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.
3. All recent activities of Gen. Bacha and Abebaw make it clear that they are stooges in sensationalizing a revenge mission of @AbiyAhmedAli sponsored ethnic cleansing.
4. Rushed conclusion that recent instabilities within the country are attributable to TPLF without independent & impartial investigation are just a recipe for genocide with full intent.
Gen. Bacha, fascist @AbiyAhmedAli & their cronies wouldn’t, however, bother to double check what they feed the public because all they want is to exterminate Tigrayans & anything is justifiable as long as it serves the purpose. No regard given to intern’l norms & laws whatsoever.
6. The religious & social fabric of the people of Tigray will never allow it to commit any of the fabrications Gen. Bacha alleged. In fact, there could not be any better witness than himself as a former prisoner of war to attest how Tigrayans value humanity. #StopWarOnTigray
7. It is for the good treatments he received that he is now alive &, unfortunately, paying back Tigray with a round of bullets.
8. Gen. Bacha did a great favor to the people of Tigray in publicly admitting that ' Tigrayans [it] belong and shall rot in hell'. This is the policy the banditry of @AbiyAhmedAli kept propagating ever since he took power.
9. This is why the democratically elected government of Tigray has deciphered long ago that the attempt this group aimed is to wipeout Tigrayans from earth.

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.
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.
Contrary to what is transpired by @AbiyAhmedAli & his mouthpiece media outlets, Abiy declared war on #Tigray because Tigray is the only region in #Ethiopia
1. To hold election as per the 🇪🇹n constitution exposing the unconditional extension of power by Abiy Ahmed. #SayNoToWar
To those who want us to take @AbiyAhmedAli ‘s recent cheap political ploy seriously, we say no for so many reasons including: 1/n
Because Abiy waged war on Tigray the minute he blocked foreign investment in our land. Right when he failed to reopen the road blockade or when he aided & abetted it resulting in record level inflation in the region that made life unbearable for the already impoverished public2/n
When he went off on his selective prosecution raid only on Tegaru public figures. When he chose not to trial suspects involved in the June 22/2019 assassination of General Seare Mekonnen, Chief of staff of the National defense Forces of Ethiopia, & Major General Gezai Abera. 3/n
