Did you know that it is not possible to revoke a #NobelPeacePrize even if one is no longer worthy of the honor? Imagine #Hitler was awarded the #NobelPrize, he would still keep his prize after the #Holocaust. I think this is flawed and unscientific! bit.ly/370k0uV

That's not a far-fetched example. Something extraordinary is happening in front of our eyes. The #Tigray region of #Ethiopia is on the edge of genocide at the hands of the 2019 #NobelLaureate @AbiyAhmedAli. #TigrayGenocide

You may not have heard or seen much of the atrocities Abiy is committing. This is because there's a complete communication blackout in #Tigray. Abiy has shut down the #Internet and blocked roads so no independent reporters are on the ground.

As a result of this #war, tens of thousands of people have fled from #Tigray into neighboring #Sudan. Abiy has blocked humanitarian access to 2.3 million children who need humanitarian assistance. Thousands of people are dying.

The #AfricanUnion offered to mediate. Ironically, the man who was awarded a #NobelPrize for peace, doesn't accept dialogue as a means to solve his political differences. Instead, he uses this prize as a license to kill and bomb innocent civilians.

In his latest move, he has declared 'no mercy' to civilians in #Mekelle the capital city of the #Tigary region home to more than half a million people.

@AbiyAhmedAli is not worthy of any honor! The international community should put more pressure on this dictator to stop the genocide. @_AfricanUnion @UN @NobelPrize #AU #UN
