URGENT: @AsstSecStateAF asks @AbiyAhmedAli for MORE compromises with ZERO demand to the rebels. We welcome Amb. Satterfiled to the Horn but are perplexed by the doubling down of a failed policy that exclusively & foolishly supports a mortally wounded TPLF. #nomore #disarmTPLF 1/9

2/9 If @AsstSecStateAF continues to give TPLF hope that it can somehow negotiate out of this situation; it will continue to take hostages, plunder communities and commit more atrocities in its efforts to force GoE to negotiate, dragging the US right behind it. #nomore #DisarmTPLF

3/9 Unless @AsstSecStateAF addresses the legitimate concern of Ethiopians that the US stands with the TPLF rather than the ppl of Ethiopia & their young democracy; it stands to lose not only the Horn but Africa with its 1.3 Billion people & emerging economies. #nomore #DisarmTPLF

4/9 TPLF chose war as a means to settle its differences & has been given ample space to pursue war by the Biden Admin; which has sanctioned the govts of Ethiopia & Eritrea and stripped trade access from the Ethiopian ppl; but not applied a single punitive measure on TPLF. #nomore

5/9 Horror stories about the TPLF occupation of Amhara & Afar are coming to light and a tidal wave of outrage is building. The United States has the power to quell it NOW. Say ENOUGH! to the TPLF & unequivocally call on TPLF leadership to peacefully surrender. #nomore #DisarmTPLF

6/9 There has already been a military solution, TPLF has lost the war both on the battleground & public opinion. They took a chance to re-take Addis & lost. They are now defeated, cornered & holding the Tigray ppl hostage as a bargaining chip for negotiations. #nomore #DisarmTPLF

7/9 TPLF has been put in an irreversible position where they cannot fight their way out. @AsstSecStateAF must persuade TPLF leaders to lay down their arms to stop the bloodshed & begin the process of reconciliation b/n the Tigrayan ppl and the Ethiopian state. #nomore #DisarmTPLF

8/9 TPLF leaders (~96) have arrest warrants. Those who are not dead or in custody must surrender so
@AbiyAhmedAli can consider a declaration of amnesty and unconditional peace negotiations for those compelled by the TPLF leadership to be complicit in the war. #nomore #DisarmTPLF

9/9 Prime Minister @AbiyAhmedAli cannot negotiate with any of the leaders of TPLF. He did not choose the war, and cannot choose to negotiate. That decision belongs to the Ethiopian people. Abiy will lose his gov't if he consents to sit with Reda or Debretsion. #nomore #DisarmTPLF
