Without the internet, people in Tigray and across Ethiopia can’t talk with their loved ones. Learn more ⬇️ #ReconnectTigray#KeepItOn
Less than 24 hours after signing an immediate cessation of hostilities, credible reports are emerging that #Ethiopia has conducted aerial bombings of three towns in #Tigray: Entichew, Maichew, and Adigrat. There’s additional ground fighting in northern and southern Tigray.
Ethiopian soldiers torching an entire town in #Tigray. Eritrean soldiers too are massacring civilians, raping and looting in the areas they invaded. The international community should take action before it’s too late.

1. Additional Eritrean 🇪🇷 troops are deployed to Shire starting from yesterday night. The plea for help is disturbing and I don’t even know what to say anymore. We are not faced with humans who have a bit of empathy. We demand #EritreaOutOfTigray

Amnesty confirmed #Eritrea’s forces extrajudicially killed at least 40 people in Sheararo of #Tigray between 06 and 12 September 2022.
Per my sources, the extrajudicial executions have extended to large areas of the central zone, eastern and northwest zones of the state.
Due to the siege in #Tigray, Ethiopia, many people have died of starvation, man made famine & lack of access to essential health care in past 2 years. Many dying incl, Children due to daily carpet bombing by Eritrean and Ethiopian forces. We need peace & safe humanitarian access.
