An excellent piece on US Foreign Policy and ways forward for the Ethiopian government by @FitseChilada

The Ethiopian govt should be held accountable for its gross negligence, which caused unimaginable suffering to ethnic Amharas living in Oromia region. It is not too late to avert more bloodshed & human suffering in #Welega. Act now & protect civilians in Welega. @AbiyAhmedAli
Using every incident past & present in Ethiopia as an excuse to commit barbaric acts of ethnic cleansing on Amhara particular in Oromia should be stopped. There are people in power facilitating this must be accountable. This has to stop!! @PMEthiopia@ShimelisAbdisa
The silence of the Federal govt while thousands of Amharas were forcefully displaced from their homes & hundreds were massacred with impunity in #Welega is a dereliction of duty. Govt must protect civilians & bring the culprit to justice. @AbiyAhmedAli@ShimelisAbdisa
The ppl of Afar have been sounding the alarm for weeks now. They warned fed gov. Here we’re now, TPLF has invaded Afar. The fed gov can’t play politics on innocent lives. It survived b/c the ppl of Afar defended Ethiopia.
Defend Afar! #ActNow#NoMore
TPLF blocked humanitarian aid to Tigray coming thru Afar & Amhara to justify its expansionist war. It is deploying the same tactic by attacking Afar & once again blocking humanitarian aid. #NoMore@ZainAsher@LarryMadowo@MelissaFleming@katie_polglase @VOA_Wandera @WFPChief
The GoE’s silence as TPLF aggressors invade & kill in Afar region is alarming. We can’t give the gov the benefit of doubt while civilians are being shelled.
Responsible citizenship requires accountability & transparency from Gov.
Silence isn’t an option. #NoMore@FdreService
Ethiopians deserve & indeed yearn for peace like any other people. That's why they don’t like their gov negotiating with a terrorist organization. Ethiopians are aware peace cannot be achieved by compromising to a terrorists. #NoMore@PMEthiopia@_AfricanUnion@AUC_MoussaFaki
How many people in Afar must die before the federal government acts?
It’s one thing not to chase TPLF into Tigray but a whole another to relinquish responsibility by letting TPLF wage war deep into another region.

#TPLFMustPay for its crimes against humanity committed in Amhara & Afar. Its leadership can’t be behind a negotiating table; they must be behind bars. TPLF businesses like EFFORT shall be seized & be used as a Reparation in the reconstruction effort. #NoMore

Ethiopians removed TPLF from the center of power through a popular movement, fought a brutal 14 months war. All to end hate, ethnic domination & brutality. They won’t let it happen to them again. No entity can survive through hate. TPLF should serve as an example. #NoMore
Negotiations with TPLF have never borne fruits for multiple parties in the past; the alleged backdoor negotiations with TPLF will have serious setbacks to Ethiopia. We urge the government to be responsible for its citizens. #NoMore#transparencyNOW

TPLF invaded & occupied Abala & Magale to pursue its Greater Tigray Ambition. The regional gov. of Afar is forced to appeal to IC to pressure TPLF to stop military incursion as @AbiyAhmedAli’s govt has shown no urgency to these attacks.
#AfarUnderAttack#NoMore@FdreService
The GoE needs to stop fiddling with the lives of innocent Afar civilians & ACT NOW! While the federal government is holding back, for whatever reason, it's totally unacceptable, legally & morally, to let Afar fight an Ethiopian war all by itself. @PMEthiopia@AbiyAhmedAli#NoMore
The federal gov’s inaction is emboldening TPLF in Afar. Innocent people are murdered & displaced. Poorly armed militia are left defending ALL of Ethiopia.
Are we waiting for repeat of March to Addis? What does it take to respond to aggression?
