9 facts people tend to forget about the operation in #Tigray:
TPLF had rejected many calls for dialogue w/ the gov't, mocked efforts of #Ethiopia's respected elders & PM @AbiyAhmedAli. But some still think talks w/ the defunct group would be a magic wand to pacify Tigray. (1/9)

#TPLF launched several rockets to cities of the #Amhara Regional State & #Eritrea’s capital city-#Asmara. And yet misguided media narratives pictured both forces as belligerents. (2/9)

The #Ethiopia|n gov't has been busy rebuilding destroyed infrastructures by the #TPLF but the remnants of the group have continued to destroying infrastructures with renewed zeal as a major strategy of their “struggle” for the people of Tigray. (3/9)

Based on the findings of #Ethiopia's Attorney General, the gov't holds its soldiers accountable for criminal deeds & has continued to back up the #UN-#EHRC joint investigations. But some corners unjustly maintained their doubts on the independence of such institutions. (4/9)

#TPLF mercilessly slaughtered members of #Ethiopia|n defense forces, cut women’s breasts, run over unarmed soldiers & exploded their heads w/ trucks & yet it dares to claim as if it is a victim of atrocities of every possible crime on earth. (5/9)

#TPLF massacred day laborers & innocent civilians in #Mikadra town profiling them as non-Tigryans but it has continued crying foul for the death of its militia & soldiers who were killed in action while dressing as civilians. (6/9)

#TPLF remnants killed humanitarian workers, truck drivers & looted food & non-food items that were about to be delivered to the people who need support, and yet it has continued to shed crocodile tears claiming the gov't is starving people to death. (7/9)

The #Ethiopia|n gov’t has covered 70% of the delivery of food items in Tigray from its meager resources addressing the needs of 4.5 & 2.9 million people in two rounds but it still is a subject of attack by some corners who have been reluctant to deliver concrete support. (8/9)

Several international NGOs & aid institutions are operating in #Tigray & more than 82 foreign journalists have been given ever-expanding access to the region, despite a lack of acknowledgment for such genuine efforts of the #Ethiopia|n gov’t. (9/9)
