#Ethiopia: America and European countries are threatening sanctions against the Ethiopian Govt over human rights violations.

We know atrocities are taking place in Tigray such as rape and massacres - I have met the victims of the conflict and reported from the area. 1/

But the same western nations gave financial, military & moral support to Meles Zenawi, who led a murderous regime for 20+ years; committing crimes against Ethiopians & others including #Somalis.
What's the western nations' motives?
What did Meles do that Abiy isn't doing? 2/

Meles Zenawi did this: 'Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Ethiopian troops in Somalia of killing civilians and committing atrocities, including slitting people's throats, gouging out eyes and gang-raping women.' nytimes.com/2008/05/06/wor…

Meles Zenawi: 'Thousands flee as shelling by Ethiopian tanks kills hundreds of civilians in Somali capital' theguardian.com/world/2007/apr…

Meles Zenawi committed: 'War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity in the Ogaden area of Ethiopia’s Somali Region' hrw.org/report/2008/06…

TPLF-loyalists should understand that selective justice is injustice. You can empathise with civilians in Tigray, mass-raped and massacred and also highlight crimes committed by the TPLF, who ruled #Ethiopia for nearly three decades but now designated as a terrorist group. 1/

TPLF and other rebels fought a bloody war to bring down the Derg Regime. Led by Meles, they had 27-long-years to create strong institutions - that would have protected citizens and themselves.
Instead, Meles and his accomplices run Ethiopia and the Horn like a mafia state. 2/

Immediately, they started targeting community leaders; politicians, intellectuals, elders and anyone who questioned their rule. They hanged, slaughtered and executed people in front of their families. Often, they would display the victims’ bodies at centre towns. 3/

@M_Farmaajo

This man (photo) is Zakariye, ex-Head of Al-Shabaab Intelligence. He orchestrated many attacks including the Westgate Mall in Nairobi. Now, he works for the Somali Govt & is protected by his cousin @M_Farmaajo. I understand he regularly travels to Nairobi & often visits Westgate.

Few months after the Westgate attack I travelled to Somalia to report from inside Al-Shabaab training camp where the militants were training hundreds of fighters.
Zakariye was praised for 'succeeding the Westgate project'.

I wonder what Westgate victims would think that the man who masterminded such an attack visits the same Shopping Mall to socialise and I am told that he enjoys having a sugared Cappuccino.
