"The one thing that is clear is the Chinese have decided which side they are on. They are supplying drones to Abiy, and they are being used to kill people, its tragic." - Martin Plaut.
Going on to talk about Isayas being a Maoist like the Chinese and how he is taking all the money from the mineral mining concessions in the country.
Its being recorded....
Now someone's talking about Chinese censorship of the media.
It's hosted by this guy @ReclaimEritrea - possibly called Yonas - and @RozanaStone both of whom appear to be associated with >> Martin Plaut has just left. reclaimeritrea.com/news/category/…
Tigray speaker.
"We don't know that China is trying to kill people in Northern Ethiopia." - Host responding to the Tigray speaker.

Update on this thread.

There was no mention in the latest @WHO #COVID19 Briefing - and the English soundtrack can be found on the Twitter version of the briefing. Which is quite interesting.

Apparently hamsters are now getting Covid. And not just hamsters.
The full briefing is here (video tweet attached).

I have also checked @DrTedros's twitter account. He has not tweeted about Tigray since January 15th. The day after the Govt. of Ethiopia lodged its complaint about his conduct.

This search query finds his "Tigray" Tweets. Between 6th and 15th Jan he tweeted about Tigray 9 times. This was the week in which he raised the subject in two COVID19 Briefings.

Is anyone else having difficulties listening to the English Audio for this @WHO press conference >> media.un.org/en/asset/k1p/k…. I can only get the French translation?

The English audio seems to cut out after a few seconds.

Very odd. Image
The Covid-19 briefing is live now.
The recorded @WHO #COVID19 briefing is now available. But in the recording there appears to be no English audio available either.

Which is very odd. This was the briefing in which @WHO / @DrTedros indicated they intended to continue to demand access to Tigray. Image

This bomb cyclone #ExtremeWeather event on the US East Coast has certainly lived up to its hype.

Looks like a trailer for #TheDayAfterTomorrow.
^^ This is the last six hours.

Below a 24 hour animation. The light blue is snow and freezing rain. The fire colours are rain (warm wet air) coming across the coast.
So basically a moving area of 905,000 km2 of snow and freezing rain, moving north fairly slowly over a period of 24 hours.... and not over yet.

Afghanistan rain/snow update. This is a major problem for the humanitarian emergency there. Not sure how much snow there is on the ground already, but by now there must be a lot. @UNReliefChief @UN_Spokesperson

#ExtremeWeather - #SaharaWaterTransport
@UNReliefChief @UN_Spokesperson The bits of Afghanistan which are receiving the most snow are those where the people are. Image
This is a forecast of additional snowfall from 14th through 17th January. (which excludes snow which has fallen since Christmas already on the ground).

Ethiopia has some incoming, unseasonal, rain forecast. This is a 72 hour forecast from the latest GFS model.

And not just Ethiopia. Further south in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania significantly more rain is forecast.

Thread....
This 24 hour animation shows two causes. On the right there is a large area of active convection in the Indian Ocean which is producing atmospheric moisture which is flowing into the horn over Somalia.
Simultaneously the East African Monsoon is having a burst of activity pushing north into South Sudan and South West Ethiopia.

This is satellite imagery during the period during which this latest Tongan eruption has occurred (see quoted tweet). There is a signature which could be an eruption. But nothing like the earlier ones. Perhaps entirely under water and giving off steam. @MichaelFieldNZ
@MichaelFieldNZ Here's a closeup. The infrared #Himawari Satellite data should show more. @pppapin
This is a more useful view,
