I’m sorry WHAT? An embarrassingly catastrophic man-made famine unfolding under your watch @UNReliefChief @antonioguterres . And the @UN in Ethiopia announces they’re ‘diverting’ funds to other regions?? This is how you’ll lose the world’s trust. #TigrayGenocide #UNGeneralAssembly

Tonight I spoke to a neighbour on my street here in Toronto about #TigraySiege leading to #TigrayFamine . She had no idea and she was appalled, “I gave money to Ethiopia for years. Everyone, everywhere was fundraising for famine relief.” She’s right! @melaniejoly @Rob_Oliphant /1
