On its face this tweet confirms the authenticity of the meeting between Amnesty International and well known public apologists for the TPLF including @MartinPlaut and the @WorldPeaceFdtn's Alex de Waal.
He says the meeting was "held a year ago" - suggesting it did take place.

@martinplaut @WorldPeaceFdtn If it took place - "a year ago" = April 2021 - as he suggests, then it took place during the period that Amnesty and HRW was likely conducting field research for their report in Tigray - as it wasn't till around then that it was possible for NGOs to get access.
Initial research for the Amnesty report was conducted in Sudan refugee camps, of witnesses many of whom may well have been perpetrators of the #MaikadraMassacre
These witnesses had ample opportunity to align their stories with each other and intimidate other potential witnesses.

This is the single most egregious factual error in the deeply flawed @Amnesty @HRW, but it is not the worst of it. Worst bits include:
- Their minimisation of #MaikadraMassacre based on TPLF witness stations

@amnesty @hrw - Conclusions designed for headlines about ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity which are not supported by the evidence in the report.
- the failure to conduct any on the ground research inside Wolkait before releasing the report. There was no reason to release the report when they did - and in doing so they may well have poisoned the well for them to complete their own research.
So when is this @amnesty @hrw @twitterspace being held on their atrociously flawed report into Wolkayit being released.
I would like to listen and need the link.

Ok… here it is. I would encourage followers to submit questions asking them about their flawed methodology, poor background research, dodgy conclusions, absurd findings on #MaikadraMassacre and nonsense numbers wrt displaced Tegaru.
It starts in an hour and a half it seems.

Gaslighting is not a new invention; it has been used successfully to justify slavery, colonialism and racism to the victims themselves and now in 2021 it is being used with little subtlety to break the spirit of #Ethiopia.
2/ As part of the strategy, black journalists and politicians are being co-opted as faces of this campaign to further undermine the legitimacy of the grievance of millions of #Ethiopians who know beyond a shadow of doubt that a coordinated campaign is being employed against them.
Thread on @CNN
#CNNwhereTruthGoes2Die
@mekdes_asefa has done a great job of exposing CNN's bias against #Ethiopia & a possible direct line of communication with Getachew Reda himself. This thread will highlight this & other aspects of CNN's #InformationLaundering activities.

1/ For this thread I focused on 45 articles produced by CNN since November 4. @nimaelbagir was involved in 20 of these articles followed closely by @bethlehemfel. Unsurprisingly, all the @CNN articles I looked into were highly negative in their coverage of GOE.
Only one articles coveres the alleged misdeeds of #TPLF. The article by @bethlehemfel, @eoin_mc_sweeney, covered the #MaikadraMassacre as reported by @amnesty but conveniently left out parts of the report identifying the victims & perpetrators.
#InformationLaundering thread focusing on Cara Anna of @AP.
1/If there is a prize for #InformationLaundering, it would definitely go to Cara Anna of @AP. Miss Anna seems determined that the Tigray conflict is her ticket to a Pulitzer.

2/ Since the beginning of the conflict on November 4, @AP has produced 86 articles on #Ethiopia. Of these 86 articles, Cara Ana is responsible for a whopping 60% (51 articles). I randomly selected and analyzed 26 of her articles.
3/ All of her articles (100%!!!), portray the GoE negatively and 13 were sympathetic towards #TPLF. The remaining 10 articles conveniently leave out #TPLF out of the picture giving an appearance of the #Ethiopian government waging a war against the Tigrayan people.
This 2019 article, written a year before the ethnofascist #TPLF launched war on #Ethiopia, exposes the rampant #rape &sexual violence that #women of #Tigray suffered from the rapist TPLF gang. The defeated criminal TPLF "men" are continuing their rape now!

2) In this video clip from 2018 brodacast of #Tigray's DW-TV, a #Tigrayan woman recounts the horrible mysogynistic culture in Tigray under #TPLF, where #rape & sexual violence against Tigray's #women is a commonplace occurence, & 60% of Tigrayan womem are victims of rape.

3) #Tigrayan feminist @meazaG_, speaking to #TigrayMediaHouse in 2019, over a year before the war, explained the horrific level of #rape in #Tigray's society. She said men regularly kick & oppress women every night.Tigray ppl were victims of #TPLF. #TPLFcrimes

1/ Sad to see @HabenGirma, an otherwise intelligent young woman whom I have had the honor of meeting at the #Eritrea|n Festival in Oakland in 2015, fall for the anti-#Eritrea #TPLFlies by @amnesty. There's no "#AxumMassacre". There's #MaiKadraMassacre. Learn the facts. #Ethiopia
