When Ethiopia's Abiy Ahmed took office he promised a historic transition to democracy." Instead, "at the polls next week voters will be offered no real choice. Nor is there any reason to trust that [he] will step down after two terms, as he once promised." https://t.co/hoe95WFqqs
Ethiopia is about to hold another sham election. Real opposition parties face obstructions while fake opposition parties are allowed to flourish. https://t.co/F88ZAPXnrb
Pretoria’s Unfinished Peace Is Fueling Tigray’s New Crisis. "The AU presented the Pretoria Agreement as evidence that African diplomacy could end the continent’s deadliest wars. Over 3 years later, Tigray is still waiting for the promise to be fulfilled"

Here is an example of one of the fruits of @AbiyAhmedAli calls for violence against ethnic Tigrayans in Ethiopia. The making of #TigrayGenocide in Gonder.
"Tigrayans should be placed in concentration camps" the guy concludes and everyone around him cheers and ululates.
So @ICEgov sported this mofo to Ethiopia. As much as I agree them with the fact that he doesn’t deserve protection, I find it regrettable that his sent away to commit more atrocities.
ETHIOPIAN HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATOR, PARAMILITARY MEMBER & GENOCIDE INFLUENCER DEPORTED
Criminal illegal alien Solomon Bogale was denied immigration benefits and ultimately deported to Ethiopia March 5 by our Phoenix officers after ICE discovered numerous social media accounts where he openly identified himself as a member of Fano, a Tier III terrorist group.
Bogale’s posts called for persecution and violence against Tigrayans by “cleansing” them from Ethiopia.
Since 2003, ICE’s HSI-led Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center has deported 1,178 known or suspected human rights violators and war criminals.
Ethiopia is massing troops near Tigray amid PM Ahmed’s push to regain access to the Red Sea.
The last conflict in this region killed a stunning 600,000 people.
PM ABIY AHMED = DANGEROUS = INCOMPETENT = CORRUPT.
“They said anyone with Tigray blood should disappear, leave our land,” she recalls. “But if you tell them you are going to Tigray, they will kill you.” https://t.co/NVBDLWqMz8
Hey everyone - Its my birthday. Please let me talk to you for a moment about #Tigray. For those who don’t know, it is a region in Ethiopia that suffered a brutal war and occupation since 2020. Those who survived need your help.

Congratulations to all fellow Ethiopians on the inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam! Proud to be part of this groundbreaking milestone. We remember the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi for his vision and courage to start the project, and thank Prime Minister Abiy for completing it.
'Soldiers found us and told us to undress': In #Ethiopia, silence surrounds #Tigray war's mass rapes
During the war in Tigray, in Ethiopia, 120,000 women were victims of rape. More than two and a half years since the end of the conflict, many survivors are still trying to overcome their trauma, with justice yet to be served.
Nigist pulled out three beige linen patterns from a black plastic bag. Smiling broadly, she settled in front of a sewing machine. Her foot pressed the pedal, driving the needle to trace a white thread. "This is a skirt for a child. Just a few more hours of work, and it will be finished," she said, never taking her eyes off the small metal tip. The 17-year-old hails from western Tigray, a region of Ethiopia that rebelled against the central government. One morning in June 2023, she passed through the black gate of the Hiwyet center, whose name means "healing" in Tigrinya. "I had been on the road for months," she recounted with difficulty. "When I arrived, I was almost unable to speak, because of what happened to me along the way."
When armed men invaded her village in the Kafta Humera area of eastern Tigray, Nigist fled with other teenage girls. "We hid in a small wood, but soldiers found us. They told us to undress, but I resisted, I didn't want to. That's when they started hitting me, tearing off my clothes. I was raped by several of them. Then I fainted."
A few hours later, villagers took care of Nigist. "I washed myself in the river and they gave me clothes, because I had nothing left," she explained. "Then I fled to Mekele, and it was in the camp for displaced people that I heard about the Hiwyet center."

News: Murder of three aid workers in #Tigray by #Ethiopian army was “deliberate and targeted”: #MSF finding
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has concluded that the killing of its three staff members, María Hernández Matas, Tedros Gebremariam Gebremichael, and Yohannes Halefom Reda, in central Tigray on 24 June 2021 was a “deliberate and targeted attack,” confirming the presence of an Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) convoy in the area at the time of the killing.
In a report released today following a lengthy internal review, MSF Spain President Paula Gil stated, “This was not the result of crossfire, nor was it a tragic mistake. Our colleagues were killed in what can only be described as a deliberate attack.”
The three humanitarian workers were travelling in a clearly marked MSF vehicle near Abi Adi when they were intercepted and shot multiple times at close range. Their bodies were later found up to 400 meters from their bullet-riddled and burned vehicle.
