Disturbing video from Tigray showing mothers in distress amid reports of alleged forced recruitment. This must be investigated. #Tigray#HumanRightsViolations
To the @HouseForeign and @SenateForeign: Please pay attention to the reported forced recruitment of youth in Tigray. Independent investigation and protection of civilians are urgently needed. #Tigray
Imagine, in the age of Ai enabled drone warfare, the TPLF-Junta is forcibly conscripting high school kids, just like they do in the medieval Eritrea. This is purely Stone Age. 😭😭
The people of #Tigray have spoken: "No to war".
But the #TPLF ignores them, continuing forced conscription and violating human rights.
This is not liberation. This is oppression.
The world must act. 🇪🇹
The #TPLF's forced conscription is being met with resistance. 🇪🇹
As their loyal military rounded up young Tigrayans, youth on the streets threw stones at the bus.
The people of #Tigray have said:
NO to TPLF.
NO to war.
The resistance is real.
#NoToWar
We can’t breath ,save our people 💔
Another heartbreaking news from Mekelle ⛔️
Disturbing videos from across Tigray, Mekelle Mothers protesting and crying to save their teenage and young childrens 😭indicate that young people are being forcibly recruited by armed
Tigray is crying for help‼️
This is not Afghanistan or Palestine. It is the Tigray region of Ethiopia, where unimaginable horror is unfolding right now.
TPLF oligarchs and their enforcers are dragging young children, barely teenagers, into forced military service, tearing them from their families and throwing them into the meat grinder of endless conflict. Desperate communities are weeping, screaming, and begging for it to stop, but their cries fall on deaf ears. They are powerless against heavily armed killer squads who roam with military weapons, crushing any resistance with brutal force.
The suffering in Tigray is catastrophic: families shattered, children robbed of their childhoods and futures, entire communities living in terror under the shadow of guns and coercion. Yet, shockingly, many Tigrayans in the diaspora loudly proclaim their solidarity with Palestine while turning a blind eye to the nightmare devouring their own people back home. The selective outrage and willful ignorance only deepen the tragedy.
Tigray is bleeding, and the world barely notices.
Forced militarly enrollment in Tigray, the terrorist #TPLF taking young people as young as 10 years old from their homes and churches shipping them by bus to Eritrea for military training. #FreeTigray from the terrorist #TPLF.
We all Ethiopians must stand together and say #NoMore TPLF! 🇪🇹
Stop the Eritreanization of Tigray!
The TPLF is repeating the same pattern: forced conscription, suppression, & destruction just like Eritrea.
We will not allow our Tigray people to be enslaved by a military junta.
The spokesperson for the hardline politico-military oligarchy in Mekelle has officially denounced the forced military conscription in #Tigray, stating that perpetrators will be held accountable.

Leaked footage showing kids being snatched up by the TPLF-Junta in Tigray, and sent to Eritrea’s notorious Sawa labor camp for military training and eventual deployment in Sudan’s war, where they most certainly will die as mercenaries. A complex network of sponsors, including the government of Egypt is financing this carnage.😭😭
#Tigray: A video circulating on social media appears to show dozens of youth being loaded onto a bus in Mekelle, the regional capital
Resident said the young men were rounded up and were being taken to a military training camp as part of an ongoing forced conscription campaign.
Following the conclusion of the Grade 12 national examinations, widespread forced military conscription is escalating across Tigray. This footage was captured this morning in the regional capital, Mekelle.
@UNHumanRights@hrw@amnesty@BBCWorld
This footage was taken in Abiy Adi, #Tembien, #Tigray, where young people are reportedly being rounded up in the evening for forced military conscription. Yesterday, a bank in the same town was closed after staff were detained by militants. Similar stories throughout the region.
The madness continues, and it must stop. Silence only emboldens further suffering. The people of Tigray deserve peace, justice, accountability, and protection. #Tigray #HumanRights #Ethiopia
