Thread on General Bacha's presser: an attempt to dehumanize Tigrayans, our gov’t & defense forces so that fascists could execute #TigrayGenocide unbothered.

1. What Gen. Bacha did in his presser yesterday is what his manic boss @AbiyAhmedAli hyped since his ascension to power. Demonizing Tigrigna speakers with the intent of justifying their eventual extermination through mob justice & State discrimination.
2. Sweeping measures in purging thousands of ethnic Tigrayans from all federal offices have occurred. The @ifrc shall be given immediate access to monitor their inhumane detention conditions under military barracks.

1/5 It has been a week since I talked to my parents and siblings who live in #Tigray. Every morning I wake up, the first thing i do is pickup my phone and check the news on twitter, facebook and other outlets to know which cities in Tigray .@AbiyAhmedAli has cluster-bombed using
2/5 his warplanes. The #Ethiopia|n government has shutdown phone, internet services to the #Tigray region. But I still hopelessly call my mom's number. Imagine how difficult it is to not be able to check on your elderly parents while COVID-19 is ravaging the nation.
3/5 The #Ethiopian government has already closed all banks, cut all food-aid programs and blocked all transport mechanisms to the region. The suffering of those who need immediate medical attention and food-aid is unimaginable.

1. Ethiopia remains one of the largest recipient of humanitarian assistance in the world & now further exacerbated by disasters such as continuous infightings, #COVID19 pandemic, swarm of desert locust & climate induced crop failure.
2. Worse-off is the recent call for bloodshed by the grossly incompetent leadership of @AbiyAhmedAli. The nation is inching everyday into balkanization because of his shortsighted policies.

1. The war on #Tigray is not between the federal government & a rogue element in the North as @AbiyAhmedAli would have the world believe.
2. It is rather a conflict between an authoritarian, unitarist & ultra-nationalist fascist forces of dictator @AbiyAhmedAli coupled with President for life Isaias Afewerki of #Eritrea on the one hand, & pro-autonomy, pro-constitutional, multi-national federal forces on the other.

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”.
2. The recent military confrontation in #Tigray cannot be properly understood without making a reference to the underlying nature of & the alignment of forces in the already ongoing conflict dynamics all over #Ethiopia.

@BBCAfrica @CNN @BBGAfrica @ReutersAfrica @aljazeeraprdcr
1. We’ve learnt from credible sources that the tyrannical regime of @AbiyAhmedAli & his cronies are in a political & diplomatic charm offensive in galvanizing domestic & international partners so as to label Tigray’s ruling party, the TPLF, as a terrorist government.
#Ethiopia
2. It is a fact that the TPLF is the only legitimate party and government in Ethiopia that is in power with a renewed mandate to govern Tigray with more than 2.7 million people voting for it.
