1/@telegraph is back with one of the most egregious hatchet jobs journalism has witnessed in recent time, courtesy of @berhe_lucy. telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

@berhe_lucy

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.

@Telegraph

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!....

...."because of major reporting restrictions in Tigray." However, #Ethiopians who languished under #TPLF|s Stasi-like regime for 27-yrs know how easy it is for #TPLF & their supporters to fabricate stories & couch witnesses. We've seen this movie before....again & again & again!!

@Telegraph

4/ The only supposedly objective evidence that @Telegraph provides are the sattelite images. What exactly do they show? According to the telegraph they show preexisting structures such as the Setit Police station and several warehouses...

How this corroborates that they are being used as 'concentration camps' is beyond reason and commonsense 🤷

5/ The main 'finding' of the satellite imagery analysis is "There are very suspicious holes in the ground next to the camps, in an area where no other hole gets filled with earth." ..

@Telegraph

Esteemed readers of @Telegraph are being invited by @berhe_lucy to take a leap of faith from 'very suspicious holes' to 'mass killings' solely based on her 'unimpeachable' words.

6/ The last time the world took such allegations at face value (remember the 'unimpeachable' Gen. Collin Powel at the UNSC, telling the world about the WMDs Iraq definitely had?) the world ended up with the Iraqi war and the suffering of millions.

@berhe_lucy

7. @berhe_lucy is using @Telegraph as her bully pulpit to demonize the Amhara people,an entire ethnic group! She is asking the readers of @Telegraph to endorse her belief that the Amhara people are savages who chop of limbs and gouge the eyes of their neghbors for pleasure.

@StateDept

8/ #Ethiopians can already hear the statements by @StateDept, @EU_Commission, @hrw & @AmnestyEARO writing themselves. The #InformationLaundering machine is oiled and ready to go.

@CNN

#Ethiopians hope against hope that the IC sees through the latest round of coordinated disinformation campaigns. We ask @CNN & @Telegraph to #DoBetter! #Ethiopians are parsing every sentence of every article & every frame of every video!
#DoBetterBerhe!
#DoBetterNima!

@wdavison10 of @CrisisGroup:
'the Mechanical Turk' of #InformationLaudering

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

@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. 🤔

Thread/Rant

Black Bodies and White Newspapers
[#TPLF #ChildSoldiers #MSM]

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.

#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.

Reintroducing #TheMasterplan in time for new year

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

New Thread: #HumeraMassacreDebunked

Let's debunk the #FakeHumeraMassacre once & for all! @nimaelbagir @berhe_lucy

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?

@nimaelbagir

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."

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.....

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." ....
