UN chief @antonioguterres said that more people have died in the #Tigray conflict than in the war in #Ukraine. He describes the peace deal as an “an opportunity that #Ethiopia cannot miss, that Africa cannot miss, and that the world cannot miss.” #African
❗*..Between Oct. 25 and Oct. 31, hundreds of civilians were taken from their homes and killed by #Eritrean troops in the countryside surrounding Adwa, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the border with #Eritrea, according to three of the people.."

"Eritrean forces killed 111 people, according to a report compiled between Nov. 17 and Nov. 23 by the Tigray government’s Emergency Coordination Center; 103 people were severely injured in areas still controlled by Eritrea and 241 houses were destroyed."

It is exactly 2 years since the gruesome #AxumMassacre took place in #Tigray region.
Over 800 unarmed civilians were massacred by Eritrean troops
Those responsible for crime against humanity still in power. and still perpetrating impunity.

The global internet gurus enjoy dancing, while just hundreds of kms away over 6 millions are under total blackout -no internet access—no access to media or telephone services.
Millions of #Tigrayans are going hungry.
Remember what @DrTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization, said there was “nowhere on earth” where the health of millions of people was more under threat than in Tigray.
Sexual violence used as weapon of war in Tigray conflict. An estimated 120k women and girls raped by armed actors.
On this day, the International Women Human Rights Defenders Day we must remind world not to write off those crimes.
We owe the victims of rape in Tigray justice.
Authorities in #Ethiopia's #Tigray region say hundreds killed by Eritrean forces. Targets to withdraw troops, lay down arms won’t be met. https://t.co/eeGkR14TRM
There is "no timeline” for restoring internet access to #Ethiopia's embattled #Tigray region, a senior government official said Tuesday. https://t.co/Cm9NNuy7ic
“Don’t Let Abiy Ahmed Become the Next Saddam” (in @19_forty_five arguing that @AbiyAhmedAli is intent to hijack humanitarian aid to further collective punishment of #Tigray just as Saddam did with oil-for-for against Shiites, Kurds): - https://t.co/x4ldlMXXvE @AEIfdp#Ethiopia
Last Thursday, I had an extensive discussion on #Tigray and #Ethiopia with National Security Advisor @JakeSullivan46, who clearly has an extensive knowledge of this tragic conflict. [A Thread]
I couldn’t agree more with Ranking Member Risch. While I am encouraged by the Ethiopian government's commitment to restore services in #Tigray after 2 years of blackout, it must make good on these commitments immediately - before it can host prestigious conferences like #IGF2022
.@UN hosting a conference on access to the internet in #Ethiopia is wrong. The gov't has imposed an internet blackout on #Tigray for 2yrs. The @intgovforum should hold #IGF2022 in a country that respects #freespeech and doesn't regularly block its citizens from internet access.
