Would you mind looking at man-made disasters, perhaps?

[UK in Ethiopia 🇬🇧 @UKinEthiopia]

As 🇪🇹 works to strengthen the resilience of communities to climate shocks, @kirstyjmcneill Minister for Development and Africa, saw how the @FCDOGovUK and our partners are supporting the Government of Ethiopia to reach those most affected.

TPLF may think it is containing a problem or maybe protecting someone from their network by letting one or two people walk free. But it is releasing a genie it cannot put back in the bottle.

[Omna Tigray @OmnaTigray]

A new warning from the @NewlinesInst: the risk of renewed genocidal violence in #Tigray is rising.

The international community cannot claim it was unaware. It must act now to prevent further atrocities, protect civilians, and hold perpetrators accountable.

An Ethiopian government drone strike hit a school in Tigray, destroying a World Bank-supported ICT center serving children. Education in Tigray has been targeted for years. The World Bank and international community must halt non-humanitarian funding to Ethiopia until these attacks end.

[Omna Tigray @OmnaTigray]

Ethiopia receives international funding for food, education, and development while its government funds drones that bomb schools. Where are these resources coming from? The @WorldBankGroup and international partners must halt all non-humanitarian funding, investigate financial flows, and demand an end to the attacks.

I dearly hope these EU embassies see this and react.

[Cameron Hudson @_hudsonc]

"A renewed military confrontation in Tigray...would be devastating for the people of Northern Ethiopia." The EU is grossly under-estimating the scale of devastation that will result in a new conflict in Tigray. It wont be limited to Tigray for even one day. Instead, it will explode into a multi-country war drawing in Sudan, Eritrea, Egypt, Somalia, not to mention other Gulf states in some form, that will devastate the entire region, including unleashing new conflicts across the rest of Ethiopia. EU embassies need to get more serious about their diplomacy or start updating their evacuation plans now.

[Sébãwĭ @Sebawyan]

The target of @AbiyAhmedAli is the people of Tigray, the children of Tigray.

👇🏽 are the witnesses.

Bombing and destroy a school is not just destroying a building; it is destroying children’s future.

@RAbdiAnalyst @YouTube Impressive? Can you pinpoint what was impressive in it?

[Nanou @CathDom1]

EU and US desperately clinging to what they think is a 'comfort zone'? Or just dumb?

[Kjetil Tronvoll @KjetilTronvoll]

It seems that @EUinEthiopia + 3 are not updated about the situation in Ethiopia. CoHA/Pretoria is dead - what Ethiopia /PP, Tigray /TPLF, Amhara / Fano & Oromia / OLA need is a comprehensive peace negotiating process addressing the root causes of conflict in the country.

[Nanou @CathDom1]

WHAT A JOKE. Ethiopia (or its leaders, rather) is (are) too secretly ashamed to publish food security data (or annoyed? I don't know, but surely calleous when it comes to people's lives)... but ask Ethiopians, not their (former or current) leaders if they all have enough FOOD.

[Charles Onyango-Obbo @cobbo3]

Ethiopia is now largely self-sufficient in food. However, not too long ago, it was a country ravaged by famine and reliant on international aid. Illustrating just how dependent Ethiopia was on food aid during that period, Hailemariam Desalegn (who served as Prime Minister from 2012 to 2018) told an Africa School of Government forum in Kigali on Tuesday that the joke used to be: "Ethiopians prayed for rain in Canada, because that is where the food aid came from." Dramatic indeed!

[Nanou @CathDom1]

Must indeed. Where's the learning from 2020? Don't let it be too late again! It's already VERY late.

[Lord (David) Alton @DavidAltonHL]

Reports from Tigray of drone attacks in Mekelle as concern mounts about escalating violence. International community must engage and not look away @Ed_Miliband @StewartWood @kirstyjmcneill @UN @martinplaut https://t.co/gtB7FEFABg

[Yohannes Abraha @johniabraha]

The silence of the diplomatic community in Ethiopia and beyond is mind boggling.
@USEmbassyAddis @EUinEthiopia @UKinEthiopia your host is targeting civilians and bombing children in #Tigray.
#TigrayGenocide

[Nanou @CathDom1]

It's not dropped out of Fewsnet's lack of interest, but the Ethiopian government actively blocking the release of any data which doesn't fit with the prosperity narrative. I don't know for the other countries.

[Lauren Blanchard @LaurenBinDC]

A review of @FEWSNET's latest reports appears to confirm Devex reporting that the USG-funded famine early warning network has stopped publicly reporting on food insecurity in Somalia, Yemen & Afghanistan. Ethiopia also appears to have dropped from their global report.

[Abel Abate Demissie @Abele_a]

Stories from the two state media giants in #Egypt and #Ethiopia just in the past two days. Guess it’s that season now.

[Martin Kimani @AmbMKimani]

Congratulations Luis. The region urgently needs your skill, temperament, and your deep rooted faith that differences can be mediated and lives saved

[Nanou @CathDom1]

Sudan, the forgotten war but not by Sudanese, for sure. A war so atrocious that even battle-hardened mercenaries, men whose life is about fighting without asking why, found it atrocious... This is a deeply upsetting, but indispensable read.

[Katharine Houreld @khoureld]

My piece on the Colombian mercenaries - and their paymasters in the Emirates - is out as the cover story of the Financial Times magazine today. It's the culmination of months of interviews and data tracking with @just1nlynch https://t.co/DRslTYCOws

[Nanou @CathDom1]

This is an absolute must-read. For the depth of its account of Sudan's trajectory and why it's where it is; and the (entirely justified) ferocity with which Magdi El-Gizouli unpacks the role of external actors in this trajectory and Sudan's current state of affairs.
