A War to Exterminate the Tigraian People #Tigray
The @NobelPrize recipient @AbiyAhmedAli junta's and Isaias' war on Tigrai is to exterminate the #Tigraian people and it is on all fronts. Abiy Ahmed has shut down the internet, telephone and electric lines to Tigrai.

Roads have been blocked since he came to power. He has denied Tigrai locust-fighting and Covid-19 protection tools and funds, and cut budget and safety-net funds. That is to starve and kill as many Tigraians as possible.

Now, Abiy Ahmed is air bombing Mekelle. He has dispatched a human-wave of Amhara militias to Western Tigrai on the promise that they will be given Tigraian lands.
He has expelled Tigraians from any Ethiopian institutions. 3
Since before yesterday, he has expelled Tigraians from the military, the intelligence and the federal police. He has also prohibited Tigraians anywhere in the country from traveling. At airports, Tigraians are singled and told they are not allowed to fly even outside the country.
Make no mistake: this is a war on the Tigraian people, a war to exterminate them from the face of the earth. It is important to remember that Abiy Ahmed's media, ESAT, called "the 95% of Ethiopians to exterminate the 5% [Tigraians]".
The founder of that ESAT, Berhanu Nega is now Abiy Ahmed's best friend and advisor and a leader of EZEMA, a shadow PP party that has expressed its happiness on the start of the war on Tigrai. This is a war to exterminate the Tigraian people and we shall call it by its name.

Genocide against Tigraians is ripe in Ethiopia. There is a long history of hate preaching against Tigraians. There is a huge Amharic literature likening Tigraians to the jews of Germany and calls for "Ethiopians" to take lessons from "Nazi heroic extermination techniques".
Abiy Ahmed is in the network of people that call for the extermination of Tigraians, ala the jews of Germany. It is important to remember that Abiy Ahmed's media, ESAT, called "the 95% of Ethiopians to exterminate the 5% [Tigraians]".
