@TiborPNagyJr When the war started you covered up Eritrea’s involvement for over a month and Secretary Pompeo thanked them for their “restraint”

"Babies in Ethiopia’s embattled Tigray region are dying in their first month of life at four times the rate before the war cut off access to most medical care for over 5 million people" https://t.co/GYXlzMsiWB

“Elderly mothers and fathers detained in a bid to force their children, who have gone into hiding, to surrender.” Stark account from Eritrea of the mass mobilisation of civilians to fight in Tigray. https://t.co/G1UEs6d5wq

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Journalists are banned from Tigray, making it hard to assess independently what is happening on the front. Yet it is clear that Eritrean troops are fighting alongside Ethiopian ones in several places https://t.co/Xtdrft2QQP

[Milkessa Gemechu @milkessam]

Gen. Filopos, Eritrean Army chief of staff, is the chair of the joint command post of Ethio- Eritrean invading forces in the Horn of Africa. Asmara runs the war on Tigray. Gen. Abebaw Tadese, Ethiopia’s deputy chief of staff, made his capital Asmara, with little/no role.

"The African Union abandoned its vision of 'silencing the guns' in favor of colluding with warmakers" - trenchant criticism of proposed Ethiopia talks from Alex de Waal.
The A.U. insists the talks will take place "soon". But no dates yet.

[Rashid Abdi @RAbdiAnalyst]

US, other Western states call on Eritrea to withdraw from Ethiopia, other external players to stop fuelling conflict.

This is the good part

The depressing part is call on belligerents to submit to "AU-led" process.

What is needed is bold alternative process to break logjam.

#Tigray No light at the end of the tunnel…

A big number of Tigrayans lost their lives. Children are malnourished or dying from starvation.
This is extremely worrying while the situation worsen.
Fighting continues with shelling and drones from Ethiopia and Eritrea

[Netherlands Mission in Geneva @NLinGeneva]

#KingdomNL 🇳🇱 welcomes the renewal of the mandate of the International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia (#ICHREE) in the #HRC51. Accountability is an essential part of breaking the cycle of violence in #Ethiopia.

AIR STRIKE IN#ETHIOPIA'S #TIGRAY REGION KILLS AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE, INJURES 37 - DOCTOR

[Alan Boswell @alanboswell]

The world’s muted response suggests that it does not realize the mind-boggling scale of casualties over the past few weeks in N #Ethiopia.

Or at least I hope this is not the most we can muster?

[The Lord (Tariq)Ahmad of Wimbledon KCMG @tariqahmadbt]

The renewal of the mandate for International Commission of Human Rights Experts @UN_HRC comes at a crucial time for Ethiopia.

[Ireland at UN in Geneva @IrelandUNGeneva]

Ireland welcomes the decision of @UN_HRC to extend its mandates on Afghanistan, Ethiopia and Burundi.

We are proud to have been part of EU leadership 🇪🇺 on these important resolutions.

International monitoring of these human rights situations of concern remains necessary.

[Neils @Neil_Sarmstrong]

@RedwanHussien The voice of reason are the countries who voted yes against the ruthless siege on the Tigray people by their own government. @martinplaut @RAbdiAnalyst @NorwayUN @SecBlinken @LindaT_G @BBCAfrica @cnni @AFP @AJENews

[Ahmed Mohammed @AM4Tigray]

@RedwanHussien Countries that matter supported the resolution. The club of African dictators, known for abusing human rights, oppossed it. This is part of the long standing pact among African dictators: "you scratch my back and I will scratch yours".
