#COVID_SSA Update #Ethiopia - 13 weeks into their 2nd wave. 7,107 new cases last week, one-third⬇️on week 60. So it could be peaking🙏but caution indicated THREAD 1/8 @EPHIEthiopia @abebawfekadu @EthiopianNomad 
Caution 1 - cases are falling in Ethiopia, but so are the number of tests performed. The test +ve proportion (>20%) remains much too high overall 2/8
Caution 2 - regional data issued by @EPHIEthiopia (latest to 18/4/21) indicates that while incidence *may* have peaked in #Addis it is rising in most other regions (having taken off later) 3/8
Among many outrageous claims a Tigrean wrote: “Ethiopians oppose development projects in Tigray, & is 1 of z main reasons 4 z war on Tigray today. “ He should have said #TPLF neglected development projects in #Tigray because it chose to steal money earmarked 4 Tigray development
“in many ways, z Ethio-Eritrea war of 1998-2000 was a Tigray-Eritrea war”, TRUE, except z price was paid by lives of 135K #Oromos &other Ethiopians while #TPLF made a bundle by swindling #Ethiopia from arms purchase schemes, aid & stealing wealth of Eritrean-Ethiopian deportees.
“EPLF ... blocked z route to Sudan that Tigrayans were using to escape the[84-85] famine and civil war.” What author doesn’t mention is #TPLF had broken ties with #EPLF as early as 1983 and #TPLF, according @BBCAfrica documentary, was selling Aid agencies sacks of sand for grain.

1. The #WarOnTigray, as the Oromo public intellectual @awolallo rightly put it in his latest appearance on @AJENews, is ''an extension of the war that @AbiyAhmedAli has been prosecuting in places like Oromia”.
#Ethiopia: Federal attorney general pressed charges against 100 people including former #Hawassa city Mayor Tewodros Gebiba & Administrator of #Sidama Zone Aklilu Adula, accusing them of instigating the recent inter-communal violence in Hawassa & environs fanabc.com/2018/08/%e1%8b…
Update: Both Twedros & Aklilu resigned from their position on July 05th in the wake of weeks of inter-communal violence in #Hawassa & environs which targeted ethnic #Wolayitas. The victims have directly implicated senior officials of the region 👇👇
Update: The Fed Atto. General filled the charges against the accused at the #Hawassa high court, exercising its jurisdiction to press charges on behalf of the Federal First Instance Court. Former Hawassa city prison police head & five employees of the prison are also charged.
