UPDATE #Tigray
Carnage in parts of South #Tigray controlled by Fano militia and ENDF. Fano militiamen are committing Ethnic Cleansing, looting, destruction of civilian property and extrajudicial killings in Alamata, Korem and Ofla.
"Eighty percent of the Tigray is unreachable," said president of the Ethiopian Red Cross, Abera Tola. Some starvation deaths have been reported and the figures could climb fast. "After two months it will be tens of thousands."

Due to the siege in #Tigray, Ethiopia, many people have died of starvation, man made famine & lack of access to essential health care in past 2 years. Many dying incl, Children due to daily carpet bombing by Eritrean and Ethiopian forces. We need peace & safe humanitarian access.
Once a genocidaire always a genocidaire. Betraying the people of #Tigray & massacring them by allying with foreigners, at least once in every generation, is NOT a mistake BUT an intent 🇪🇹 has nurtured against #Tigray.
This generation must decide once & forever.
#TigrayGenocide
some victims of yesterday’s drone strike by #Ethiopia’n govt.
Most victims were church goers who got together after a sermon to discuss how they can get through this difficult time of war.
Whats Ironic is Abiy consider himself servant of the Lord & his wife is worship leader.
Heartbreaking scenes from #Tigray. Hunger and starvation continues to ravish the region and due to the war, there is barely any electricity to tell the rest of the world about their plight.
To call Ethiopia's armed conflict "civil war" is an unfortunate misnomer. It masks a lot
If we are being honest, the war on Tigray draws its primary energy from a visceral and genocidal ethnic bloodlust.
Simple.
The warning signs are there for genocide in (Tigray) Ethiopia – the world must act to prevent it: Helen Clark, Michael Lapsley and David Alton| The Guardian | https://t.co/XpFp2Zytbm
Eritrea steps up crackdown on draft dodgers. Now even those aged 70 being enlisted. Offenders risk losing their businesses, property. Police moving house-to-house in urban centres to net dodgers. Women reservists also being called up.

Abiy rallying his base to protest against what he sees as Western attempt to snatch his Tigray "military victory", give another lease of life to TPLF by way of ceasefire.
The mood music in the buildup to Johannesburg meeting definitely not good.
A boycott will not suprise me
