New campaign: #TigrayCantWait

Amidst the communication blackout + genocidal man-made famine, we are calling for:

- Public services to resume
- An end to the mass arrests of Tigrayans across Ethiopia
- Humanitarian aid to be delivered via an air bridge

Tigray is currently under siege.

Following the military defeat of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces, the Ethiopian federal government is working with Amhara and Eritrean forces to continue waging genocide on Tigrayan civilians in Tigray and across Ethiopia. #TigrayCantWait

Tigrayans in Ethiopia continue to lose their jobs, have their homes raided + face harassment due to their ethnicity.

In areas of Tigray not controlled by TDF, Tigrayans continue to be rounded up + moved to concentration camps in undisclosed locations, or to be massacred.

#TigrayCantWait as Tigrayans continue to have their bank accounts frozen, assets confiscated, and livelihoods destroyed - all to ensure that Tigrayans have no means of survival.

#TigrayCantWait as Amhara militia and Eritrean forces continue to carry out massacres in parts of Tigray that are not under the control of the Tigray Defense Forces.

#TigrayCantWait as the Ethiopian government continues to cut power and telecommunication in Tigray in order to:

- Hinder accurate reporting
- Propagate propaganda
- Commit atrocities in the dark
- Downplay the severity of the atrocities
- Limit humanitarian aid to all of Tigray

#TigrayCantWait as 30,000+ malnourished children, now in famine, risk dying in areas inaccessible by humanitarian aid workers in Tigray.

We're calling for:

- Verifiable withdrawal of Eritrean + Amhara forces
- Restoration of public services incl. telecommunications
- An end to the mass arbitrary arrests of Tigrayans + release of all detained based on their ethnicity incl. Tigrayan members of the ENDF
