The demonisation & dehumanisation of ethnic #Tigrayans have been conducted publicly by Ethiopian journalists, politicians, public figures, activists, & genocide apologist & paid sympathisers of the Ethiopian regime.

Here I provide tangible evidence to support my claim.
Alemneh Wasa of zehabesha is a journalist by profession and has been at the core of the anti-#Tigrayan movement, especially, for the past 15 months.
An English translation to his bio on his @Twitter account:
<<This holy country Ethiopia is in trouble today due to her traitor children. The treasonous are unapologetically doing their best to destroy her. Beloved Ethiopians, I will do all I can in the battlefield of ...>>

Question: Why did the people of Afar & Amhara got massacred by the TPLF?
Answer: Because both people [the Afars & Amharas] worship God & hence they didn't think & were not prepared that the #Tigrayans, ...>> @JamesDuddridge@DavidAltonHL
Another Ethiopian, who is a PhD holder, shares the very genocidal & fascistic message of journalist Alemneh Wasa. His name is Bekalu Anmaw.
His bio: <<Perspectives & ideas that are good enough for the Ethiopian identity & moral are entertained [in this @Twitter handle.]

An English translation of his tweet:

<<... I will struggle for my country to the best of my capacity. And you should disseminate my information.>>
Shamefully, the same journalist, who promised to tell only true stories and expose the fake news, is one of the main actors of the genocidal campaign against ethnic #Tigrayans who live across d/t parts of Ethiopia.
15/n As you can see here the screenshot, journalist Simeneh Bayfers retweeted the genocidal messages of Bekalu Anmaw (PhD) & Alemneh Wasa (journalist) whose English translations I have already provided .
Three of them joined @Twitter recently (October & December 2021). @USAmbUN

Why is @Twitter letting such genocidal messages to be disseminated on its platform? @TwitterSafety

I have been exposed to 10,000s, if not 100,000s, of horrendous images over the past 15 months. But, this image is the most perfect representation of what Ethiopia means to #Tigray!
2/n
Ethiopia has always laughed at, smiled, and enjoyed the agonies of the people of #Tigray following the heinous atrocities she would inflict on them generations over generations.

In the image, this innocent #Tigrayan boy has no strength even to hear the barbaric woman soldier giggling let alone to hear the gunshots.
So, this is Ethiopia - a country of the most cruel & treasonous people on earth who would let their fathers, mothers, sisters, ...
If @MSF@MSF_Espana@MSF_EastAfrica do really want to know the whole story that led to the execution of their 3 staffs in #Tigray in June 2021, I'm more than willing to put you in touch with a medical doctor who'd been working with #MSF_Spain under the leadership of #Maria.
A heart-wrenching💔💔💔 testimony from a Mekelle based #Tigrayan journalist!
A journalist who was abducted & tortured by the Ethiopian troops [some soldiers were even vowing to murder him] in February 2021 shares his agony with the world. @hrw

Fitsum Berhane is a #Tigrayan journalist who was abducted from his home in Mekelle & tortured by the Ethiopian troops last year only because he served as a translator for the int'l media during their visit to the sites of the most horrendous massacres ever. @LaetitiaBader

His today's post on Facebook is very painful.
Here is an English translation:
<< Have you ever encountered?
When your former teacher pleads with you for a help saying "I could not get anything to feed my children" ... and when you are not able to do anything, ...>>
Bear in mind that Abiy Ahmed, high ranking govt officials, and high military commanders of the Ethiopian Army have been continuously dehumanising the #TigrayanRefugeesInSudan.
So, the @UN needs to take these repetitive fire accidents very seriously.
The #Tigrayan refugees have been through unspeakable levels of traumas following the tortures, persecutions, ethnic cleansing, weaponised rape, vandalising, ransacking, massacres, executions ... etc inflicted on them by the Amhara forces in #WesternTigray
What a heart-wrenching💔 expression from one of my contacts in #WesternTigray!
I saw the following picture going viral on Facebook. I was curious to know more & contacted the very person who posted it.

"A translation to his post: "Those who are in this picture are Tigrayans whom the Ethiopian govt announced about saying they are PoW. One of them [the one pointed out with an arrow] is a person whom I know very well. He's detained at Milabferes, Adigoshu, [Western Tigray]."

" His name is Muley & he is originally from Selekleka, [North_Western Tigray] and now they are parading him [who is a civilian] as a prisoner of war. They are torturing our civilian people."
Ethnic profiling at the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia!
One of my friends in Addis Ababa:
<<Gerewa, yesterday they took a copy of the employment IDs of every #Tigrayan employee at the Head Office of the Commerical Bank of Ethiopia.>>
2/n
I was curious and asked: " Wait, did they take the copy of the IDs of only the #Tigrayan employees or of all employees regardless of their ethnic background?"
To which my friend replied, "It is only the #Tigrayans ..."
