Save Tigray🌏

Preach Peace not war!

[Getachew Assefa @GetachewAssefa_]

War tore Ethiopia’s diaspora apart. Peace activists are stitching it back together.

““I saw the media – the diaspora media, the church media – everyone was warmongering,” says Getachew Assefa, a professor of architecture at the University of Calgary with Tigrayan roots. “That shocked me to the core.” 
In response, he decided in mid-2021 to start a news platform devoted to spreading accurate information about the war in Tigray and advocating for an end to the killing of civilians on both sides. UMD Media – short for “understanding, measuring, doing” – publishes articles and hosts panel discussions. Today, it reaches more than 30,000 subscribers of multiple ethnicities, faiths, and countries on YouTube, and sometimes broadcasts by satellite into Ethiopia and Eritrea as well, Dr. Assefa says.   “

Human Rights First’s Ethiopia press release on the Tigray Interim Administration's release of 212 captured ENDF members, who allegedly committed atrocity crimes in the Tigray war.

An advisor to government of Ethiopia, made the following hate speech in the public media as part of #TigrayGenocide,
@UN_HRC, mind you, according to his narrative, against #Tigrayans people.

More than 2 months since the Pretoria Agreement.
• #Eritrea/n forces still present inside Tigray ... killing, raping, kidnapping and looting properties.
• #Amhara forces have changed their uniforms into ENDF and Federal forces and continued atrocities. 1/2
#EritreaOutOfTigray

[AbrahaBelai @abraha_belai]

Eritrean troops are busy at massacring & looting whatever is left of a ravaged #Tigray. Over 70% of war-torn #Tigray is under occupation. Hunger is stalking over 6 million people. The media may talk about peace, but little has changed on the ground. #SaveTigray. @hrw @amnesty @ap

#Ethiopia Tayech was a businesswoman in the countryside with her family. She was detained by Eritrean soldiers in the desert for two weeks where she was subjected to rape and sexual enslavement.#JusticeforEthiopia #16DaysofActivism #TPLF #SGBV @_AfricanUnion @achpr_cadhp @UN_HRC

[Millete Birhanemaskel @GualJeganu]

Sporadic calls/msgs from #Tigray aren't what we expected. Calls aren't about grief of 2 years passed; Instead a desperate cry for what is CURRENTLY happening. #Eritreans wreak havoc as #Ethiopia watches. Exactly why #TDF - The people's army- was birthed to begin with. #FreeTigray

"The Ethiopian Tigray War has received 368,000 stories in the media globally over two years, Shackelford said. Meanwhile, since just February, there have been 12 million stories on Russian Invasion. That’s 33 times the coverage in less than half the time."

WHO chief @DrTedros says #Eritrean forces continue to 'massacre civilians' in the #Tigray region despite the peace agreement aimed at ending the two-year conflict in #Ethiopia.

[Getachew K Reda @reda_getachew]

By continuing to carry out his genocidal campaign against the people of #Tigray, #Isaias obviously is reminding the world he is in charge & unrepentant. Unfortunately the international community seems to have fallen for the trick. He responds to pressure & so do his partners!

[Gebrekirstos Gebreselassie @GebrekirstosG]

UK to downgrade commitment to human rights for close diplomatic ties with some countries. And one of the countries is Ethiopia. It is better to be honest.
This guy was in Ethiopia recently where he was seen frolicking with the genocaider Abiy.

#HumanRightsDay is a reminder that equal access to health services, without discrimination, is a fundamental human right. @WHO is committed to making health not a privilege for the few, but a human right for all. Let’s #StandUp4HumanRights and #HealthForAll!

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Eritrean forces continue to massacre civilians in #Tigray, Ethiopia despite the peace agreement.

[Tim Vanden Bempt @tvbempt]

Nobody can brace themselves for the pain that will come. 2 years of hidden heartbreaking trauma is just too long.
The only 'comfort' we have is that we all share the same pain. Nobody stands alone.
The collective punishment allows also for collective grieve.

[Ƒìէաì | #FreeTigray |#EndTigrayGenocide | @FitwiDesta]

Is @OCHA_Ethiopia endorsing the brutal ethnic cleansing and illegal annexation of Tigrayan territories by Amhara region?

May Tsebri and Dima are in Tigray, NOT in North Gondar.
Alamata, Bala and Korem are in Tigray, NOT in North Wollo.

A moving tribute to Prof. Meareg Amare, a Tigrayan Professor at the Bahir Dar University who was assassinated after coordinated hate speech campaign on SM.

Plus a mix of other enthralling articles in the "The Horn", "Talk Business", "Travel", "Women", & "Tech Insight" columns.

December 10 is Human Rights Day.

Annually observed by the @UN, this day offers an opportunity to recommit to human rights in building a better world.

Theme for 2022: Dignity, Freedom, and Justice for All.

In commemoration, my latest on accountability:
