#TPLFTerrorisGroup has made it a habit to falsely accuse the Ethiopian and Eritrean Governments of targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure by drone attacks.
On September 27, the TPLF also claimed that an airstrike by the Eritrean Government at the same site in Adi-Daero killed and wounded numerous civilians.
@UNGeneva is reliving the tragic end of #LeagueOfNations. About 90 years ago, #Ethiopia was unforgettably betrayed by the #West when invaded by #Italy.
Now, #UN is sponsoring disintegration of 🇪🇹 by helping a #terrorist with its malicious agencies alongside #US

And @WhiteHouse is calling upon its ultimate hand @UNGeneva's #SecurityCouncil to intimidate #Ethiopia.
Well, the world especially #Africa is watching. No country in #Africa misses that the same would happen when they stand for their people.
@UNGeneva is being tested & failing.

@WFP_Ethiopia, @UNICEFEthiopia & @USAIDEthiopia did all the despicable vicious conspiracies to help #TPLFTerroristGroup kill, commit #massacre, render millions into #IDPs and mainly dismantle #Ethiopia. All of these is happening under #UN's watch.
There're about 1000 #Irob #IDPs in Mekelle & about 20,000 in Adigrat & Wurko. They’re farmers, most’ve never been this far away from their homes, they don’t know the system & language barriers added, most of them have been lost & remain helpless.1/ @UNOCHA @OCHA_Ethiopia @ICRC
They've been living on the shoulders of relatives for 8 months.A family is hosting 5-10 IDPs since the war, making the already bad situation for families worse b/s there's not enough space nor supply for all of them in a given family. 2/ @WFP_Ethiopia @EthioRedCross @CARE @USAID
In her recent trip to #Tigray @selamina_a met with #IDPs who have been displaced & are in critical situations. Irob #IDPs have remained w/o aid & access to IDP centers for months.They would have been starved if it was not for thier fellow Irobs in Mekelle 3/ @Refugees @OmnaTigray
1/4 The #Houthi militias' offensive in #Marib is an imminent threat not only to the peace process but most importantly to more than 2 million #IDPs in Yemen. This community fled the brutality of the rebels to have a life, which is why Marib alone hosts 60% of #IDPs across Yemen
2/4 Renewed large-scale Houthi attacks on #Marib, the largest home to #IDPs, puts hundreds of thousands IDPs under serious threat of another displacement. In other words, the Iranian-backed escalation will displace non-combatants who were already displaced by the #Houthi rebels.
3/4 Over the past 2 weeks, renewed Houthi violence deliberately shelled 4+ IDP camps in Marib to increase civilian damage, displacing more than 6000 IDPs & shutting down several #IDP camps. This once again affirms their deep-rooted disrespect for human lives & innocent civilians.

“all people from Besober, Ulaga, Bala, Chamaro, Hawelti and May Mekden kebeles were displaced due to the conflict. #IDPs and the affected communities lost their belongings, mainly household items, food stock, jewelry, & cash. Most of those belongings were looted or destroyed 2/20
According to the regional authorities in #Mekelle, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟰.𝟱 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 currently require some sort of humanitarian assistance... In Alamata and nearby areas only, about 𝟳𝟵𝟮,𝟱𝟬𝟬 require urgent food assistance. 3/20
1/ Acknowledging the critical role of #SocialProtection (SP) in preventing people from falling into poverty & food insecurity as a consequence of the #COVID19 crisis, countries in the #MENA region have implemented a variety of SP measures.
2/ The Regional UN Issue-Based Coalition on Social Protection (IBC-SP), which includes @iloarabstates, @UNDPArabStates, @UNICEFmena & @UNESCWA, along w/ other #UN agencies, partnered with the @IPC_IG to take stock of the first phase of responses. See bit.ly/30ZNfML.
3/ Certain groups in #MENA are particularly vulnerable: about 2/3 of the pop. work in the #InformalSector, with limited access to SP. #Refugees and #IDPs face overcrowded living conditions and insufficient WASH and health services, many are dependent on UN agencies for SP.
Northeast #Syria - home to an energized #ISIS insurgency, 10,00 ISIS prisoners & tens of thousands of #IDPs - not feeling the brunt of the #coronavirus pandemic

Here is a briefing for all those "impressed" by the #tearsandswindle enacted by #LittleNapoleon in this clip in Calabar yesterday. It's not the 1st time: On 17 Jan 2017, @ben_ayade announced abolition of all forms of taxation for low-income earners in Cross River state.
According to his spokesman, Christian Ita, @ben_ayade made the order after signing the 2017 budget of the state into law, saying: “I am sounding the last warning that henceforth I don’t want to hear any1 who earns less than N50, 000 a month being taxed in any form in the state."
On that occasion, @ben_ayade also cried. But if he had occasion to "abolish" again in May 2020, the same taxes he had abolished with the same words & tears in 2017, it is because the 2017 abolition didn't work & the 2020 abolition won't work. Let's stick with the tears 1st....
OK. Here we go. #ICJ Provisional Measures Order #TheGambia v #Myanmar #Rohingya #Genocideconvention Judge Sebutinde - not on the bench.
- Background of application - omitting procedural history etc.
- Background of application - omitting procedural history etc.
Reference to #Rohingya group that self-identifies as Rohingya; prima facie jurisdiction need not be definitive as to merits of the case - art 36(1) ICJ Statute & Art 9 Genocide Convention - this needs to be satisfied first
Parties to GC - no reservation to art 9 by Myanmar but to art 6 & 8; no reservations of Gambia; “dispute” exists where hold “clearly opposite views” re performance/non-performance of obligations;one party maintains dispute, other denies it. Therefore compromissory clause comes in

Rebirth of a Nigerian town after being recaptured from #BokoHaram. #Banki was recaptured by #Nigeria military in 2015. Since then it has become a haven for IDPs and has a new Nigerian military outpost. goo.gl/maps/R45XsXSiy…
Operational needs see #Banki's main intersection doubling as a helicopter landing pad near military structures.
The #Nigeria town's defenses against #BokoHaram attacks have been increased with a deep trench perimeter since 2017. This is more prominent in the area where a #refugee camp has been expanded for #IDPs.
