#Ethiopia: #Tigray interim president criticizes #US embassy diplomats’ visit to occupied southern Tigray https://t.co/glRpYniGVM
@reda_getachew said the visit by U.S Embassy diplomats in Addis Abeba to #Alamata, a city that is part of the southern Tigray zone but is currently occupied by Amhara regional state forces & it officials “amount[s] to sanctioning” the illegal occupation of Tigray’s territory.
Earlier today @HailuKebede_,Head of the Department of Foreign Affairs at Tigray based opposition Salsay Weyane Tigray, reacted that “any official visit to the area with the help of the Amhara occupiers who committed ethnic cleansing is unacceptable & dangerous.”

@SecBlinken what your employeesbare doing in Alamata is ignoring a genocide and working with genociders who have forcefully occupied innocent TigrY ppl's place. Th US must clearly explain why? The ppl of Alamata are suffering as IDPs as we speak.
A delegation of diplomats from the US Embassy was in Alamata, doing God-knows-what. Whatever the objectives of their trip to Alamata & other parts of Tigray illegally occupied by Amhara forces, their decision to publicly socialize-gifts& all-with illegal authorities does amount
This is what my office at Adigrat University looked like when I came back to see what was left after being robbed of everything in it by the invading Eritrean forces.
Desktops are gone while documents are thrown in every direction.
#Justice_and_Accountability for Tigray
@EU_Commission@POTUS@StateDept@UN_HRC@USAmbUN horific #TigrayGenocide happened infront of your watch but you are doing nothing. You are proving that there is no equal human being after all. What you say in words donot match with what you do !!!
Accountability and justice are needed for abuses in Western Tigray.
If Ethiopia’s international partners want to see sustainable and credible rights progress, they should stop overlooking victims’ calls. https://t.co/q3lMuoLc6G
Thank you @TsedaleLemma .
Yes the foreign forces are still in Tigray and the people of tigray has got nothing so far. Many attrocities are being committed and also those that are not occupied are still starving to death.
Stop #TigrayGenocide@SecBlinken
Can the fragile in Ethiopia hold? Journalist @TsedaleLemma of @addisstandard says the U.S. and other countries must press for the "full implementation" of the November agreement that ended two years of fighting between the government and Tigrayan forces.
"Witnesses have told The Globe and Mail that Eritrean troops remain an aggressive presence in Tigray region in northern Ethiopia, attacking and looting civilians in defiance of a November peace agreement that requires all foreign forces to withdraw." https://t.co/NnKNPlkV05
Today Ethiopian Prime Minister @AbiyAhmedAli and I discussed the significant progress made so far on implementation of the cessation of hostilities agreement; the ongoing withdrawal of Eritrean troops is a critical step in securing hope and peace.
Dulce bellum inexpertis!
My Maiden, Upclose and Personal Account of three devastating wars fought in my lifetime. The latest is genocidal in nature and its level of ambition, and by far the most devastating of any that I have witnessed.

A couple of days before the capture of Mekelle end of 2020, me and my childhood friends met in a cafe with lots of uncertainties and more importantly as a form of goodbye if we don’t make it alive. We didn’t utter the word goodbye, but in our hearts we were all fearing 1/n
Losing a loved one is a difficult & traumatic experience, especially challenging when the loss is violent. In the aftermath of such loss, it is common to experience a range of emotions.
I am copying by creating pictures until I am strong enough to use words. #Eritrea#Tigray
@AbiyAhmedAli the man who is effectively killing his own citizens by drons, torture, rape, preventing basic services to bank, tel, internet and caused man made hunger is endorssed by @SecBlinken. Politics sucks!! stop #TigrayGenocide
@SecBlinken@AbiyAhmedAli We are not able to talk or save our families in tigray due to @AbiyAhmedAli total seige on tigray. Women and children are starving to death and you are appreciating the genocider's act of killing innocent human lives. You are making me give up on humanity @SecBlinken.
@PMEthiopia@AbiyAhmedAli A prime minister who killed millions of its citizens, who is starving 7 million people by denying access to banking, communication, internet and aid is awarded in the US. what a shame !!! @POTUS@SecBlinken this means you r endorsing #TigrayGenocide & #OromoGenocide !
