray is still a living hell for Tigrayans there under enemy occupation & the IDP's.
Yes, our people need peace.
But, not a temporary; rather sustainable.
For sustainable peace justice is a must!!

[Mohamed Adow @mohadow]

My latest piece for @ClimateHome on the #AfricaClimateSummit and the 'disCREDITed' system of carbon credits that the Global North is trying to push on Africa.

But the African Carbon Market Initiative is a wolf in sheep's clothing...
