. @PowerUSAID talking about a powerful remark by a rep of a government that continues to use all its power and whatever help it can get externally to starve millions under a siege. The equivalent of powerful remarks by Sadam Hussien’s UN rep on the impacts of chemical weapons.

Powerful remarks from Ethiopia’s UN Ambassador @TayeAtske at today’s @UNOCHA event on the hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa: "There is no greater agony than begging for food." "We are faced with the reality that we take food from the hungry and give it to the starving."

Victims of mass arrest of people hailing from #Tigray all over #Ethiopia are being shown as POWs by #AbiyAhmed ’s state media and his Prosperity Party's media. People in social media are identifying their family members and friends on screen. This is just one example of the 1/2

Taye Atsikeselassie at the UNSC today mentioning 1991 as time where #Ethiopia 's problem with #TPLF started while he was serving under the same ' #TPLF regime' for the whole period of 27 years tells a lot more about him and his likes than what he is just saying...... ይብላኝ!

#Tigray ’s mistake is taking the international community seriously. The survival of millions of Tigrayans who are dying in huge numbers through bombing, indiscriminate massacres & weaponized starvation under #Ethiopian & #Eritrean forces now squarely rests on Tigray Defense Forces

Months ago I was in the same meeting with @seleshi_b_a on the #GERD . I was in the leadership of alliance for #GERD & asked him why #Ethiopia abandoned #CFA . Then we were both fighting for 110 million people based on truth. He is now fighting for #AbiyAhmed based on lies. Sad!

For those in the social sciences, a good research topic: the role of clerico-fascists from the #Ethiopian orthodox and protestant churches in #TigrayGenocide . A lot to draw on the literature from inter-war #Europe . Below are some of the prominent figures of the two camps.

The same West that gave #AbiyAhmed the #NobelPeacePrize for nonexistent peace in 2019 is doing everything in 2022 to go easy on him even if that directly means millions perishing and being starved to death under the longest siege in modern history. #TigrayGenocide

In #Mexico …. #Tigray ’s flag flew high following the request from enthusiastic #Tigrayans who took the chance to ask for an opportunity of celebrating the 47th anniversary of the launch of #Tigray ’s second armed struggle on Feb 18 1975 in a symbolic manner.

#EskinderNega didn’t spend time before he joins the despicable genocide-philic noise in #Ethiopia days after his release from prison. He sounds like he wants to make up for his not taking part actively from start of the unspeakable atrocities committed as part of #TigrayGenocide .
