Starvation was a central strategy in the Nazi genocide against the Jews. Like Hitler, genocidal @AbiyAhmedAli had long been aware of the power that lay in controlling the food.

This’s exactly why he halted safety net program in Tigray & blocked FDI opportunities prior to declaring his genocidal #WarOnTigrayㅡall aimed at impoverishing the people of Tigray & deprive them of the capacity to care for themselves should rainy days come.

Since the beginning of the state-led #TigrayGenocide, his forces & those loyal to him have been actively confiscating, burning & looting food supply across Tigray.

The lack of concerted punitive action from the international community against this war crime has emboldened him to stay the course & starve Tigray to date. As a result, millions are facing a man-made famine of biblical proportion with so many lives already lost.

This acutely distressing reality can change if the world summonses the necessary political will to do what’s right & force @AbiyAhmedAli to:
-Reconnect Tigray
-Turn the lights on
-Resume banking & transportation services
-Provide unimpeded humanitarian access

-Withdraw 🇪🇷+Amhara invaders that continue to loot, massacre & rape civilians in parts of Tigray
-Fix the crucial bridges his forces have destroyed in order to impede aid delivery
@JosepBorrellF @SecBlinken a land of plenty is turning into a land of hunger on your watch. Act now.
