Once the people were pushed out of the land, their stories and traces are being erased and their land being branded as "untouched". This is what modern day settler colonialism looks like.

Abiy Ahmed Ali regime-affiliated "commercial farmers" are marketing the land of Western Tigray as "untouched," despite the ethnic cleansing and displacement of more than 1.2 million Tigrayans from the region.
My interview today on US-Ethiopia relations and the overall approach to the Horn of Africa. Without a strategy or an envoy to the region, the US approach seems all over the place: backing Sisi on the Nile, rapprochement with Eritrea, sanctions on Tigrayans, trade and investment deals with Ethiopia, and presumably Washington's silence on Abiy's re-election. I argue that Washington is trying to please all these states in a bid to advance its own interests, but how long can they walk this tightrope without a net? https://t.co/lbb14dUx4V
The European Union should adopt clear enforceable human rights benchmarks in its engagement with Ethiopia, so recent diplomatic and financial normalization doesn't undermine accountability efforts regarding abuses in the Tigray, Oromia, and Amhara regions. https://t.co/czqEV7qap5

@Habtishgreat We have been saying enough of the man of Bashasha, Jimma . The man who’s been shedding the blood of many innocent civilians. You’re not moved. But what changed? Did your own family members fall pray to the ruthless regime that you have been supporting? What happened?
@befeqe@TeklehaymanotG The people of Tigray, though they lost their possessions and family members, they’ve not lost their memories. We know how you discredited ppl who tried to raise awareness about the grave situation in Tigray. Google your posts and reread them. The evidence is there.

Ethiopia’s Blockade Strangling Tigray’s Business Sector
#Ethiopia is continuing its genocide by non‑lethal means, inc restricting credit, halting all fuel deliveries and obstructing post-war reconstruction—measures that have left #Tigray’s business sector struggling to recover.
@tilahun_adamu@DHSgov The man you are talking about is one cruel man who was calling for“all Tigrayans to be sent to concentration camps “ , he was also armed and terrorizing Tigrayans in Western Tigray and in Wollo. So, not an innocent asylum seeker!
@EmmanuelMekonen@Tseday She is a wonderful mother to her children and it’s none of your business whether she is single or not. Don’t be such a disrespectful person.
News: Demonstration held in #Kobo town, #Amhara region, supporting House of Federation decision; IDPs allege pressure to participate
A public demonstration was held on Saturday in Kobo town, #North_Wollo Zone of the Amhara Region, in support of a decision by the House of #Federation and the National Election Board of #Ethiopia allowing elections to be conducted in disputed areas of the Raya zone outside the administration of the Tigray Region.
However, internally displaced people (#IDPs) and residents who participated in the gathering told Addis Standard they were warned that failure to take part could affect their access to humanitarian assistance.
On 23 February 2026, it was reported that Ethiopia’s House of Federationhad ordered the upcoming federal parliamentary elections in five electoral districts previously under the Tigray regional state to be conducted outside the Tigray administration’s oversight until the “ownership claim is resolved.”
The decision by the House of Federation triggered outrage in #Tigray, where demonstrations took place in different towns opposing the move.
On 27 February 2026, in #Alamata, 30 km from Kobo town in the North Wollo Zone of the Amhara Region, one of the districts excluded from Tigray oversight by the House of Federation, a large number of protesters gathered to oppose the decision by the House of Federation and the National Election Board.
However, state-affiliated broadcaster Amhara Media Corporation reported that residents from Raya Alamata, Raya Bala, Zata, and Ofla districts, as well as Alamata and Korem towns, took part in the demonstration held in Kobo.
According to the report, demonstrators framed the issue as a matter of identity, stating that “identity is non-negotiable” and arguing that preventing residents from exercising their right to vote would amount to a denial of democratic rights.
