Banner at Ethiopian military parade today in a message to Eritrea:
“Whether they love us or hate us, we will not live landlocked.”
Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed was present at the parade.

Today in Addis Ababa, I was honored to meet with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to reaffirm the enduring partnership between our nations. We emphasized the importance of Ethiopia's engagement with its neighbors and its role in fostering peace and regional stability, a key priority of President Trump. We also discussed a range of commercial opportunities that advance mutual prosperity for the United States and Ethiopia.

Emperor Menelik II's reign was drenched in blood and marked by pogroms.
In Oromia, Menelik's army butchered Oromos and laid the region to waste.
They gouched out eyes, cut off breasts, speared pregnant women.
The Fano's imperial blood lust fits a long established pattern.

We are glad to announce that S.Res.669 was voted on and successfully passed out of Committee. Those that use hunger as a weapon of war should remember Charles Taylor, Slobodan Milošević, and the long list of despots who thought they could outlast justice. @POTUS @AsstSecStateAF
S.Res.669 (Condemning the use of hunger as a weapon of war) will be considered before the @SFRCdems @SenateForeign. S.Res.669 calls on @POTUS to hold accountable those, for example, @AbiyAhmedAli & Afwerki, that use hunger as a weapon of war. We fully expect S.Res.669 to pass.

Hopelessness, self-pity, and doubt have no place in our struggle. Your brothers & sisters have taken up arms to defend Oromia. None of the immense hardship or loss they have faced has dissuaded them from this mission, it has rather hardened their resolve. Jabeessaa!

#Ethiopia'n politician Dawud Ibsa has been under house arrest without being charged since 3 May 2021. The police haven't allowed anyone to enter or leave his residence since - not even to bring food. @MoP_Ethiopia, either charge Dawud or release him now. amnesty.org/en/documents/afr…

.@WFPChief:
3️⃣ things are needed to prevent hunger from claiming millions of lives in #Tigray:
➡️ A ceasefire
➡️ An unimpeded access for @WFP and partners to all areas
➡️ The money to expand operations to meet needs of the growing numbers of people

I look forward to continued work with @SecBlinken to urge the Ethiopian government to fulfill its public commitments, open humanitarian access, and reach a political solution to this conflict.

🇮🇹 Italy adheres to the international appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire in #Tigray: Civilian population must be protected, agricultural activities must be facilitated and humanitarian access must be allowed to ensure food security to all Ethiopian people. – at Ethiopia

A PERSONAL APPEAL (short thread)
If you are #Afric/an and/or #Africanist, PLEASE read this & tag or pass on to another #African/Africanist so no one can say they didn’t know.
The civilian population of #Tigray region of northern #Ethiopia is being massacred, humiliated, starved!

Next week, first ICC hearings on Darfur crimes will begin. Case of “Janjaweed” militia leader important first step for victims deprived of justice for too long. Now, ball in the court of #Sudan’s authorities to handover other key suspects. New @HRW

#Ethiopia's designation of the TPLF (Tigray) and the OLA (Oromia) as terrorist organizations is ill advised. Instead, the tendency should be toward amnesty and reconciliation. Ethiopia appears to be drifting to its traditional curse: hegemony of a single ethnic group.
