Today we lost a sister, a friend, a board member, and one of the most selfless advocates for Tigray.
We will forever miss you, Zuher.
We will keep your spirit alive by fighting for Tigray today and always
🕊❤️💛
6+ million people in Tigray are under siege, and the siege is killing an entire ethnic group slowly. And the worst part is that the Int'l communities are aware of it & still not doing anything to end it.
How long will the West be able to ignore #Tigray while crying for Ukraine?!
