There is only so much one can say about a complext crisis as the one

faces in a 3000-word piece, but here is an article that traces the systematic production of famine as part of the

campaign.

as a laboratory: a testing ground for two unprecedented experiments.

I watched this video last night, I rewatched it several times since then, and I can't imagine the depth of hate it takes to do something as evil.
It also reminded me of what Eritrean soldiers did to water wells and pumps in Tigray, a dryland where access to water means…
Watch: The Israeli occupation pours cement into the water springs in the Al-Hijrah area, south of Hebron, to block them and prevent Palestinians from using them in agriculture.
After 64 days, I finally managed to talk to someone who travelled on foot for 3 days to reach

On Friday,
@NTNU
(my university) held a beautiful Doctoral Awards ceremony for all Ph.D. fellows who finished during the last year. I was lucky to be part of this beautiful event. Sitting in the beautiful hall, I can't help but think about the length of that journey that I've
In this video, the Mayor of the city of Dire Dawa in Ethiopia, argues the Tigrayans "are worse than the devil himself & they should be exterminated, erased from the face of the earth".
He quotes verses from the Qur'an to justify the need for extermination.

We want a world where women and girls can live free from fear.
In every heartbeat.
With every breath.
At every step.

"Indifference elicits no response, Indifference is not a response. Indifference is not a beginning; it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor - never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he/she feels"

I will document, write & tell my kids, their children and more about what Ethiopia & Eritrea did to their grandparents.
We will document everything that happened to the millions of Tigrayan children, men and women.
We'll make sure that the stories of
#TigrayGenocide
live.
Southern Tigray faces the fate of Western Tigray. We are hearing that civilians in Alamata, Korem, and the broader Raya area are being massacred by Fano, the same ethnic militia that carried out the ethnic cleansing campaign in Western Tigray.

#TigrayGenocide
I am not Palestinian. I am Tigrayan. My people have been going through regime-led dehumanization, mass violence, and manmade famine for the last three years. About a million of my fellow Tigrayans have perished in a span of three years. That's why I cannot accept the…
I'm not Palestinian. I'm a ✡️✝️🇺🇸🇨🇭🇬🇧 mix. My people survived discrimination, poverty and the Holocaust, killing millions. I advocate for Palestine because the only protection we have from injustice and human rights abuses is human solidarity. In that way, I am Palestinian.

Why do
#PFDJ
supporters suddenly pretend to be concerned about Eritrean refugees in Tigray? Isn't it PFDJ why these refugees are in Tigray in the first place?
This week, my old man, my favourite man, my oldest friend, left us—just like that, a legend gone. My heart aches realizing that's it for us. Unseen goodbyes linger, a bittersweet ache.
Many thanks to all the people who reached out via DMs! ❤️
War is hell. I know what Ukrainians are going through today because I and my family are going through the same pain. Seeing the videos and photos from Ukraine today only reminds me of the horrors that
@AbiyAhmedAli
unleashed on Tigray and its people.
I want my account
@verified
for many reasons.
I know that posts by verified accounts (with blue ✅) like
@AbiyAhmedAli
's attract more attention and are considered more trusted even when they clearly post disinformation material. This is not fair and needs to be counted.
World: Why do the

fight back? Why don't they just give up & beg for

hypocrisy! Black people love freedom too!
Ethiopian Universities have become hell to Tigrayan students and employees. The killings and abuses continue.
Many Uni's have been turned into military training & staging grounds, and into breading grounds for extremely hateful and violence narratives against ethnic Tigrayans.
Tsigereda Girmai, a 2nd-year student of Arba Minch University was found dead, according to the uni. Tisgereda is Tigrayan, and other sources say she was stabbed to death. The Uni is a notorious supporter of the

This warning was ignored and close to a million people have been killed so far.
In the current state, human rights principles and laws are not "universal". There are large portions of the world where the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people mean nothing to the likes of…
#Tigray
is under a genocidal occupation. The end goal of this occupation is clear. It is to wipe out the people by all means. Ethiopian officials have been clear about this goal from the start.

The pain in her voice!
That's what happens when you meet the murderers of your loved ones face to face. It is shameful that the
@EU_Commission
allowed members of the Ethiopian genocidal regime to freely travel to Europe and to attend such an important summit.
There are very few things as ugly as
@BelgiumAddis
calling Meaza Ashenafi, a women who's overseeing
#TigrayGenocide
and the genocidal rape and sexual violence on Tigrayan women nd girls, "an African icon in the fight for women rights".
Imagine loading a plane full with the most lethal weapons that cost enormous amount of money and flying hundreds of kilometres to drop it on and kill an unsuspecting farming family in the middle of nowhere!
#Tigray
💔
Tens of thousands of Tigrayans are rounded up from their homes, workplaces & streets, kept in concentration camps where they are subjected to inhumane treatments until they almost no one could recognize them & then desplayed as Prisoners of War on national TV.

