1/#UNSC (Quick🧵)
Summary: Everyone is shocked.
@antonioguterres, the US, Ireland, et al, are shocked about the obstruction of life-saving humanitarian aid during a famine.

Ethiopia, Russia, et al, are shocked that this is a matter of concern to anyone outside of Ethiopia.

2/Please let this conclude the phase of the international response to #TigrayGenocide where everyone talks about their feelings.

I'm attacking the diplomats, I know that they are only messengers. But the time to talk is over, now its time to #StopTigrayGenocide.

3/All of the positions expressed are entrenched. Russia and China are pretty wedded to their definition of sovereignty and Ethiopia gave absolutely no signal that they will allow food, fuel, and meds to Tigray.

#TigrayCantWait for these positions to change, people are dying.

4/Recognizing the urgency of the #TigrayFamine, the #UNSC or the US should take immediate action to secure humanitarian access. So far, Tigrayans have been forced to pay the cost for prolonged negotiations with the lives of their children. It's time to do the right thing.

Sorry, important edit. I'm *not attacking the diplomats. lol

5/The video in this post gives a very concise description of what's happening right now in Tigray for context.
