#GaslightingEthiopia 101:
How to support #TPLFinc by undermining GOE using #TPLFcrimes
1/ In their report released on Dec 9, @hrw detailed atrocities perpetrated by #TPLF in #Chennai and #Kobo, between Aug 31 and Sept 9.
The findings of the report are chilling and makes you shudder thinking of what must have happened in areas held by #TPLF for several months.
2/ Yet the report raises more questions than it answers.
What about the 90 days since Sept 9? Why conduct the reports remotely, despite at least some areas being free for 3 months? Why release the report now as #TPLF occupation is ending & more atrocities are coming to light?

Two possible reasons: Competition and Complicity.
3/ Compettion: @hrw and @amnesty were left in the cold and felt exposed by the Daniel-Bachelete report that unequivocally showed that most of the HR agendas they pushed over the past 12 months were unsubstantiated.

Recently, @EthioHRC and @UNHumanRights announced that they are planning to do a joint investigation of HR violations in #Amhara and #Afar. This must have sent chills down their spines.
Both organizations scrambled to get a report out before the JIT comes out with a report that will deal fatal blow to the 'Only Tigryan Victims' mythology. @amnesty released theirs last month while @HRW released theirs on Dec 9.

By coming out with their reports earlier and grabbing the headlines @amnesty and @hrw are trying to justify their worth to their backers who invest billions on them.
4/ Complicity: What is comical about the @hrw report is their audacious recommendations section. According to @hrw, the solution to #TPLFcrimes is an arms Embargo against GOE. This is tantamount to saying the ideal solution to deter serial rapists is to restrain their victims! 🤷♂️
5/ In conclusion, the main aims of the @hrw report seem to be minimization of the atrocities committed by #TPLF and use these findings to call for an action against the elected Government of Ethiopia.
6/ @hrw factoids:
@KenRoth, the ED of @hrw since 1993, is one of the longest serving dicatators in the world. Most of the dictators @hrw railed against over the years have either died or resigned. There are only 4 African leaders that were in power before @kenroth!

@hrw is also one of the least diverse organizations you can find around. It is enough to look at this👇 composite picture of its senior management!
