Amazing time lapse images from space show how Tigray was plunged into darkness and erased from map of the world at night.
Great report by @cathkemi

I will no longer be speaking @panafriconai due to the guest of honour: Ethiopian prime minister. The seige of Tigray is an insane violation of human rights & has hurt members of my African AI community. I hurt for them & I cant see past that. I am sorry ☮️🕊️🌍
@TiborPNagyJr Review your position in the region. Help TDF to remove Esayas. Peace negotiations can quickly resume between Ethiopia vs Tigray vs Eritrea than you can imagine. Accept your personal responsibility in planning and supporting the war in Tigray at first.
You might have heard about the sickening violence in Tigray, a region in northern Ethiopia. It’s important for us all to understand what’s going on in these spaces. Here’s a bit of an explainer:
The Sudanese troops retook Kala-Leban and Barkhat settlements and Tesfai Adawi Hills in the Fashaga.
They further captured dozens of Ethiopian troops.

I was invited to co-host a reception for Ethiopian Finance Minister Ahmed Shide and Ethiopian Ambassador Fitsum Arega.
I declined. I will not break bread with a Minister of a government that has used a food blockade to kill thousands of civilians.

A recent study https://t.co/AplyLA7Kpu found out that 80% of hospitals in Tigray have been destroyed by the war in the region. Thanks, @ProfMulugeta, and colleagues for this documentation and communication.
What do you do when your people are facing genocide? When you don't know whether your family is dead, alive starving, or sick? Tigrayan grieves, but also fights back, work harder & wins. I just won the 2022 #UF Superior Accomplishment Award for the scientific catagory.#ንትግራይ
@TiborPNagyJr You are a failed diplomat at all levels. Your actions cost the lives of many Ethiopians and your policy recommendations mislead your government position in the region.
Tigray does not have a Zelensky but if it did this is what it would tell parliaments of the world.
Tigray world's worst conflict today. Tigrayans face mass starvation, ethnic cleansing, under total siege. Over 500k killed, over 5m starving, combined war displaced over 2.2m.
@TiborPNagyJr Your choice of words is deliberately to express your Ill intentions.Tigray is bleeding because of your failed professional recommendations to everyone. Stop fuelling the war to prove your purpose. Your actions are affecting peoples lives and jeopardising a nation.
