#NoMore
U.S. Based and many European news outlets like #CNN, #Bloommberg, #BBC, #Reuters and #France24 have reported the war in Ethiopia without the context of decades of atrocities that faced the Ethiopian people with the former ruling government under the TPLF.
The lack of context and bias in these coverages has emphasized on the violence and atrocities in Tigray and paints the nature of the conflict as a genocide. This reporting provides the narrative of African countries that is easier for the West to swallow and easier to dismiss
as yet another authoritarian leader violating and oppressing an ethnic group. Such simplified narrative is then used to justify Western governments interference in the affairs of Ethiopia as has been done all over the world in many so called “Third World” countries.
All this has left little coverage of the atrocities that have happened all over Ethiopia in Amhara, in Afar, in Oromia, in Somalia, in Gambela, in Beshangul Gumuz that have been escalating for 27 years.
These atrocities continue to play out throughout the time that Abiy has been in leadership. Ethiopia is fighting a war on 2 fronts: one with neocolonial powers and another with the TPLF and other rebel groups that use ethnicity as a tool to manipulate and maintain power
We ask Ethiopians at home and all over the world to say #NOMORE.
