[💬 THREAD]

🇪🇹 Ethiopian Air Force waited for rainy season (cloudy) to come to an end before conducting targeted air strikes.

Targets are military installations & weapon depots used to command the #TigrayRebels from #Mekele.
Tank repair units, weapon depots & military comms units destroyed in past week.

Civilian casualties avoided at all costs.
Reports emerging from Tigrayans in #Mekele that TPLF refuse to allow civilians to leave city.

TPLF are hiding military depots & installations in regional capital.

💬 ‘FREE ACTION’ authorised on anyone caught fleeing city. In other words, shoot-to-kill.
1️⃣ Monday 18/10

Strikes hit Messebo Cement Factory (weapons depot) & Planet Hotel (comms infrastructure).

Note that Planet Hotel is next door to Dimtsi Weyane (see pic), the primary #TPLF propaganda outlet.
Also important to note TPLF were using Messebo Trucks to transport troops to front lines.

[I’ve misplaced the video but will tag it below soon as I can find it]
2️⃣ Wednesday 20/10

Targeted Mesfin Industrial Engineering compound (tank/armoured vehicle repair unit) on outskirts of Mekelle.

Also took out rebel training facilities in Agbe (Tembien).
Mesfin Engineering strike took out a couple portal frames, inside which decommissioned/damaged tanks were being brought online.

Rebels caught throwing tyres into fire to create a thick, dark smoke.
3️⃣ Friday 22/10

Strikes targeting former Northern Command base (commandeered by #TPLF).

NC being used as training camp & command centre.
Not much information/pics shared of this one (for obvious reasons).

1 missile appears to have missed & landed in empty farmland. Burned 1 hay pile.

Tigray elites suggesting the loss of this single wheat pile is the reason #Tigray is starving.
TPLF also forced a @UN aircraft to cancel landing in Mekelle. But it’s important to know…

💬 What time did the they try to land?

💬 What time did air strikes start?
4️⃣ Sunday 24/10 (today)

Strikes in May Tsemre (training camp) & Adwa (Almeda Textile Factory, used to produce 🇪🇹ENDF & 🇪🇷EDF uniforms).

This is Mesfin Industrial Engineering, an industrial area NOT residential ❌ on easternmost outskirts of #Mekelle.

The thick smoke indicates that fuel or weaponry was successfully destroyed.

Recall last month: #TPLF forces looted ~200ton explosives from Weldiya rail project 🤔
📍 More geolocated pics showing location of strike within Mesfin Industrial Engineering south compound.

Smoke originating from parking area. Other pics show some of the smaller warehouses were destroyed. ImageImageImage
🚨 CORRECTION:

📍 Geolocated pictures. Picture taken next to main portal frame warehouse in southern compound.

Smoke originates from parking lot in southern compound. Clearly it was not a random strike.

💬 What weaponry/cargo did they have stored here? ImageImage

🇺🇳 THREAD: Bias at the highest level of @UN with staff taking rebels’ side in #Ethiopia.

A summary of the bias going straight to the top, inc. @DrTedros of @WHO.
No blanket accusations. The UN is not homogeneous.

🚨 Biased officials named. Read on.

⬇️
🇺🇳 SIDE NOTE: @UN is organisation with staff from all over world.

Structure (for purpose of thread) is 2-pronged:
➡️ local/in-country staff (on the ground)
➡️ int’l staff (abroad).

e.g. You may see @UNOCHA (referring to int’l staff) & @OCHA_Ethiopia (for in-country staff).
PART 1️⃣
MANUFACTURED FIGURES:

Ran by @WHO (“partnered” with Ethio gov’t), Health Clusters generate data on those in need of humanitarian help & strategise on how to reach them.

⏱ Jan 2021: The sub-national #Tigray Cluster (w/ expert support) estimate 2.8mil people in need.

⚠️ Completely inaccurate portrayal by “journalist” @ZekuZelalem

Here’s the reality (taken from impartial @ACLEDINFO).

🚨 TPLF & Qemant Committee militias have been trying to enter from Sudan (Aug & Sep 2021). Clashes with ENDF in Shinfa, Gubay & Teha.

Details below ⬇️ (ctd…)
⚠️⏱ 31-Aug/1-Sep:
(ACLED ID: 8576370)

TPLF & Qemant Committee militias try to enter from Sudan. Clashes with the ENDF & Amhara regional forces.

⚠️⏱ 6/7-Sep:
(ACLED IDs: 8577075 & 8577797)

More clashes on Teha & Gubay fronts.
250+ TPLF militias captured.
⚠️⏱ 13-Sep
(ACLED ID: 8545487)

More attacks in Lencha by TPLF & Qemant Committee militias. Clashes with ENDF & regional forces.

This is now ~40/50km from Sudan border - deeper into West Gonder.

💬 Zeku is clearly pushing an agenda here.

Have a look at Kwesi Sansculotte (@KSansculotteG) (one of the @UN staff expelled) Twitter feed.

🤔 See him buddying up with Rashad Abdi & Kjetil Tronvoll. Even Alex de Waal’s ‘World Peace Fdn’ in there.

Not a single mention of suffering in Amhara & Afar - his bias is clear. ImageImageImageImage
Here’s Kwesi, the @UNOCHA ‘Peace & Development Advisor’, tweeting an article which opens by glorifying the TPLF.

💬 “Thirty years ago, I saw the rebels take Addis Ababa… it was the best day of my life”

A group responsible for the death, torture & imprisonment of thousands. ImageImage
This one’s interesting:

➡️ Why would this @UNOCHA ‘Peace & Development Advisor’ tweet this?

➡️ What objective did it serve given the purpose of Rashad’s tweet?

➡️ Is he trolling? Image
