AEPAC is pleased to see the strength of feeling from so many organizations calling for the reinstatement of two whistleblowers to the @UN . The International community risks alienating #Ethiopia by taking sides in the conflict.

The @guardian consistently fail to share an accurate picture of the conflict in #Ethiopia . The humanitarian aid challenge is not just a Tigray issue, it now affects many regions across the North of Ethiopia - most profoundly in Afar and Amhara. (1/4)
