#Tigray
How many people do they need to die of indiscriminate bombing, regime induced collective starvation, luck of medical treatment and extra judicial killings by armies and ethnic militia supported by dictatorial regimes for the #UN and @antonioguterres to intervene?
In #Tigray, it has been 46 days since @AbiyAhmedAli's regime declared a full-scale war consisting of indiscriminate shelling of all cities, drone attacks, massacres committed civilians by ethnic #Amhara militia and two national armies (#Ethiopian and #Eritrean).
Amidst of the war, transport, communication and banking services are blocked and bank accounts of every single Tigrayan are suspended, which means, they cannot withdraw money to buy basics even if they have money in their accounts.
More than 50k #Tigrayans have become refugees across the border in Sudan. The return of a limited phone connection in Mekelle this week also brought us horrific stories
of crimes against civilians; extra judicial killings, rapes, and looting of properties of being committed
...by the Ethiopian and Eritrean armies in Mekelle. And, this is just in Mekelle, a city that's under the watchful eye of the IC and whose capture didn't involve heavy fights. Imagine what's going on in other cities and villages across the region where war is still raging?
Across Tigray, factories, homes, farms, and all kinds of infrustructures have either been looted or distroyed by the invading forces. Today, it's reported that @AbiyAhmedAli's regime decided to expropriate/nationalize Tigray's industries, businesses and companies.
"Since the war began, heavy bombardment and shelling has rained down on Tigrayan cities. The region is being attacked on many fronts by the Ethiopian National Defense Force, the Eritrean military, Amhara security forces and militia, and special forces from Afar & other regions."
"There has been massive destruction of lives and property. Eritrean and Amhara elements have engaged in widespread pillaging and looting, including, according to multiple reports, prized cultural and religious artifacts."
