This Ashenda season, we sing while we mourn, we dance through the pain - knowing we’re all we got. We refuse to break, be silenced, or forget who we are. We’ll reclaim our joy, our songs, & our colors. We’ll forever remember those we lost & the betrayal we suffered.

If tears could create an ocean, the crying of Tigrayan civilians would have created one.

#Tigray in #Ethiopia is facing a man-made famine due to the siege by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces. There’s nowhere in the world that more than 6 million people are sealed off for 20 months and counting. This must end. arte.tv/fr/videos/109207-000…

I was invited to co-host a reception for Ethiopian Finance Minister Ahmed Shide and Ethiopian Ambassador Fitsum Arega.
I declined. I will not break bread with a Minister of a government that has used a food blockade to kill thousands of civilians.

The US is very generous. Unfortunately, when it comes to enacting Bills to implement concrete actions in Africa, Congress is extremely slow. A good example is Ukraine vs Tigray. Nevertheless, do not give up hope. Keep pushing Congress to do the right thing. Justice will prevail.

Ethiopia’s shifting narratives of its war on #Tigray:
*November 2020: LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATION
*June 2021: OPERATION NATIONAL SURVIVAL
*July 2021: WAR AGAINST THE WEST
Now: BLACK AFRICAN NATIONS vs COLONIALISTS
The truth: A GENOCIDAL WAR AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF TIGRAY.

Today marks 1 year since the genocidal war on Tigray began. While this past year has been mired with grief and tragedy, Tigrayans across the world have been resilient beyond measure. We are in awe of you, Deki Tigray. #1YearOfTigrayGenocide #CallItAGenocide

The blockade in #Tigray is causing extreme human suffering. Banks are closed, preventing people from accessing money to buy food. Communications are cut. And fuel is running out, shutting down flour mills, water pumps & medical services. #StopTigrayFamine buff.ly/3yU7ZUq

Last week: bodies. Bound, gagged, executed bodies.
This week: executions of soldiers who were detained and tried “en masse”
The unifying element: their ethnicity.
If this isn’t genocide, what is? Call it a genocide.

Small children are among those held amid a new wave of detentions of ethnic Tigrayans suspected of supporting Tigray forces in Ethiopia’s growing war. In an interview with The AP, a detainee describes grim conditions for more than 700 people at a camp. apne.ws/Lg6ZPgv

A group of roughly 100 international NGOs say the deadly attack on @MSF_EastAfrica staff amounts to a war crime under international humanitarian law. These brave souls were working tirelessly to help those in need.

UN Human Rights Chief @mbachelet is outraged at the brutal murder of three @MSF humanitarian workers in #Tigray, Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Humanitarian and human rights workers are civilians and as such #NotATarget.
Perpetrators must be held accountable.

All of NRC is mourning with our colleagues in MSF. The murder of their humanitarian workers that came to Tigray to help people in great need is nothing short of war crimes. Those responsible must be brought to justice.
Today we are in mourning after receiving confirmation of the death of three of our colleagues who we were working in #Tigray. Maria Hernandez, emergency coordinator, Yohannes Halefom Reda, assistant coordinator & Tedros Gebremariam Gebremichael, driver.

Prime Minister Abiy doubling down today, as he starts using the election as a way to claim a stronger mandate.
“There is no hunger in Tigray” is a straight out lie, and an awful one at that.
