Almost two thousand brave Russians have been brutally detained in dozens of cities for participating in calm protests for peace & against the unjustified attack on the sovereign country of Ukraine.
The Kremlin is not Russia.
Putin is not the Russian people.
#PutinsWar
Thousands of Russians, including Russia and Dynamo Moscow striker Fedor Smolov oppose, their country's invasion of #Ukraine 🇺🇦
While many Ethiopians and their religious leaders were supporting the regime’s war on #Tigray.
“We don’t need war. But if we’re attacked, if someone attempts to take away our land, our freedom, our lives, the lives of our children, we will defend ourselves.”
The parallels between the war on #Ukraine and the war on #Tigray are staggering.
War is hell. I know what Ukrainians are going through today because I and my family are going through the same pain. Seeing the videos and photos from Ukraine today only reminds me of the horrors that @AbiyAhmedAli unleashed on Tigray and its people.
#Tigray, a region of 6-7 million people, have been resisting the genocidal armies of #Ethiopia + #Eritrea and their backers without any support from the world. #Ukraine with all the support from the west can do it too.
PS: hope you apologize to Tigray for arming Ethiopia.
While only AU members Kenya, Ghana, and Gabon have denounced the Russian Ukraine invasion Ethiopia remains silent in apparent approval of it's military ally Russia. What are the implications? #Ethiopia#Redsea#Tigray https://t.co/WzAe3R8wUr
I #StandWithUkraine because 1) my families in #Tigray are victims of the same war of aggression by #Ethiopia & #Eritrea supported by #UAE#Iran#Turkey et al 2) standing with the victim is always the right thing to do anywhere anytime.
The war on Ukrain, as the war on Tigray, reveals paralysis of the multilateral institutions, where entrenched privilages and national interests always trump human values. Selective outrage, an outcome of organizational culture of these institutions, undermines public confidence.
@babina_mie@ShivamI59761087 My homeland #Tigray was invaded in late 2020. Thousands were raped, stabbed and bombarded by the invading #Ethiopian army. I wish nothing but peace to Ukranians and every human being on earth cause it's the bare minimum human right which is to allow people to live #TigrayGenocide
@nexta_tv The same thing happened in #Tigray a year back. The #Ethiopian gov't entered the capital #Mekelle after bombarding the city several times. The people of #Tigray fought back the invading army. As a punishment, the Ethiopian regime has shutdown food, communication eversince June.

As an Afghan, I grew up hearing all Russians vilified and called evil. Until my early teens when I learned that most govts don't represent their people and average people all over the world have more in common than we think. This photo is a reminder of our shared humanity
