#TPLF forces “also” accused?

The list of TPLF atrocities stretches back 30 years—through the prisons, Ogaden, Oromia, Amhara, Somalia. National terror that TPLF could return to power is THE driving force behind this war.

History did not begin on Nov 3.

The idea that #TPLF came into this conflict with clean hands is deeply offensive to the #Ethiopia people who lost their loved ones to state-sponsored violence under the old regime.

Foreigners do not have the right to whitewash, forgive or forget those atrocities.
If the international community wants to play a useful role in resolving this war, they need to understand that it started back in 2005… or far earlier. In #Wolkait, it was the early 1990s. In #Eritrea, it was 1998.

Conflict resolution cannot be ahistorical.
I deeply wish that a truth and reconciliation commission is somewhere in Ethiopia’s future. When it happens, the #Tigray conflict will be one matter of many that Ethiopians will need to assess, recompense and forgive.

Comments on leaked UN audio below.

Foremost: I was struck by what a calm, sensible and unbiased group of professionals this is. Reassuring to hear the focus on successful aid delivery & the commitment to being data driven in all comments to media. 1/
Second, while the audio does mention one specific media story - on federal raids of safe houses - that appeared to be false, most of the emphasis was on the fact that evidence of rape being used as a weapon of war is not available YET. 2/
The audio also made clear the opinion of some staff that the int’l media has sensationalized the rapes occurring in #Tigray and has advanced a narrative of rape being used as a weapon of war that is not YET supported by evidence. 3/
