For more than a year and a half, a largely invisible campaign of ethnic cleansing has played out in Ethiopia’s northern region of Tigray - ”Ethiopia’s Invisible Ethnic Cleansing”
Sat down today with

plays an essential role in preventing and responding to deadly conflicts – and I'm endlessly grateful for their work and partnership.
IDPs with special needs who fled the ethnic cleansing campaign in western Tigray by Amahara forces and militias suffer from a lack of medicines and food.
“People with special needs require special attention, even in times of conflicts.”

: Ethiopian troops are crossing to Eritrea in order to join EDF as they attack Tigray yet again from another front.
The int’l community must condemn such a development & take immediate measures to avert further destabilization of the Horn.

🧵 Fresh Mass Detentions of Tigrayans in Addis Ababa
The regime has upped its mass detention of Tigrayans. Earlier, the regime rounded up civilian Tigrayans & paraded them as PoWs. Recently, a dangerous propaganda has been being framed that the fighters of OLA are Tigrayans 1/n

We remain gravely concerned by Eritrea’s involvement in the conflict in northern Ethiopia and reports that the Eritrean government has committed human rights abuses, including against children. Those responsible must be held accountable.

Children with special needs in Tigray suffer due to the siege
“I'm so hungry I need injera, but there is not. What can I possibly eat? My mother can't provide me with food. I'm about to turn 10 & need a wheelchair. I must get medical attention as soon as possible”
#EndTigraySiege
And those calculations are horrific. Over 200,000 people in Tigray that lost their lives since the war started, just because of hunger. Just because food wasn't allowed to reach them. Children like Surafeal, Aden, Letebirhan. For what did they have to die?
This is my 3rd time trying to watch this video & I've still only made it to 5 mins. The doctor talking about how the world "just watches us" while people are dying. I just don't understand how this has gone on for this long with no action from the world.

loan of about 680.000 liters of fuel for your trucks. As per the their priorities, they terminated the loan. Would you care to rephrase your condemnation - or allow for indep. investigation?
Enemy forces are attacking from Fiqya Gebre to Ademeyti; from Selamo to Sheraro; from Gobo Tsin’at to Irda Matheos & AdiAser; and heavy shelling from Afi Goshu. Our gallant forces are defending their positions.

@DrTedros
Ethiopian forces and their allies pillaged businesses, hospitals, banks, livestock, and harvests, leaving the region dependent on assistance. The impact of this destruction has been devastating. It has prevented

people from getting basic service’s.

@POTUS
@VP
Many have asked about ongoing trial for restoration of communication services to Tigray by the Addis Regime
#Ethiopia
. That is not true. If there is a will, it is a matter of switching it on. Nevertheless, denial of basic services is used as war weapon to subjugate by the regime.
“We need someone to help us - everyone knows there is a big problem. They are just talking about the problem, not the solution.
People are dying every day, every minute..they just watch us.”

Ethiopia refused the UN investigation team access to Tigray so instead this delegation of special envoys went and issued a statement politely asking for immediate access, meanwhile the govt's genocidal campaign in the region continues uninterrupted.
