The plight of #Tigray's internally displaced people – with a collapsed health system, psychological trauma affecting over 80%+, and no secure right to return despite peace agreements – requires coordinated global action to restore their rights and #End this humanitarian crisis by any means. #TigrayIsSuffering @UNGeneva

It is an old story but one whose time to be re-told has long been overdue. And in the re-telling, the horror with fresh details remains unmitigated, as if it is but yesterday. #Tigray #Ethiopia #Eritrea

[James Joseph @James_JosephTDL]

"Ethiopia’s Tigray Temptation" by Mulugeta Gebrehiwot Berhe and Alex de Waal of @WorldPeaceFdtn warns that Ethiopia and Eritrea’s beef over the Assab port could spark a new war, with Tigray caught in the crossfire.

There was a war in Ethiopia's Tigray region from 2020 - 2022. It was one of the most egregiously under-reported conflicts in modern history. Yes, there was a comms blackout. Yes, access was difficult. But I think racism also played a part. Just another African war. Who cares?

Why did you ignore the Tigray GENOCIDE and 120k women raped??

#EthiopiaWatch🇪🇹: Inflation continues to PUNISH Ethiopians.

Using high-frequency data, today, I accurately measure Ethiopia’s inflation at 41%/yr — nearly 3x higher than the latest, INACCURATE official inflation rate of 14.4%/yr.

PM ABIY AHMED = ARROGANT, INCOMPETENT & CORRUPT.

"It just breaks my heart": New York Times' columnist Nicholas Kristof on the U.S. set to destroy 500 tons of USAID emergency food aid for starving people around the world that expires this month.

[Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳 @chefjoseandres]

A waste of food. A waste of lives. A waste of American resources and power.

We must find a way to buy and distribute this food on behalf of the American people…I will pay for it personally.

If this is what UAE is doing in Brussels imagine what those numbers look like in Washington 👀❗️

[Hana Kiros @hanamkiros]

The Trump administration will pay to incinerate enough food to feed 1.5 million children for a week. When the packets burn, their labels will read: THIS PRODUCT IS A GIFT FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. 500 tons, from us, to no one.

Three years. No justice or answers.

On June 24, 2021, MSF’s María Hernández, Tedros Gebremariam & Yohannes Halefom were brutally executed in Tigray while providing care.

They wore MSF vests. Their car bore MSF flags.
Unmistakably aid workers, yet they were hunted and killed.

Ethiopian troops murdered aid workers in #Tigray in 2021.
Abiy Ahmed, who was inexplicably awarded the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize by @NobelPeaceOslo, has been committing a brutal #TigrayGenocide & siege since 2020.
Abiy was unhappy @MSF workers were witnessing a genocide. @MSF_USA

[MSF East Africa @MSF_EastAfrica]

🔴MSF has published the findings of an internal review into the brutal killing of three of its staff members María Hernández Matas, Tedros Gebremariam Gebremichael, and Yohannes Halefom Reda in central Tigray, Ethiopia, on 24 June 2021.

[Horn_ Anarchists @HornAnarchists]

Emperor Hailesellasie in his autobiography admits to giving “Tigray territory” (ie Wesrern Tigray) to the King of Gonder Ras Woldegiorgis.
Tigray deserved compensation not genocidal occupation by the Amhara region. It makes me mad.

But I am not sleeping on this.
