There are unbelievablly glaring gaps in @nimaelbagir latest piece for @CNN:
1/ According to the article the community leaders in Sudan are certain the bodies are of Tigrayans from Humera since they get the information from witnesses who.....
"saw people marched down to the river in one of the facilities and heard gunshots......We're told to look out for their bodies coming down the river."
After a few paragraphs @nimaelbagir quotes experts saying that the bodies had all been chemically preserved indicating...
"they had been stored in a similar environment, possibly a storage facility or a mass grave, before being dumped into the river, the experts said." ....
So which one is it @nimaelbagir? Were they taken down to the river & shot or were they in a mass grave? Why would the perpetrators go to all this trouble to preserve the bodies? This is actually consistent with the GOEs claim that the bodies were transported from some where else!
2/ According to @CNN|s article that it takes approximately 2-3 hours for the bodies to drift from Humera to Wad El Hilou.
@nimaelbagir, how do you explain the fact that the rumours of the alleged massacre were being circulated more than 10 days prior to the bodies showing up?
In reality, every evidence in the article proffered by @nimaelbagir actually suggests a close coordination between the people who dumped the bodies and the people who 'recovered' the bodies!
3/ @CNN "According to Gerri,his community usually finds the exact number of bodies it has been told to expect." Only the people who dump the bodies know the exact numbers!
1/ Davison is an employee of the @CrisisGroup, a New York based organization that claims to work to "....prevent wars....& ...build a more peaceful world."
@CrisisGroup claims to be an independent organization but a cursory examination of their finances tells a different story. A very different story!!
Their biggest nongovernmental donor is Soros' Open Society Foundation (nothing to look here)
49% of their funding (19 mill USD) actually came from government grants. And who are these gracious countries? The Netherlands (5.9 mill), Canada (3.5 mill), Norway (1.5 mill), Sweden (1.03 mill). Other funders include EU (2.7 mill), France, Finland and Ireland. 🤔
1/ In July @nytimes described #TPLF#ChildSoldiers as "motivated young fighters" and now @guardian guardian has followed suit with their most recent coverage of the conflict in Ethiopia.
Many #Ethiopians and independent observers are enraged by the portrayal of #ChildSoldiers in the MSM. The refusal of the 'International Community' to unequivocally condemn this exploitation of Tigrayan children has been baffling for for many.
2/ The western world has been objectifiying black bodies for the past 500 years. Look at this pictures of black Africans naked and chained like wild animals or with hands chopped by the soldiers of their Belgian masters, taken by white photographers.
Thread
[longer than usual, please indulge me] #TPLF & #Genocide, a love affair, 1991-2021
1/#TPLF came to power in 1991, in the eve of the Yougoslavian civil war and genocide. It was against this backdrop that it started reshaping #Ethiopia into an ethnic federation.
The constitution that remade Ethiopia into an ethnic based state was ratified in 1994, while bodies were floating down Kagera River. While genocide was being facilitated by identification cards that advertise your ethnicity, #TPLF decided to enforce the same rules in Ethiopia.
2/ #TPLF institutionalized animosity between the Amhara & the Oromo which it tended to for three decades. #TPLF always portrayed itself as the only group that can avert imminent bloodshed between the two groups and the disintegration of #Ethiopia.
Whenever the West plans to destabilise a certain region or regime, they mobilize the MSM, AO and HR groups in a concerted manner.
1/The media will start a campaign that prepares the ground for future interventions...
...while swaying public opinion towards the needed direction. They start labeling the government as #totalitarian if not elected, and #populist if elected. Terms such as #genocide#EthnicCleansing#famine would get bandied around. They cultivate a new "reality" on the ground.
2/ Aid organizations would join the chorus and paint a picture of impending humanitarian doom. From one day to the next the number of people facing famine grows in leaps and bounds. The talk shifts towards #unfettered humanitarian access and humanitarian corridors
1/ On July 22 the GOE issued a statement warning, that the #TPLF is transporting dead bodies of its fighters from Afar towards Mekele to stage a fake massacre...
On the face of it this looks like quite a suspicious and rediculous allegation. To start with, how are the #TPLF going to get the body to Tekeze without decomp setting in?
We got the answer thanks to @nimaelbagir|s experts, "the bodies had all been exposed to some form of chemical agent after death, leading to a process which had effectively preserved them before entering the water."
2/ In the article @berhe_lucy tries to overwhelm the senses with gory but ultimately unsubstantiated details of limbs getting chopped off & eyes gouged, so that the reader's critical mind is temporarily offline & receptive of claims that can't pass even a cursory critical glance.
3/ I ask the esteemed readers of the Telegraph to bring their critical mind back online. After a few paragraphs filled with outrageous claims of 'atrocities' & 'concentration camps', @Telegraph itself admits that they "could not confirm these accounts" independently!....
