It seems #Ethiopia promises of #humanitarian access to #Tigray still not in effect, according to reports. Why the delay? With so many already at threshold of death, every hour that passes with no relief means scores more actually perish. Raising & dashing hope is form of torture

Today’s genocides as in #Tigray aren’t done Nazi or Rwanda style. Those who think genocide is typified by mass graves have seriously outdated understanding. They shd refresh their knowledge of Genocide Convention which doesn’t talk of piles of bodies but of types of acts & intent

The pattern of #Ethiopia behaviour since beginning of the #Tigray war indicates very high degree of pre-meditation, advance planning & orchestration. It also indicates its intention to win regardless of human costs on all sides and, as such, does not bode well for peace-seeking
