This woman symbolises the pain of Tigray.
The pain of witnessing atrocities.
The pain of hunger, disease and desperation.
The pain of losing your parents or children.
The pain of not seeing a future.
The pain of going to war.
And most of all the pain of surviving this all.
To the people of #Tigray:
I watch with aching heart as you commemorate the sacrifices of your heroes and heroines who lost their precious lives protecting Tigray at the battlefield or for simply being at home, and I grieve with you. 💔
As you go through this excruciating moment of committing the sacrifices of your martyred into its rightful place of your lived memories, and as you try to move forward without justice and reconciliation on your side, I am reminded that this martyrdom is a martyrdom against a genocidal war determined as crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crimes of forced deportation and ethnic cleansing. It couldn’t have been determined by its rightful name, genocide, to give “peace a chance”, when that peace was what Tigray deserved all along.
It is a sacrifice paid against a genocidal war that couldn’t have been determined by its rightful name of the crimes of genocide and extermination for lack of “time and resource.”
I grieve for you.
We failed you, the world failed you; but even through this painful moment, you continued to show us that your fight for freedom and the right to your self determination will go on no matter what. ❤️💛
To the people of Tigray,
My deepest condolences and utmost respect go out to you as you honor the brave souls who laid down their lives defending Tigray. May their sacrifices serve as a testament to their courage and resilience, and may their memories forever be etched in the heart of Tigray and in the minds of all who value freedom and honor. In these trying times, the world stands with you in remembrance and solidarity.
Thank you so much @timnitGebru for raising to @RepMaxineWaters I hope we can all agree that having a press rep who encourages and engages in harassment of journalists and survivors of atrocities sends an utterly dismaying message.
Atrocities in Tigray are continuing despite the year-old "ceasefire," yet the Ethiopian government is pressing the UN Human Rights Council to terminate scrutiny. It is obviously still needed. https://t.co/9QNhQtyCOh
Eritreans Committed 'Worst' Sexual Violence In Tigray: ICHREE
“I have been to many conflicts, Rwanda and many others. This was as bad as it gets, it included gang rape, it included cruelty of the worst kind. But the worst of this was perpetrated by #Eritrean forces in #Tigray.”
"I have been to many conflicts, Rwanda and many others. This was as bad as it gets… it included cruelty of the worst kind. But I must admit that the worst of this was perpetrated by Eritrean forces in Tigray" ICHREE
#TigrayGenocide
“…signing of the cessation of hostilities agreement neither resolved the conflict nor brought comprehensive peace...Eritrean & Amhara forces still commit grave violations in #Tigray…forced expulsion of #Tigrayans from #WesternTigray…”

Regardless of how brutal and evil our enemies has been for the past 2+ years, I still say, no mother should mourn the murder of her innocent child.
This is heartbreaking 💔 😢
#Justice4Tigray#SayNoToWar#CivilliansNotTargets
I know what ENDF did in Tigray, they massacred our people, they raped women and children, they have brutally mutilated and beheaded our community. Fano ethnically cleansed our community, looted, raped, burned people. There is no question that civilians in Amhara will be victims
95 fucking days with no food distribution in #Tigray.
USAID/WFP aren’t transparent because no one wants to explore their culpability in the deaths of Tigrayans.
I can’t sleep anymore and I don’t even have family in Tigray. I can’t imagine what everyone is going through. ❤️
People gathering for prayer in Axum. ❤️
In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

Ethiopia 🇪🇹 starved Tigray every chance it gets with the support of enough Ethiopians in the name of unity. Not only did Ethiopia starve Tigrayans, it forcibly displaced them to other parts of Ethiopia, to break the cohesion of the community and the social fabric. Fascist 🇪🇹
