I was never taught to discriminate based on race, religion or class. In Ethiopia today they are eradicating Ethnic Tigrayans, killing off Tigrayan priests and religious leaders & stopping humanitarian aid to control the working class peasants. Shameful. #StopWarOnTigray

I don’t care if you don’t want to hear it. There is no Amhara, Tigrayan, Oromo nor any other Ethiopian citizen that will benefit from endless warfare. At one point you have to understand and ask yourself, what am I fighting for ? If it’s not survival then it’s not worth it.
