Ethiopian Troop Build‑Up Near Tigray Sparks War Fears
Fears of renewed war are mounting following reports of large‑scale troop and weapons deployment by the #Ethiopian army along #Tigray’s borders, further undermining the fragile peace established by the 2022 Pretoria Agreement.
Dear Ambassador Masinga, I am unsure if any American diplomat has ever been photographed in a celebratory manner with individuals deemed war criminals by the US State Department for committing ethnic cleansing, as described by Secretary Blinken in his March 2021 speech. These individuals and settlers have engaged in ethnic cleansing through extrajudicial killings, forcibly displacing over a million people, and resettling approximately a million settlers by seizing the land and property of Tigrayans in Western Tigray.
Ambassador Masinga, it is well-known that for months, the genocidal Abiy Ahmed Ali has restricted your travel to Tigray. So, how is it that he now permits you to visit Western Tigray? Is this part of his agenda? For your reference, I have attached some international reports on the war crimes and crimes against humanity these individuals committed in Western Tigray.
