Amid fragile security and deteriorating humanitarian conditions, especially in health and nutrition, the people of Irob and Zalambessa in Tigray, Ethiopia, continue to be harassed and intimidated by Eritrean forces, including to forcibly change their identities.

Lasting peace cannot be achieved until people’s basic rights are assured and they are allowed to live freely and autonomously.

12 "If, then" algorithms that will change your life:

1. If you're pursuing a goal, then avoid telling people. It releases cheap dopamine and tricks your brain into thinking you've already achieved it (lowering motivation). Move in silence.

World's most deadly war over the last year has not been in Ukraine, but in #Tigray, a region in Ethiopia:

-Hundreds of thousands dead
-No working ambulances for millions
-A siege that's cut off supplies
-Near-total comms blackout

@leulabebehaile What a devil country and society.

@elonmusk @MrBeast But over 6 million people in #Tigray live in a brutal siege for over 2 years with no access to internet and any communication. They need your Starlink. Help us connect with our families and loved ones.

#InternetShutdowns violate fundamental human rights and Ethiopian authorities must restore internet access in Tigray. We have repeatedly called for an immediate end to this shutdown, which has been ongoing for the past 2 years, throughout our participation at #IGF2022.

Ethiopia's allies are looting towns, arresting & killing civilians & relocating thousands of people from a disputed part of Tigray despite a truce between the government & local forces, witnesses & aid workers in the northern region say. https://t.co/mkemCqLjeL

Thousands of Ethiopian soldiers have been in internment camps since the conflict in the nothern region of Tigray began. Scores of them have been killed. This is the story of one afternoon when guards turned on their prisoners. https://t.co/jmYIq8rs6N

Ethiopia is truly exceptional. How else do you explain the fact that one of Africa's biggest predators of open Internet is hosting an international conference on Internet governance?

[BLEN @GmedhinT]

@AfroDiva The people who decided to attend this conference in #Ethiopia, where 6 million people are in communication black out for more than 2 years, are jokes/cheap and have no sense of morality. I am not surprised if they are treated in the same way, cheap.

[BLEN @GmedhinT]

@EA_DevCouncil Is that the same man who killed more than 2 million Biafrans ?

[BLEN @GmedhinT]

#TDF may disarm
if #Eritrean and #Amhara armies withdraw from #Tigray territories and disarm so that they should not pose any security danger to Tigray people.

After the signing of #CoHA between #Ethiopia gov. & #TPLF, continous atrocities are beging perpetrated against civilians in #Tigray by #Eritrea forces. Are PM #AbiyAhmed willing to use force to expell #EDF from Tigray, to save the CoHA? What is @_AfricanUnion doing to stop PIA?

[Kindeya Gebrehiwot, PhD, Prof @ProfKindeya]

Tigray under #Eritrean forces: civilians are killed, kidnapped & abducted like in no other time; crop harvests are taken &/or burnt; livestock are slaughtered & taken; & properties are looted. Infrastructure are intentionally looted &or damaged. Heinous crimes #EritreaoutofTigray
