A day of profound pain and loss for us Tigrayans as we remember the #MaiKadraMassacre, which took place six years ago in #Tigray. Our hearts are with everyone grieving the innocent lives taken and with all those still waiting for justice.
We stand with those seeking truth, justice, and accountability. The Ethiopian and Eritrean troops who are responsible for these massacres must be held accountable.
We will remember those we lost, stand with one another, and continue to call for justice.

Today marks six years since the Adi Hageray Massacre.
Between November 11–18, 2020, an estimated 100–600 innocent civilians were brutally killed by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces in Adi Hageray, North-West Tigray.

On Nov. 21, 2021, at least 83 #Tigrayan active-duty members of #Ethiopia’s army were massacred at Mirab Abaya camp, Gamo zone, southern Ethiopia.
Thousands more were arbitrarily rounded up and held incommunicado across the country.

The largest incoming class of congressional progressives laid out its agenda, pledging to tackle rising living costs, expand healthcare and push back against immigration enforcement by ICE, while declaring the beginning of a new political era https://t.co/P8SXgXpBDd
4/5 The international community, humanitarian organizations, governments, donors, and the global Tigrayan diaspora must act. Tigray needs more than expressions of sympathy. It needs urgent, sustained humanitarian support.
3/5 🌾💧 Families need food, clean drinking water, agricultural support, and protection of their remaining livelihoods. Children, displaced families, farmers, and vulnerable communities cannot wait.
2/5 💔 Conflict has left communities struggling to rebuild their lives, restore livelihoods, and recover essential infrastructure. Now drought is compounding that suffering, leaving vulnerable families with even fewer resources to survive.
1/5 🚨 TIGRAY MUST NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
After years of devastating conflict, displacement, and destruction, #Tigray is facing another humanitarian emergency: severe drought and worsening food insecurity. Millions of lives are at risk.
Following the failures of the Guterres era, electing the Emirati Lana Nusseibeh as UNSG would be catastrophic.
Both tried to whitewash atrocities from #Tigray to #ElFashir.
The @UN might as well file for moral and institutional bankruptcy and close up shop.

A few weeks from now, analysts will argue:
#Ethiopia’s tactics may be unconventional, but #Eritrea should accept a concessionary lease on Assab for everyone's sake, backed by international guarantees against further Ethiopian demands.
Doubtful that would satisfy either side.
Tigray: A new study found 39.5% of 423 healthcare workers screened positive for probable PTSD. 82.7% reported inadequate medical equipment, 80.1% high workloads.
These are the people caring for a population who have been devastated by war.

Six years ago, the Ethiopian government branded the people of Tigray as enemies of all Ethiopians and called for their destruction and elimination. It dehumanized them as “snakes” and “daytime hyenas,” repeating language used against their parents. Such words were deeply harmful and threatening, and the people of Tigray deserved to live free from this hostility and fear. #Tigray_Genocide
“Our numbers were decreasing by the day… There was nothing to live for. We were not part of the town; other people took it over.” — Goitom, 42, Tigrayan farmer from Adi Goshu, Western Tigray. On 17 Jan 2021, Amhara Special Forces rounded up ~60 Tigrayan men and executed them at the Tekeze bridge. He escaped by fleeing to the forest. #TigrayGenocide #EthnicCleansing

Amnesty & Human Rights Watch documented a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing in Western Tigray: mass executions, rape, torture in detention, looting of farms & homes, language bans, and forced expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Tigrayans across the Tekeze River. These amount to crimes against humanity.