It's not an "airstrike" that "killed 50".
1. It's an airstrike by the Eritrean despot.
2. It's not one airstrike. Towns and villages are being indiscriminately bombed everyday and we've lost count of the people who're killed & wounded.
Resumed hostilities in northern Ethiopia are having a devastating impact on civilians. An airstrike killed over 50 people at a school and IDP site, violence has forced 340,000 people to flee in Afar and Tigray, and fighting makes it very difficult to reach people with assistance.
Words don't do justice in telling the pain and suffering in
#Tigray
, and the indifference and utter failure of the world. 💔
Concepts like humanity, international laws/community, human rights laws/norms and so on make no sense.
To the people of
#Tigray
:
I watch with aching heart as you commemorate the sacrifices of your heroes and heroines who lost their precious lives protecting Tigray at the battlefield or for simply being at home, and I grieve with you. 💔
As you go through this excruciating…
Here is an example of one of the fruits of
@AbiyAhmedAli
calls for violence against ethnic Tigrayans in Ethiopia. The making of

in Gonder.
"Tigrayans should be placed in concentration camps" the guy concludes and everyone around him cheers and ululates.
People who have "Black Lives Matter" on your profiles, you don't mean it.
You're saying it because it is a cool thing to say at this time in history.
You've nothing to say about the suffering of people in
#Tigray
,
#Congo
, and black people everywhere.
European officials and the
@EU_Commission
knew what's happening in
#Tigray
is genocide since early 2021.
The
@StateDept
knows what's happening in Tigray is genocide from the beginning. They did nothing to stop it.
Same with the
@UN
and its agencies.
#GenocideAwarenessDay
Three years ago on this day, Eritrean soldiers carried out one of the worst massacres of the

in the historic city of
#Axum
.
For 24 hours, soldiers went on a door-to-door campaign killing hundreds of the city'sresidents.
I haven't talked to anyone in my family for 181 days.
How would you feel if you haven't talked to your loved ones for this long? Worse, how would you feel if you knew there's a catastrophic famine in the places they live and their settlements are indiscriminately being bombed?
This
@AbiyAhmedAli
supporter and one of the "intellectual" leaders of the
#TigrayGenocide
campaign is outraged, not by the massacres and pillaging in Tigray, but by the fact that evidences (videos filmed by the genocidal soldiers) are not being hidden.
Moral of the story👇, never praise weapons of violence or violence of any form.
Never celebrate the killings of unsuspecting children, men and women. Never support genocidal campaigns.
I strongly condemn the heinous and cowardly drone attacks this morning targeting innocent civilians. The loss of civilian lives in Finteselam and Bure,
#Amhara
region, lays bare the desperation of the Abiy regime. The popular uprising is a consequence of decades of atrocities,…
I want Oromos, Tigrayans, Somalis, Benishanguls, Agews, Wolaitas, and others to negotiate on how to bring the empire down, not to save it. We need to talk.

Every time I talk with my brother, he tells me he loves me & goes "ሚምዋይ ዛትምርትኺ ሓደራ" My family has been supportive & proud throughout my whole life. Tomorrow I will do my defense, hearing them would have made so much difference. 💙

#300DaysOfTigrayGenocide
I have not talked to my parents for more than 260 days. The last time I talked to my parents was on the 10th of June 2021 and they were displaced as our home was under the occupation of the genocidal Eritrean army.
Imagine not hearing from your parents for that long.
Focus on the people of
#Tigray
.
Advocate for ending the siege, accountability to crimes and justice.
Focus on the release of the tens of thousands of Tigrayans held in concentration camps.
I have been trying to reach my family members in
#Mekelle
for the 16 hrs, to no avail. Who knows why😨
Plus, please! Mekelle is not all that
#Tigray
is. Tigray is home to millions of people whose whereabouts we know nothing of.

We know
@AbiyAhmedAli
is planning to bomb Tigray starting from today. A foreign UN worker in Addis tells me that the UN is aware of the plans and it has even cancelled its flights to
#Mekelle
. Yet, the
@UNEthiopia
doesn't even bother to tell Tigrayan civilians to take shelter.
On this hour three years ago, I heard that something unusual was going on in Mekelle, Tigray. The person on the other end of the chat told me that they could hear the sounds of gunshots. Few minutes latter, the lines went off to never return until months after.
Few hours…
This is the genocidal regime's right arm which is funded by the
@EUinEthiopia
and other self-proclaimed bodies to help covere up the horrors in Tigray.
.
@EthioHRC
wishes to clarify that, as stated in the 2nd thematic report on IDPs, the geog scope doesn’t cover Tigray bc it was still inaccessible during the preparation. We will continue to collaborate with the IRA to clear the unfortunate misinformation.
My plea to
@reda_getachew
,
@ProfKindeya
,
@TigrayEAO
and others.
Allow and facilitate broad-based debates & devise a way out of this crisis.
Nobody, I mean NO ONE, is coming to save
#Tigray
& its people. We are on our own.

@TwitterSafety
needs to step up moderating its Amharic side today. The level of incitement hatred and calls violence against Tigrayans in the country today is on extraordinary. The risk of Tigrayans facing increased levels of mob violence is very high.
