➡️ Sudanese farmer describes soldiers (Tigrinya speakers) crossing to Sudan.

➡️ Tigrayan refugee (a TPLF conscript) describes how TPLF forced them to fight, gave...

...them arms training & told them they could not leave Tigray. He describes fighting in Humera but eventual being overwhelmed & fleeing into the jungle with special police.

It is noteworthy that Mai-Kadra (May Cadera), the site of the...

[Full video: ]

...gruesome massacre of some 1100 noncombatant, non-Tigrayan (predominantly ethnic Amhara) civilians by forces loyal to TPLF (including Tigrayan militias, the "Samri" youth group) is located in the Humera area. This territory was part of a collection of subregions annexed to...

...the Tigray region under TPLF from the Amhara region by forceful occupation. Thereafter, the junta committed genocide on thousands of the indigenous Amhara in an effort to resettle ethnic Tigrayans on the fertile land & re-engineer the regional demographics.

Currently the biggest threat to Ethiopia's unity is Oromo extremism which vehemently rejects Ethiopia as a country & by extension mainstream Ethiopian history in lieu of a revisionist political narrative in which the Alpha & the Omega are Emperor Menelik II. This shortsighted...

...perspective uses an extremely superficial dichotomy to label any dissenting voice or political figure as "Amhara" including the current ruling party OPDO/OPP. It also seeks to monopolize oppression & reduces it to an ethnic phenomenon neglecting contextual factors & issues...

...of class (both pre- & post-feudal). There is also a tendency to spread alternative facts & baseless propaganda which scapegoats "Amhara". It's a worldview which seeks to unite ethnic Oromo under a system of thinking that portrays them as victims that're justified in any &...

@EthiopianHRC

Do not be fooled by the page @EthiopianHRC which closely resembles the @EthioHRC twitter handle created shortly after the death of singer Haccalu. The page is run by #OLF supporters to run propaganda to smear the #Ethiopia|n gov't & scapegoat Amhara security forces w/o evidence.

@smh

➡️ Shared a tabloid piece from @smh & @_Will_Brown on Mai-Kadra alleging the victims of the gruesome massacre were ethnic Tigrayans killed by Amhara militias, citing the refugees that fled to camps in bordering Sudan.

➡️ Claimed the Al Nejashi Mosque in Tigray was damaged by...

...Ethiopian/Eritrean forces w/o no evidence. In fact the attack fits the TPLF MO.

➡️ Shares photos of dead people & claims they were murdered by the Amhara "Special Police Force" (citing tweets from Oromo extremists) which has never operated outside of the Amhara region.

An Unending Siege;

After annexing Amhara territories to Tigray, TPLF attempted to systematically change their heritage. It started with renaming them (e.g. Telemt ➡️ Tselemt, Tegede ➡️ Tsegede) but also involved demographic engineering which saw people indigenous to the...

...region killed, displaced, disappear w/o a trace so their hereditary land could be seized & redistributed to settlers from Tigray. Historically these regions were inclusive & because it bordered Eritrea & Sudan, the people were multilingual speaking Amharic, Tigrigina &...

...Arabic mainly for economic reasons (e.g. caravan trading). TPLF disrupted this harmony & criminalized speaking of Amharic & Amhara traditions to the extent that people could not openly practice their traditions. This included persecution of anyone who opposed them including...
