"ክወግሕ'ዩ," a melody so bright,
I heal my soul and step into the light.
Longing to sing when shadows fade away,
I choose to live, I choose to stay,
To see the tomorrow I missed yesterday.

Some are asking why I wrote my appeal to peace in Amharic. I chose Amharic as it is the primary working language of Ethiopia and widely understood. Including all five working languages - Tigrigna, Amharic, Afaan Oromo, Somali, and Afar - would be beneficial. Here you go…
ጦርነት ትርፉ ሞት፣ ጥፋት፣ መፈናቀልና ረሃብ ብቻ ነው! ፖለቲካዊ መፍትሄ ሁሌም አለ። እውነተኛ ጀግኖች ሰላምን ይመርጣሉ። ለሰላም ዕድል እንስጥ! 🕊️
ኲናት ትርፉ ሞት፣ ጥፍኣት፣ ምዝንባልን ጥሜትን ጥራይ እዩ! ፖለቲካዊ መፍትሒ ወትሩ ኣሎ። ናይ ሓቂ ጀጋኑ ሰላም ይመርፁ። ንሰላም ዕድል ንሃብ! 🕊️"
Waraanni bu’aan isaa du’a, badii, buqqa’insaafi beela qofa! Furmaanni siyaasaa yoomiyyuu jira. Goonni dhugaan nagaa filata. Nagaadhaaf carraa haa kenninu! 🕊️
Dagaalku waxa laga dhaxlaa oo kaliya dhimasho, burbur, barakac iyo macaluul! Xal siyaasadeed mar walba waa uu jiraa. Geesiyaasha dhabta ahi waxay doortaan nabadda. Aan fursad siinno nabadda! 🕊️
Carbi dubuk rabaay, finqaay, dufuu kee qululu bahta! Umman way siyaasâ fidga tan. Numma agiira salaam doorita. Salaam saami nacay! 🕊️
Courage for Peace.
Peace is the best medicine.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Salsay Weyane Tigray Rejects the Newly Formed TIRA Cabinet
Salsay Weyane Tigray has consistently asserted that the ongoing crisis in Tigray stems from the TPLF's dominance over TIRA.
A misguided decision by a cabal of few army officers to take the law into their hands and dismantle state structures throughout Tigray the last few days has plunged the region into an uncharted territory, with civilians protesting these illegal moves being rounded up and shot at at random. Many casualties in Adigudom and parts of Mekelle. The rampage is part of a harebrained plan to install an illegal faction of TPLF into the position of power, a move that flies full in the face of the aspirations of the people of Tigray and if the Pretoria Agreement. It’s incumbent upon all the stakeholders to the Pretoria agreement to face down such a brazen move before it escalates into another round of devastating war on and against the people of Tigray. There is every reason to believe external forces are trying to take advantage of this crisis to stock up more violence throughout the region and beyond. As if the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people in IDP camps is not worse enough, the very officers who only recently put themselves in harm’s way in their people’s cause. Much as it pains me to break ranks with my erstwhile comrades, it’s altogether fitting and appropriate that we condemn such reckless acts of unmitigated violence in the service of a faction hell bent on grabbing power at all costs.

#WHO Director-General urges global action as dire humanitarian crises unfold in #Ethiopia's #Tigray, #Amhara regions
Tedros Adhanom, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), has drawn attention to the dire humanitarian situation unfolding in Tigray, Amhara, and various parts of Ethiopia, which has been exacerbated by a severe drought. This alarming crisis has intensified food insecurity and widespread malnutrition, placing millions of individuals at risk of starvation. Speaking at the Association des Correspondents Auprès des Nations Unies (#ACANU) press corps, Tedros emphasized the unfolding humanitarian crises in conflict-ridden nations, including Ethiopia and Sudan.
During his address, the Director-General highlighted the ongoing human rights crises in Ethiopia, despite peace agreements. He underscored the concerning lack of action in addressing sexual violence in the Tigray region and the detrimental impact of the ongoing conflict in the Amhara region on healthcare facilities. Tedros expressed deep dismay at the persistent use of rape and other forms of gender-based violence, describing the scale of these atrocities in Tigray as unprecedented in his professional experience. He lamented the lack of media coverage, emphasizing the urgent need for attention and intervention.
Furthermore, Tedros emphasized that gender-based violence, particularly conflict-related sexual violence, can be prevented, stressing the importance of ensuring all survivors have access to compassionate healthcare services. Additionally, he shed light on the state of emergency in the neighboring Amhara region, where the ongoing conflict has resulted in the destruction of healthcare facilities, including a recent drone attack on an ambulance that tragically claimed five lives.
