@SecBlinken@NicolaADeMarco@AbiyAhmedAli While the concern is timely!The information you got regarding Welkait what TPLF calls "West Tigray" is absolutely wrong. The atrocity in Maikada ('west Tigray') was committed by TPLF! There's solid proof. Even the TPLF lead admitting who the victims were 1
@SecBlinken@NicolaADeMarco@AbiyAhmedAli The labeling however has made the ongoing #GenocideAgainstAmharas worse! TPLF was working on demonizing Amharas for 45 years (when they started their armed struggle with Derg), result is whenever they have a setback, they always blame it on Amharas. Derg wasn't an Amhara gov, 2/
@SecBlinken@NicolaADeMarco@AbiyAhmedAli same with Dr. Abiy who hails from an Oromo party. But all the same the demonization and targeting goes 2 Amharas. Right now pro-TPLF & pro-OLF forces are planning a joint campaign to get more Amharas killed back in Ethiopia. The statement made it worse
@SecBlinken@NicolaADeMarco@AbiyAhmedAli And everyday.. worse attacks are happening in Ethiopia, #Wellega and #Metekel are hotspots of these attacks! OLF operates in both places and they are closely working with TPLF. Here is details on the attack from today:
@SecBlinken@NicolaADeMarco@AbiyAhmedAli & while all that is going on,the pictures of Amhara victims from attacks in #Wellega & #Metekel keep on being used as evidence for atrocities claimed 2 have taken place elsewhere!Mr. Secretary @SecBlinken
this is typical double jeopardy!
@SecBlinken@NicolaADeMarco@AbiyAhmedAli It doesn't stop there. Some of the groups who organize in the name raising awareness about Tigray conflict, have been on TPLF duty too. Clearly, broadcasting "they want a country without Amharas". Wht do u think they will do to Amharas in Welkait (wht they call west Tigray)? 6/
@SecBlinken@NicolaADeMarco@AbiyAhmedAli Here is a clear and apparent danger! If you force Amhara Police from, Wolkait the area that was forciully annexed to Tigray by TPLF, they'll finish the job they started at Maikadra. They will finish them off! Here see the hatred for yourself
@SecBlinken@NicolaADeMarco@AbiyAhmedAli Most important fact about Ethiopia is! Many events may have transpired as Ethiopia is an ancient country, but there was never a mass murder of people just because they were a certain ethnic identity! There was never a government composed of a single ethnic group. 8/
@SecBlinken@NicolaADeMarco@AbiyAhmedAli TPLF (along with OLF) imposed this ethnic apartheid system and it is on the way to completely Balkanize the nation, please do not be party to that. Work with the people to remove this divisive inhumane system,Thank you!
Thread on the bipartisan resolution
Can those of you that are rallying against the bipartisan resolution please explain your reason? I am going to break this down, and I need a point by point response for these.
My reminder for all of you is that this is democracy in action, 1/
While the executive side (Department of State) partially passed judgement regarding the situation in Ethiopia. The legislative wing has looked into the situation even more. So they pressed for cessation of hostilities as expected of any friendly country who doesn't want war 2/
When asking 4 cessation they asked for Eth Gov. +TPLF + other forces to all stop.They didn't just make it on one side, because in reality war happens between 2 or more groups. You can't ask just one side to stop. They mentioned all the back and forth for the 2 years b4 the war 3/
