Connecting the dots as @sec_council continues to dither on the #WarOnTigray:

1/9 The 'hidden' war on #Tigray is active as well as the atrocities on #Tigray.
@reda_getachew also provided some insight from the ground.
2/9 On top of all the weaponry, #Ethiopia is engaged in the mass starvation of the people of #Tigray. This is a war crime that warrants an immediate @UN intervention.

3/9 The failure to enforce international rules has given Abiy and Isaias a carte blanch to jail, kill, loot, destruct, commit genocide and war crimes. It’s reprehensible not to use all available leverage to stop such appalling violations.
4/9 The level of brutalities in #Tigray are beginning to emerge. Gruesome accounts are being reported. These could have been minimised or avoided with a timely and principled action.

@vercrus


@Kuluhama
5/9 The regime in #Ethiopia is at free will to even harass international academics and analysts. It transpires they have something to hide as @KenRoth also remarked.


@KjetilTronvoll provides an excellent rebuttal,

6/9 The Amhara militia backed by EDF and Eritrean forces committed gross atrocities in #Tigray. Emboldened by the lack of accountability, the Amhara militia appear once again at the forefront of the war with #Sudan.
7/9 #Eritrea has a long history of destabilising the region. There are reports of Eritrea’s involvement in the war with #Sudan. This is a direct outcome of the failure by the international law enforcers to unequivocally condemn #Eritreas’s destructive role in #Tigray.
8/9 #Eritrea is expelling #Egypt’s ambassador as noted by @RAbdiAnalyst. Due to the lack of concrete action on the #WarOnTigray, at least #Tigray, #Ethiopia, #Eritrea, #Sudan & #Egypt are embroiled in a complex international war in one form or another.
9/9 For any entity even remotely considering the #WarOnTigray as a 'law enforcement operation', @GebrekirstosG has an in depth and a well-researched piece.

Eritrea’s involvement is as certain as the sun rising in the east.

Who and why encouraging a doubt on this?

1/2 The deliberate inaction by the enablers of the #DuoDictators maintains the doubt, regardless of the humanitarian crisis and war crimes in #Tigray.
2/2 Condemning Eritrea means taking actions for breaching international law. This would then spoil the complex and grand plan for the Horn.

In 2020, it seems acceptable to commit war crimes whilst powerful forces provide the perfect cover!

No crocodile tears later please.
