#AbiyAhmedAli and Eritrean forces are using heavy artilleries and drones to kill Tigrayan civilians indiscriminately on a daily basis. The same forces are looting public and private properties in Tigray. 2/

Despite the total blackout, people on the ground are trying to report the facts as they see them.  3/

#AbiyAhmedAli, while seating hundreds miles away, denies non of that has happened.4/

International media and nongovernmental organizations have fallen into Abiy’s conspiracy and say they could not verify either side’s stories since AbiyAmhedAli has denied them visiting Tigray. 5/

It is then highly unreasonable and unfair - the credibility of people who witness the facts from the ground are treated on the same level with people who deny the eyewitnesses’ accounts from several hundred miles away.6/

Would not it be morally & ethically right to give benefit of the doubt to the people who are on the ground - especially when the people who are denying the eyewitnesses’ stories are the same people who cut off communication so that they can commit crimes in the dark?7/

Would not it be morally & ethically right and a commonsense to say the burden of proof is with the people who are waging the war and committing heinous crimes in the dark?8/

Questioning the victims’ stories in the name of “we are unable to verify” is an insult to injury!

Moral, ethics and commonsense must prevail! 9/
