#UPDATE The UN's World Health Organization said Friday it still did not have unfettered access to bring humanitarian aid into Ethiopia's war-torn northern Tigray region, one month after the ceasefire.
There is no other situation 🌍 in which 6 million people have been kept under siege for almost 2 years like in #Tigray, Ethiopia. This is a health crisis. I urge the intl. community to give this crisis the attention it deserves. There is a narrow window now to prevent genocide.
"Calls" from every corner for an immediate cessation of hostilities, withdraw of Eritrean troops, unfettered access, talks, etc. etc. But who can really believe that Abiy and even more Issayas would listen to simple calls without any concrete action to impose them practically?
Horrified by the reports of continuous violence, including targeting of civilians, in #Shire#Tigray.
Genuine peace efforts do not amount to increasing military offensives nor to provocation.
Respecting international law is not an option - it is an obligation for all.

Brave Tigrayan woman Eleni Abrha confronts @MoF_Ethiopia Ahmed Shide at @WorldBank as he awaits to beg for more money to purchase more weapons for the continuation of genocidal campaign on #Tigray.
Eleni's father was killed in the ongoing #TigrayGenocide 💔
Eritrea firing everything it has on Tigray from all directions. Heavy fighting on the fronts of Zelambesa, Rama, and Sheraro-shire. The Addis Ababa regime is bombing all over Tigray with military drones and jets.
Today's drone attack at Dengolat town (30KM from Mekelle) has left scores dead and wounded. Total number of casualties not yet known. We have received 42 victims, five of them have died.

"Isaias has made no secret of his plans for #Ethiopia. He thinks it is destined for fragmentation (like Yugoslavia) or state failure (like the Democratic Republic of Congo), and he will do his best to help it on its way." #Tigray#Eritrea
