@werey_Alhaji01 @biafra_united @jcokechukwu Ethiopia was not colonized, correct. But Egypt was colonized.

''I join other African leaders in reiterating that a continent of around 1.3 billion people needs a permanent voice and seat at the UNSC . Issues and decisions that concern the continent cannot continue being addressed without continental representation.'' PM @AbiyAhmedAli

“America’s incapacity to leverage the conflict and its disingenuousness in supporting the Tigray rebels who started the war has clearly put Ethiopia’s future much more clearly in China’s hands, marking a major diplomatic defeat for Biden and Blinken.” https://t.co/b6L7pu2WQQ

As we mark 30 years of #26November 16days of activism, we say #NoMore to using women’s bodies as a battleground during conflict to terrorize communities, tear families apart, and deliberate spread HIV. #stopviolenceagainstwomen

[IFRC @ifrc]

Globally, 1 in 3 women faces physical or sexual violence during her lifetime.

Since the pandemic started, violence against women, especially domestic violence has intensified.

We join the 16 Days of activism against Gender-Based Violence. #OrangeTheWorld

@GemechisEjeta While appreciating your efforts in keeping our city clean, what we have to invest our energy on is rather in prevention- educating our society not to throw dirt on the streets. If all of us are aware (esp drivers) and play our own part, we’ll slowly but surely get there.

This article written, sometime back, is spot on. ‘A settlement only happens when politicians put their egos aside and heed the plight of the suffering people – the big losers in this tragic war.’ https://t.co/nxe6EH0cXN

#US current aggression towards #Ethiopia should probably spark another black solidarity movement both from #Africa & from social rights activists in US like #BLM Stop military intervention! #NoMore #AfricaUnite @POTUS @SecBlinken @_AfricanUnion @UhuruKE

When writing about the ongoing war in Ethiopia, The New York Times uses these Tuk-tuk cars instead of these gleaming buildings for their picture of Addis Ababa. This is a subtle portrayal of Africa as backward & not worth stopping the war.
