Tragic scenes from #Tigray, Ethiopia. Almost daily drone attacks on civilians. Civilians should be protected. We call on Eritrean & Ethiopian forces to end the war, end the siege, & provide access for humanitarian & health aid. Innocent lives, including children's, are at stake.

in public as a badge of honor. No amount of poorly written drama aimed at destroying evidence is going to change the reality in the face of an Independent inquiry into their crimes. As Secretary Rumsfeld once quipped, the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
The #Ethiopian/Amhara Authorities are busy destroying tell-tale evidence of their genocidal campaign against Tigrayans by churning out dramas after dramas aimed at blaming the victim and lionizing the villain. Evidence is never in short supply of course.Their crimes were flaunted
23 Tigrayans interviewed in January 2022 were rounded up in Saudi Arabia and say they were subjected to abuses, including beatings and overcrowding. Saudi Arabia is planning on rounding up and deporting Tigrayans again. #RefugeesNeedHelp#TigrayGenocide@UKUN_NewYork
